Cross Stitching, Sewing, Guitar playing, Crocheting,Knitting

I enjoy cross stitching because it is a creative venue which causes you to start with a blank canvas and end up with the beauty of painting with thread. I also enjoying crocheting and knitting which is another creative outlet to work with my hands to create a precious heirloom or heartfelt creation.  

Music is very comforting and allows you to relax your mind as you learn which is why I try my hand at guitar playing because I love music all types of music which is mentally stimulating.
