Hello everyone, my name is, well you can call me Lessa and apparently I joined this site at some point in the past but forgot about it until I stumbled upon it today. I am 54 (on April 1) and have 2 bio-children, 3 step-children (only one claims me though..lol), 4 absolutely amazing grandchildren, 4 furry babies, 1 furry (permanent) house guest (all of which meow), and just about the greatest man I could ever ask for.
I taught myself how to cross stitching (see story below) approximately 25 years ago. I had to stop about 10 years ago due to arthritis but thanks to modern medicine I am able to stitch again. I also enjoy painting, coloring (mostly with my granddaughter), and beading. I tried to learn to crochet but because I am left handed and everyone I know who crochets is right handed I never really got the hang of it. I am slowly getting the hang of this site, so feel free to provide me with and pointer you think will be helpfull.
Now the story of how I taught myself to cross stitch. My ex-husband's aunt gave me a cross-stitch clock kit for Christmas one year as an afterthought. You could tell it was an afterthought because 1) it was a used kit, parts of it (the clock mechanism) we missing. 2) I had no idea how to cross-stitch, which she knew cause we had talked about it a few times. 3) It was given to me the day AFTER everyone else got their gifts. She claimed she had forgotten it where she was staying. Well, I was majorly bored one day and decided to give it a try. I figured if I screwed it up, well at least I didn't pay for it. I read the instructions probably about 4 times before I started. I wish I had a picture of it because it came out beautiful. I even ended up buying the clock parts to finish it. I was so proud of that clock. I ended up giving it to the aunt for Christmas that year. Not because she deserved such a beautiful gift, but because I wanted to show her that I was able to take her afterthought and turn it into something beautiful.
Well that is all for now. I hope I can make some friends here to make this site even more enjoyable.

Thanks for the lovely introduction. So nice to hear that you could teach yourself to cross stitch and finish the clock! Even sweeter of you to gift it to the aunt after the 'after thought'. On the bright side she introduced you to a craft you enjoy, there is always a bright side if you look hard enough :D

The "personal" information is not anything that can identify me. Plus those 5000 entries are not about ME, they are about the book characters I get my name from.

Hello everyone, my name is, well you can call me Lessa and apparently I joined this site at some point in the past but forgot about it until I stumbled upon it today. I am 54 (on April 1) and have 2 bio-children, 3 step-children (only one claims me though..lol), 4 absolutely amazing grandchildren, 4 furry babies, 1 furry (permanent) house guest (all of which meow), and just about the greatest man I could ever ask for.
I taught myself how to cross stitching (see story below) approximately 25 years ago. I had to stop about 10 years ago due to arthritis but thanks to modern medicine I am able to stitch again. I also enjoy painting, coloring (mostly with my granddaughter), and beading. I tried to learn to crochet but because I am left handed and everyone I know who crochets is right handed I never really got the hang of it. I am slowly getting the hang of this site, so feel free to provide me with and pointer you think will be helpfull.
Now the story of how I taught myself to cross stitch. My ex-husband's aunt gave me a cross-stitch clock kit for Christmas one year as an afterthought. You could tell it was an afterthought because 1) it was a used kit, parts of it (the clock mechanism) we missing. 2) I had no idea how to cross-stitch, which she knew cause we had talked about it a few times. 3) It was given to me the day AFTER everyone else got their gifts. She claimed she had forgotten it where she was staying. Well, I was majorly bored one day and decided to give it a try. I figured if I screwed it up, well at least I didn't pay for it. I read the instructions probably about 4 times before I started. I wish I had a picture of it because it came out beautiful. I even ended up buying the clock parts to finish it. I was so proud of that clock. I ended up giving it to the aunt for Christmas that year. Not because she deserved such a beautiful gift, but because I wanted to show her that I was able to take her afterthought and turn it into something beautiful.
Well that is all for now. I hope I can make some friends here to make this site even more enjoyable.
Thanks for the lovely introduction. So nice to hear that you could teach yourself to cross stitch and finish the clock! Even sweeter of you to gift it to the aunt after the 'after thought'. On the bright side she introduced you to a craft you enjoy, there is always a bright side if you look hard enough :D

Welcome here! I'm glad you're able to stitch again - I don't know what I'd do without it. I too fell into cross-stitch (in 1994!) and much preferred it to embroidery. What kind of fur babies do you have?
Thank you. I am reading a LOT of threads right now to learn how the site works. Plus I am hoping to find an answer to a question I have, which I will not post here cause this is not the place for it.
Welcome back. I’m a cross stitcher too. My big sister taught me the basics about 30 years ago. Since then I’ve taken advantage of YouTube. So e great tutorials there.
