crestedcrazy · October 28th, 2009

Just wanted to say Hi and I am new here and somewhat new to embroidery in general as it's only been a hobby for that past year or so!

I have already learned lots but tons to go but I find I just love it and am trying everything I can even did a roll of TP today

I live in Canada with hubby and my 3 Chinese crested dogs and.

So nice to meet you all and see you round the boards

Hello, crestedcrazy. You have found the best embroidery site on the net for both information and chat. We would love to see some of your projects. (I've been embroidering almost 5 years and just did my first TP a few days ago.)

Wow what are the chances of finding someone else who love embroidery and such and has cresties as well

And I agree they are a wonderful breed and my first purebreed and I am hooked!
3 are plenty at the moment though although one day I do want one more.

My male hairless Noid is my Muse and the whole reason I even got into embroidery in the 1st place, started off just doing an online doggy boutique and that evolved into making clothing for him and others and of course embellishing and personalizing with the embroidery

And yes forums can be very addicting too but this one will definitely be very helpful in learning too

That's my story and sticking to it ...lol

Welcome here, you found the right place and always someone who love the same things

**sharong** · October 29th, 2009

HI Crested, welcome to the forum..great place to be and learn and get inspired. I love cresteds too, but would spend all of my time sewing them clothing if I had one. Again Welcome and feel free to jump in HUGZ!

Hi Crestedcrazy. Welcome to this wonderful site. I have a friend who lives in Pain Court Canada is that anywhere near you? Lots of helpful people here. I too have just been embroidering for a little over a year and love it. Lots of wonderful designs on this site that stitch out beautifully. Took me forever to look at all the wonderful projects everyone has. Hope to see some of your work soon.
