Let's start!

Hello out there! Just trying this out to see how it looks. Don't yet have the courage to actually post this in the real internet world.......

Have been lurking on so many wonderful blogs and am totally awed by the work people do. Both the stitching and paper crafts. My pupose in starting this blog is to mabey give myself a kick in the pants to do more finishes (and in turn more starts!).

So, the start is private, for my eyes only. But will pretend I am doing this in the real world so that when I do finally have the courage to go public, you can see the behind the scenes building of my confidence.

Also, I'm very new to blogging and will make tons of mistakes I'm sure. Have patience (said to myself now but for the future readers too).

Now I need to practice posting a photo. First the one at the top is our backyard in January. We got tons of snow and I find it absolutely beautiful. I love the birdhouses on the fence. Not sure if they belong to our neighbour or if the prior owner of our house put them there.....love them either way! I will post it below as well, just in case I change the photo at the top.

Ooops.....not sure how to get it to move below this paragraph. Oh well.

One more try.....here's a photo of a finished hardanger piece made not too long ago.

Yipee.....I figured out that I can move it!! Just previewed. Every time I come back to edit it adds spaces between paragraphes. Also font too big.
