Modern cross stitch FTW!

Oh, how I miss modern cross stitch. It is my worn in baby blanket, my steaming dish of comfort food, my mindless, easy, relaxing first hobby. There is no challenge except to finish the thing with as few errors as possible, and I am totally okay with that.

For my first trick, I'll report on a project I'm wrapping up as well as a project I'm just starting. Wheeee!

I'm back, baby

After much consideration, I have decided to shut down my website casa-apis.net. I arrived at this decision for lots of reasons: money, time, effort (lack of all three), and complete and utter laziness enabled by Facebook. And considering not everyone can or even wants to access Facebook, I've created this blog as my project dumping grounds. I tried LiveJournal in the past and not only was it too difficult for me to use, but I wound up boring myself trying to come up with stuff to write about. And if I bored myself, who the hell would want to read the crap that bored me?

I'll still post pictures of my work on Facebook; there really is nothing like the instant gratification of someone Liking or commenting on a picture of something I worked so hard on. But this blog will help me wax moronic about my projects and not feel like I'm imposing on my friends' and family members' patience. And it will give those who care an insight into my research and artistic thought processes, as well as track my progress of my various projects. So it's a happy middle ground that I'm curious to trod. I hope you'll join me and find some use for my ramblings, and that we can entertain and support each other along the way.

Ta,
Krista

PS I realize the formatting is way basic. I'm trying to figure out this design thing, so bear with me.
