Hi there! I’m Linda, the creative mind behind this little corner of the internet where cross stitch magic comes to life. My journey into the world of cross stitching began unexpectedly when I became disabled and found myself with more time on my hands than I knew what to do with. What started as a way to fill the hours quickly turned into a passion—one that allowed me to blend my lifelong love of drawing and painting with the meticulous art of cross stitch. One of my early projects was stitching portraits of John Lennon and Jim Morrison. While I couldn’t part with John (he’s a keeper!), Jim Morrison found a new home, and that’s when I realized my creations could bring joy to others, too. Those original designs are close to my heart and not available for sale, but they inspired me to keep designing and sharing my work with the world. In my shop, you’ll find a growing collection of original cross stitch patterns, finished tapestries, greeting cards, bookmarks, and other handcrafted items. While I’ve stitched many of my own designs, not all of them are listed here—yet! If you see a pattern you’d love to have stitched by me, feel free to reach out, and we can chat about making it happen. I pour my heart into every stitch and take immense pride in creating pieces that are as unique as they are meaningful. Cross stitching isn’t just a hobby for me—it’s a way to connect, create, and share a little bit of beauty with the world. If you have any questions, custom requests, or just want to say hello, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d love to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by, Linda
