Coffee and Cross Stitch

About me.

When the going gets tough, pick up a needle & thread and start stitching.

If that doesn't work, find the bottle of Captain Morgan.

My passion is cross stitching, and taking all those patterns I have (and trust me when I tell you.....there are a LOT....to the point where I'll never be able to stitch them all in my lifetime....) and really, truly making them my own.  Whether it's by changing the fabric from that which is used in the pattern, or changing some of the fiber colors, or, in  many cases, both.  There are so many ways to make a piece really unique and true to who you are.

I do other stuff, too...like repurpose furniture, scrapbook (project life is a new obsession of mine, making my scrapbooking much easier & more streamlined), make cards, and sew.  So, it's not just about stitching here, it's all the trouble my right brain gets me into.

This blog is all about my want & need to share my creative spirit and remind all of you how important it is to do something creative everyday.  It doesn't have to be a huge undertaking - something small, like a greeting card, is equally as important as a large stitched project that's been a WIP for 4 months.  It doesn't matter.  JUST BE CREATIVE.
