About the stitchy me.

Well I am not sure where to start, so I guess the beginning is a good place.



So this is me, Sian Louise.

I am from Cardiff but am currently living in St Helens, Merseyside. I moved here in 2010 with my daughter who is a mini stitcher. 

I started stitching at the age of 5 or 6. My grandad taught me and my brother how to stitch, needless to say only I kept going. The first thing I stitched was an owl on an old grandfather clock, I have no idea what happened to it, but I guess over time it has been lost. I carried on under my own steam, continuing with long stitch and then slowly getting back to cross stitch. Unfortunately most of my early stitching has since been destroyed in a house fire, which was the main reason I started this blog so I could keep track of my progress and see all the projects I make and keep/gift. I have no idea what I plan to do with the ones I will keep / have kept, but it is nice to look back and see. I have a habbit of taking photos of pretty much everything so I will always be able to keep a running commentary in my own way.

As much as I love to stitch I also love to shop, this is reflected in the amount of stash I own. This however is nowhere near the amount I would like. If only I could have a stash house, or room, and/or even a craft room, but unfortunalty I only have a corner of the living room which is very often shared with my mini stitcher.
