My kids are always saying that I give a lot of love to this Pete guy and they are probably right. Whenever I get completely exasperated I do a nice little, "For the love of Pete!" tantrum and then quickly pull myself back together. Of course, when my 11 year old asked me WHO Pete was, I admit I was completely speechless. I have no clue who Pete is.
So what in the world does "Pete" have to do with Cross Stitch? A whole heck of a lot, actually. I realized after the "one millionth" time of talking about Pete that I really needed some good old fashion "me" time. I'm too lazy to go to the gym and I really am not into sweating, reading a great book is always fun, but I feel like I'm not accomplishing anything, and it also means I need to lock myself away from the family. Which is when I had my little ah ha moment! Cross Stitch!!!
It has always been my fall back plan since I first learned to stitch 20 years ago. I stitched my little fingers off when I had my daughter, I sewed like a mad woman when I was a stay at home mom, and then reality hit me smack dab in the face and I had to go and find a "job". Eck! Unfortunately, my passion of stitching was set by the wayside...for the last 9 years!
So when the kiddos were completely perplexed by this Pete guy, I figured now was as good as any to get out the old needle and thread and get to stitching!
Unfortunately, Mr. Reality had another dose of "smack Suzy in the face" when the ex-husband threw away ALL OF MY STUFF!!!!! (Rat bastard comes to mind, right about now.) So after a bout of frustrated and angry tears, threats of bodily harm, and wanting to strangle the imbecile; I pulled myself together and decided to go on a very nice shopping spree!
Which brings me to this blog! In my "previous life", I was in blog heaven with Let's Talk Organizing. I love to Blog! I love to Organize! I love to Stitch! It just makes sense to combine them all!
For here on out, this blog is going to be all about cross stitch, organizing the goodies, and having one hell of a time!
Happy Stitching!
Suzy
