Hi there; I'm Rosey!
Not Rosie.
Sometimes Rowzee.
But never, ever Rosie
.

Are you here to learn about me?  Well, that's awfully nice of you!  I am a happy housewife and the proud captive of three goofy cats (Peanut, Oreo, and Klondike) and one goofy husband.  I have not always loved crafting; as a little Rosey I was more likely found outside in the dirt.  Now I can't keep my hands off fabric/thread/notions (after washing off the dirt -- I love to garden as well)!  I taught myself how to cross-stitch in 2009 from tiny kits picked up in thrift stores.  In 2014 I signed up for a class to learn crochet -- I adore thread crochet and am determined to cover my house in doilies.  In 2015 I learned how to knit because I must accomplish all crafty things.  It was great being able to look up both crochet and knitting patterns on ravelry!  Then I found a Singer sewing machine waiting to be trashed so I've been dabbling with fixing it up.  Next on the To Learn agenda is tatting.  My crafty adventure is completely a WIP and I definitely have more patterns for all hobbies than I'll ever be able to stitch without living forever! :D

I am somewhat of a non-traditional stitcher.  I particularly love stitching video game and anime/manga subjects.  My goal is to stitch all of the Final Fantasy logos and so far, I've completed FFIII, FFVII, and FFVIII! I was honored with an appearance on Mr. X Stitch for a Sprite Stitch best bits (Oct. 2012) for the FFVII piece!
