So I've decided to try cross stitching again. It's fun and I'm so excited to see the final product I'm trying to work on it as much as possible. I'm a huge Mary Engelbrite fan and I bought a bunch of her pattern books recently off Ebay. So I'm really excited about getting some projects made. I'm trying to practice on a project for me and if it turns out well I'm going to try and craft a project for my friend Andrea who is having her first baby in February. I'd like to make a baby cross stitch project with his name and such on it for his nursery. 

I've also been trying to teach myself how to quilt but it turned out to be a little more difficult than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, no one I know quilts or anything like it so I've been basically trying to teach myself. Once again, I'm working on a personal project for me, and if it turns out ok, I'd like to make a baby quilt for Brody. (that's the name they picked out for their little boy, isn't that cute?!) Anyway the theme for his nursery is going to be a safari/jungle theme. It should be easy finding materials for that. However, I'm having a really hard time finding a pattern I like. I'm looking for bigger blocks/sections for the quilt rather than the small ones. I was told it would be a lot easier that way. So if anyone has any good patterns or has a good link for patterns, please let me know!

Anyway, that's what I'm working on right now. I'm excited to be a part of this site now and to be able to log all my little projects. I'll be sure to post pictures when I finish my projects.
