A brand new thing!

It has been a long time since I made a new post, and a lot of life's waters have passed under my bridge.  At 55 years old (three years ago) I went back to school, a two year full time course at the local college.  I graduated with honours, in spite of my daughter falling ill and me having to reduce my course load.  Then, just as I was getting my new career under way, boom!  Guess what, it's cancer.  Tests, appointments, chemo, more appointments, surgery, more surgery, and I'm out the other side.  Only took almost two years.  But I'm good now and am ready for my next adventure!

During my treatment and recovery, one of my anchors was cross stitch.  I've been a stitcher for years, decades even, and I have always been a dabbler in design, so it was a natural leap to get into designing for real.  And hey, I have a wealth of photographs in my portfolio that would make great cross stitch pictures!  So Magic Hour Designs was born.  After only about six weeks, my Etsy shop is starting to get noticed, and I'm starting to see some sales.

So if you are looking for A Brand New Thing, check out my shop!  I have something for everyone, even beginners looking to try out a new craft.  See those bookmarks?  I'll be having lots of gift ideas available, too.

Happy stitching, everybody!
