My name is Amy (but feel free to call me Alondira as well, I answer to both). I am from a little town just outside of Cambridge in England.

I have been a lurker on here for a while as a lot of people seem to be. I have been cross stitching for around 20 years (I was about 6 when I picked it up). Anyway, I have always put it down and picked it back up again as most people seem to do. Recently I have picked it all up again (a 4 month summer holiday away from uni).
-Studying Archaeology and Landscape history with a background based in forensic sciences (just if anyone was interested)-

Along with cross stitching, I can sew clothing (I used to attend the MCM expo so I made all of my cosplays for that), knit and vaguely crochet. I am also a huge gamer (mostly an RPG background-Final Fantasy is the biggest gaming influence I can think about). I discovered this site when researching different project ideas, I found the Serenity ship from Firefly on here, and just stuck around. I have many plans for different patterns and projects that need to be completed.

Currently I am working on the Celtic FC emblem for my brothers Christmas present, after that we shall see what happens (what thread I currently have and size of aida available). I am thinking of the Sophie and Howl cross stitch that I found on here =)

Small town out of Cambridge, Archaeology and Landscape History, MCM Expo..... Do you by any chance know Jesse "Mad Hatter" the Femgeek?

Hi everyone! I'm Freya. I've been cross-stitching for 5 years. I'm not sure if I should give out my age, but let's just say that the majority of, if not all, members of this message board are MUCH older than I am!

Anyways, I love cross-stitching but for a long time I've just been sticking to templates, particularly the Mouseloft patterns. However I stumbled upon this site just last week and found an excellent Professor Layton sprite pattern, which I decided to make into a bookmark for my aunt. It came out great, and so I thought I'd join so that I could have a go at posting my own patterns. I like video games, and although my liking for them in general has decreased over the last few years due to my interests leaning towards other things like anime and music, I still love to play sometimes. I'm just very particular about what I play. I have ADORED the Spyro The Dragon for ages and still do, and I also like Professor Layton, Super Mario, Kirby and Monkeyball. I like Pokemon as well but I have gone off it quite a bit. I think it's because I prefer the older generations; am not a big fan of Black and White. I love Pacman too, and Bubble Bobble but I am having trouble finding the original version anywhere, have only come across Puzzle Bobble recently.

Thanks for reading! I hope it's alright for me to join. There didn't seem to be any age restrictions, so... yeah

No need to give out your age if you don't want to, but we welcome all ages here so don't worry!

I guess I joined over a month ago so I suppose I should introduce myself.

I live in Moncton, NB, Canada with my wonderful husband and my adorable children. Even though I consider myself a scientist I've always loved arts and crafts. I currently cross stitch but I used to draw, hand sew, quilt and paint water colour & acrylic. I've played video games most of my life but I'm not very good. I mostly play rpg's (I over level so I can easily destroy everyone) and harvest moon & rune factory (I can go at my own slow pace without being punished).

This site is awesome and the forum is so friendly I just had to join!

(Plus the great smilies

)

My name is Scott and I'm a software engineer from Dallas, TX. Believe it or not, the engineer in me found cross stitching to be one of the most logical craft pursuits out there (without using a computer). I guess it was inevitable that I would find this site that melds computers/gaming and stitching! I have been lurking for quite awhile and really enjoy looking at all the wonderful things everyone is working on.

Hi!! I'm Alice. I'm super excited about your website. I'm a nerdy girl gamer/cross-stitcher. I am at a disadvantage, though, because I have a Mac, and few of the cross-stitch softwares work on my computer

I was also wondering about the ethics of making some of these patterns to sell at a local game shop or comic book shop? It would be very small scale, mostly for fun. Should I create patterns (that may already exist) to make, or can I use ones that are already posted? Please let me know!

Thanks fellow stitchers!

Hello,

I joined this wonderful forum a few weeks ago, but this is actually my first post. I figured I should bother to introduce myself.

I used to cross-stitch a lot when I was a little girl and have been cross-stitching from time to time (mostly for xmas gifts). A few months ago, I had an idea of cross-stitching Super Mario World sprites into a bathroom towel and I thought I was very original and that this had never been done. Then I discovered this website and realized my idea had been done pretty much a 100 times already and wasn't original at all! XD Right now I'm working on a LoZ OoT project for my husband as a xmas present with patterns I found on this website. I also plan on working on a big Phantasy Star IV project after xmas.

On a more personal level, I'm guessing I'm in the oldest members of this forum (hitting the big 30 in a couple months, bleh...). I'm french canadian (so don't pick on my english mistakes please! ;_;) and I'm a huge video games player. I feel like, except for my job, everything revolves around video games in my life (hobby, music, conversations and now cross-stitch!! XD).

This forum is amazing and I'm glad to now be a part of it!

You know in the "intro video" when it quickly flashes a screenshot of Chaz, Wren, Rika and Rune (one after the other)? I'll use those and in the middle I'm gonna put the PSIV logo. I haven't decided yet if I'll make it into one big cloth or 5 separate cloths with a custom frame. I'm leaning towards a custom frame.

Don't steal my idea, I totally wanna be the first one to do this!! ;o
