Hello!  My name is Dede and I'm a .

Check the Active WIPs page for the most recent updates.

I'm a creative person, but not very artistic. Which generally leads to much frustration!   Cross stitch is my way to let that creativity flow.

I crossed my first stitch in November 2002, right on the cusp of middle-age, and quickly developed a passion.

True to my somewhat compulsive nature, I soon had over a dozen WIPs (Works In Progress) and had reached SABLE (Stash Aquisition Beyond Life Expectancy). And since I like big stuff, many of the designs I'm drawn to are BAPs (Big Ass Projects). Then I discovered HAED (Heaven and Earth Designs)! Needless to say, I now have 23 active WIPs, multiple UFOs (Unfinished Objects), and bunches of kitted projects. Plus a wish list a yard long. I never seem to finish much, but I'm finding great joy in the doing!

Gee, I never realized how many acronyms stitchers use!
