Description

I am a reader, a lover of movies, listene rof music, cross stitcher and sometimes writer nearing my late-twenties.
ome of my favourite reading materials include A Song of Ice and Fire and Harry Potter and some fantasy fiction. I also like the odd graphic novel. I love dramatic films, as well as the odd romantic comedy. I prefer alternative and Indie music. My main hobby is cross stitching, something I started in summer 2011. I find it relaxing and satisfying. I also love taking in the culture of the city I live in, generally just enjoying what it has to offer; be it the parks or the little shops that can be found in the downtown area.

I live with my fiance and our two beautiful kitties. The kitties are excellent “help” when it comes to stitching…

This blog is a place for me to share my works in progress and completed cross stitch projects as well as some reflections on life in general.
