You would think being married to a geek that I would be deep into the online blogging world. But alas, I have usually opted to to keep pen to paper with a personal journal. I figure it's about time to come out of the dark and share with the world.
So here we go....
Let's get the unpleasant stuff out of the way first. In May of this year I found out I have cancer. Breast cancer to be exact. And since that time I have had mammograms, biopsies, ultrasounds, a double mastectomy with port placement, a revision surgery and new port placement, EKG's, MUGA scans, and now I'm having chemotherapy. WHEW! I've been busy. =) If you would like to follow my adventures with cancer, you can read all about it by clicking here. Okay, okay so I'm not a complete noob to the blog world. ;P
But, believe it or not, all that has left me more time to do something else....
Crafting. I love to make things. I am a "jack of all trades, master of none" when it comes to crafting. I dabble in crochet, hand embroidery, scrapbooking, ornament painting, sketching, etc. But my first love will always be cross stitching. I find it to be therapeutic, especially now.
I recently completed a little cross stitch ornament for my sister for her birthday. And I am currently working on a little something for my hubby's boss for Christmas. (Pictures to come soon for those projects.) I am already planning my next project for my other sisters birthday. And with the holidays coming I expect to keep very busy while I let the chemo do it's job.
Until next time...

What a journey you have been on recently. I am like you in that cross stitching makes me relax. I have a new follower.
