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!
