Welcome to the latest edition of Where Bloggers Live. If you’ve been following anytime you know -it’s kind of like HGTV’s “Celebrities at Home,” but…Bloggers! We’re a group of six bloggers who are sharing. Be sure to check them all out. Today’s edition is DYI or crafting. Crafting – the activity or hobby of making decorative articles by hand. WOW, I’m excited to see what everyone else shows us today.
So, here we are. I suppose I’ve done all sorts of both DYI and crafting projects over the years, but I’ll just share my favorite as you have other things to read. 🙂
Counted cross stitch – I’ve been cross stitching for 40+ years and still find it to be a great stress reliever. I’ve given away a gazillion and have a closet full of supplies. I’ve designed my own charts (patterns) for years and a few years ago my boss encouraged me to market my charts and now I have a small business selling my cross stitch charts. (You’ll usually see a couple in the right column here and my other ones that I currently market can be found at Iris Originals – OR in shops around the country.) Don’t misunderstand – I’m just a little fish in a big pond – but I do enjoying designing the charts. Besides, at my age you need to do what you enjoy if you possible can!

And there are a plethora more – but I want to highlight two of my favorites. This was my very first chart to market and I designed and stitched it when I was undergoing chemo for breast cancer. When my boss convinced me to market it I added instructions for all the many different kinds of cancer.
And of course, the lineup wouldn’t be complete without…
