Seriously, I hate the blooming cottonwood tree. Little tuffs of fluff everywhere in the air. Making my life miserable. How I hate the cottonwood. I take a bunch of meds to control the allergies so I don't sound/feel like I am sick all the damn time. This year, even after everything I take and the shots that where given, it's not enough. Head feels like it's in wet cement, coughing all the time, sneezing constantly, and now super itchy eyes to top it all off. To make the eyes feel super awesome, I some how dropped some shampoo directly into my left eye. It still hurts right now. Grrrr. All this is making my crafting incredibly difficult. :X

Still working on learning how to crochet. I know I need to finish the Castle. But I wanted to learn how before I lost my Grandmother. Since she did so much with crocheting. I have some of her work, and I would love to be able to make a blanket like she did. But I don't have enough patience for it. I keep screwing up and getting all upset over it. Having a very hard time holding the hook and yarn. But I honestly want to learn this so I can make a few yip yips as a start and go from there. Who knows I might figure it out and go all out making cute little critters! :excited:

I am a Nerd/Geek and a huge gamer. I love most things that are sci-fi, fantasy and fiction. I am pretty old, and married. Slightly on the oddball/crazy side, but I am never boring. I tend to be very much a birdbrain when it comes to crafts and art. Working on one thing, something else will pop into my head forcing me to stop and go do that other thing or I will go insane. I used to make rich and interesting worlds, characters (the good, the bad) for my hubby to use in our D&D campaigns. Though we stopped playing long ago, I have been trying to write a little about the adventures before they completely leave my head, making room for newer things. Still need to edit and work on those. I work pretty hard on concepts but for what ever reason when I work on them the ideas fall apart and are either forgotten or they stumble out as a giant steaming pile and I am at a lost on how to get it right like it was in my head. As hairbrained as I am, I do manage to once in a while pull off some amazing stuff. But you'll have to stick around to see it when it happens.

How else would I get to see the TW you will stitch some day :) and YW! Sanzo was always a fav of mine :) BTW where did you find that dragon cross stitch you just finished? Most of the craft stores in my area have wolves, cats, prayers, people but no fantasy anything any more. It's sad times.

I made the pattern myself!! :) It came from someones drawing on here and she kindly let me use it. I can't share the pattern -- I'm so sorry for this. I totally love seeing peoples original pieces-- not something that is constantly stitched over and over. I'm starting a new pattern in the new year..I hope.

I would recommend a HAED (Heaven and earth designs) pattern-- but they are twice the size of anything I would do. I couldn't spend a year stitching one pattern(would drive me crazy). I have heard recently that people are having problems with some of their patterns. Some of the patterns have one symbol for 2 colours. I'm not sure how much time they spend on editing their patterns.
