      |           I am very happy to have the opportunity of being part of your day. I
        have led a busy life and like many other women tend to reflect on the
        past when I am idle. I feel blessed that I have an interest in a variety
        of things to occupy my time with. You see, I don't feel old and useless,
        when I look in the mirror it shocks me to realize the woman looking back
        is really me! That reflection no more reflects the way I feel inside
        than a dress three sizes too small fits my body. 
 
 
  
 In reality....
 "The older I get the older OLD gets."

      | I will be adding more subjects here as I do needlework such as knitting,
        crochet, and cross-stitch. I enjoy making my own cross-stitch patterns
        from favorite photo's. Stitching them brings back many happy memories
        and the finished product is "one of a kind".  I
        especially like working a "bust" type pattern to a maximum of
        ten to fifteen bronze tones. One day I hope to post a picture of a
        project from start to finish. I also hope to find opportunities through
        this page to exchange projects, patterns, ideas, plants etc. | 
    
      | I love to cross-stitch 
        I make my own patterns,  and I have free african violet pattern for
        you.  Soon  I will be adding  more  on a regular
        basis. |
