New Blog!!

I have a new blog!  I have had blogs in the past that have never amounted to much, mostly because I don't really think that any one cares about what I have to say. This time I will be showing my cross stitch starts (because I'm a serial starter, not so much a finisher).   I love the process of starting a new project, getting the thread, finding that perfect material.  Getting all my supplies just so. Then the putting the needle to that beautiful piece of fabric and watching my creation come to life.  But that's where I fall apart.  After a few weeks, days, or months I will start to look at the piece and see the flaws. Or maybe lose my place on the piece or see another project that has to be completed by me, or for other stupid reasons I seldom complete anything.  I'm hoping that as I blog I will have others encouraging me to continue.  Maybe if I use this blog to set some goals maybe I will be able to actually finish one.

I thought I'd tell you the reason for the name of this blog as well.  One day I was sitting and holding my little sweet granddaughter who is now 18 months old.  She is so sweet and one of my favorite things to do is cuddle with that sweet angel!  So on this day I had gotten her to sleep and while I love to hold her I can't just sit and hold her without something else to concentrate on.  So I picked up my cross-stitch. It came to me in that moment I needed to name my blog cuddlin and cross-stitchin because that is what I love to do most.
