My story

My story is hardly a story. Would that I could write like Miss Austen. But I cannot. I can, however, embroider and arrange floral designs to the best of my abilities. I discovered my love for everything floral about the time I graduated college with my Illustration degree. I had then completed my exploration of Austen’s main novels (a journey that started in eighth grade) and decided on a favorite painter: Monet.

Well, I have a decidedly brown thumb when it comes to any real gardening. But I found I could draw and paint flowers quite well. Then I tried my hand at arranging fake flowers in wreaths, and vases and found that very satisfying. And a few years back I remembered how my grandmother had taught me at a young age to cross-stitch. My wandering mind is not so great with counting large quantities of Xs however, so I explored the wider range of stitches that make up ‘embroidery’ and found it suited my floral proclivities very well indeed.
