It's been years since writing was my forte, so hopefully I don't make much of a mockery of myself with this, so here goes. : )
I'm a 31 year old cross-stitcher/ designer. I recently started my own company selling my patterns called Snow Dragon Designs. I currently have 4 patterns out for sale and I'm working on a couple more right now. I'm also a married mother of two adorable little children, a 4 year old girl who I'll call L, and a 2 year old boy I'll call G. They tend to keep me pretty busy during the daylight hours, leaving my work relegated to the nighttime. My husband I'll call J. We have your standard, stereo-typical life, apart from the fact my husband is what I call a non-travelling roadie. He works for a media company doing live sound and lights. While he does get to do some awesome shows working with some great artists (he's worked with Shania Twain, Matt Dusk, Blue Rodeo and Bob Dylan, just to name a couple) but for the most part, since he doesn't travel around to follow the bands, he does a lot of political work which keeps him busy for much more than a 9 - 5 job. There are weeks at a time where he's so busy I'm questioning if I have a roommate or a husband. But that being said, he loves his job and since I love him, I'll support it even if I don't always like it. I was raised to believe that you should love what you do, because then you'll actually love to do it, and then will excel at it. Besides, he lets me do what I love so I guess I owe it to him. :)
I love animals, dragons and nature. I'm a trained falconer, however do not currently own a bird since I don't have need of another child who needs food every 6 hours (or less depending on the bird) and since I really like the smaller ones, 3 hours between feedings is too close to having another baby - not my current goal, thank you very much. :) We do have one pet currently though, a very cute little grey chinchilla who's about 8 years old now.
I also have a bit of a video game addiction, but generally to the cute games or role-playing games where there's a story to follow. I'm not fond at all of the shoot-'em up style games. I think the closest I've gotten to that is the Diablo series of computer games, but that's due to my other obsession which has not been fed much lately which is a love of all things Medieval, clothing, armour, weapons, etc. I love reading about the way people used to live, I think it's utterly fascinating the way they dressed, and things they did. Mind you, I'd have been burned at the stake back then for not adhering to the codes of conduct for women, but what the hey, we can all dream of a simpler time every once in a while. I have a couple of medieval dresses, however don't wear them all that often since it a.) freaks people out - most people can't deal with seeing a woman in a medieval dress walking past them in the grocery store, and b.) it's too darn difficult when you're dealing with two little ones who usually have grimy fingers or runny noses just to keep them clean for a day - and they're not easy to clean, let me tell you...
And once I figure out how to upload photos to my blog, I'll start adding pictures in here, but for today, I think I'll end it and going back to finishing up my latest cross-stitch pattern I've been working on, which is a remake of a Sue Coleman design put on to a Christmas stocking for J. I've been working on it since November and I am almost done (thank god!) so I'm hoping to finish before it gets too late tonight.
So a bientot! and I hope to see you all again soon!
