Ok. I'll give this one a go. I "used" to be an avid obsessed cross stitcher. Then my not-yet-ex husband decided his new life wasn't to include me. For the last 2 years and counting, the ensuing divorce has killed my nerves and, I've been fearing, my love and passion for this needleart. So, in an attempt to rekindle the passion (for the needleart - not the ex!), I will join this quest:Cross Stitch
