Hi, everyone! My name is Melissa and I’m a Tennessee girl now living in southern California. I drink copious amounts of coffee and love to cross stitch, read, and travel. I’m a total geek and love all things technology & gadgetry including my iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Kindle, etc.

As I mentioned above, I love to cross stitch. In addition to those, I also enjoy knitting and crocheting on rare occasions. I also do a lot of card making and paper crafting, but my first love is definitely needlework. If you would like to see examples of my cards, I have a separate blog (melscardcorner.com) and Instagram account (@melscardcorner) for those.

I started stitching when I was around eight years old when my Gran (my paternal grandmother) taught me how to do traditional embroidery. I discovered counted cross stitched when I was in high school. Once that happened, it was all over for embroidery. This year (2022) will be my 50th year as a stitcher. I can’t believe it’s been that long!

Thanks for visiting my blog!  I hope you’ll come back often.
