Welcome to my Stitching Haven! A girl can't pick up a wonderful hobby without having somewhere to keep all of her goodies, can she? :o) I love having a new hobby! Now when I sit in my comfy chair I have something pretty to look up to. It's beyond relaxing! I can listen to my Josh Groban, Rod Stewart or the Chill Out playlist on my Zune and stitch away!No interruptions, no distractions...who am I really kidding? Now that I have a nifty new room to do all of my stuff in, the family has decided that they too would like to join me. Although, the great part is they are all joining me in learning HOW to cross stitch as well, including my fiance! How nifty is that?!
All the company aside, there are several important aspects of having your very own stitching haven.
- A very comfy chair. There is nothing worse than sitting in a chair and your back starts hurting 15 minutes into your sewing.
- Wonderful lighting. Quite frankly, my eyes can't see that 32 count linen as well as they used to.
- A side table. Anything that can hold your floss, pin cushion and all of the other goodies you need to stitch with.
- Mood music. I like relaxing music that can take me away to a far off land. :)
- Glass of water. I don't really want to get up once I sit down. When I get on a roll I am staying put! Besides, if I am drinking something in a red or dark color I would hate to ruin my thread or fabric if I accidentally drip or use my tongue to wet the end of a particularly persnickety piece of thread.
Of course, when the weather is nice you definitely won't find me sitting inside. I love to drag all of my goodies out to the patio and enjoy the fresh air and the cool breeze!
Where is your stitching haven?
