"Think you can't change the world? Too late, you already have. It was changed for the better the minute you were born. There are more people than you can imagine who will never be the same because they came in contact with you, if only for a fleeting moment." ~Gail Purcell

Welcome

Well here I am in "blog land", somewhere I never thought I would be! But I have been reading some wonderful blogs these past couple of months and I have gotten inspired.
I always knew that there were amazing, talented women out there and I have loved seeing all of this creativity displayed on their blogs.
Years ago when my own children were small and I was home more, I spent a lot of time doing needlework. I would stitch at night or during their nap times and share the finished results with my family and friends.
As the kids got older and I worked more, I lost some of that energy and enthusiasm I had for stitching. I have slowly gotten into quilting in the last five years, and have several things in my "to do" pile, but I find I'm still having trouble getting started.

I am hoping that by sharing my experiences with family and friends in "blog land" that I can regain some of that enthusiasm and energy that I have had in the past. I know that I have missed the quiet comfort that stitching brings to me.
Can't promise that the journey will be exciting, but I hope you will join me while I try to get back in the creating groove.
