Introductions

[KrystalBall]

Hi everyone! I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Krystal. I'm 29, from Cincinnati, Ohio. I just recently (like within the last week or so) got back into cross-stitching after an over five year hiatus. While browsing Pinterest, my two favorite worlds collided, cross-stitch and gaming. I seriously thought I'd died and gone to heaven LOL

I've already kicked out a small version of Robert Indiana's "Love" that I'm making for a framed piece for my room. Since my floss stash has dwindled over time, I'm thinking either a couple of the awesome Portal pieces that I've found here, or maybe the Assassin's emblem; from two of my favorite games.

I can't wait to chat with you guys and gals about floss, fabric, patterns, and the occasional gaming session!

[Remy]

Hello, everyone. Most people call me Remy or hey you. I've recently moved to another country and married my long time sweety and best friend. I'm usually hiding under a rock suffering from insomnia making something. I paint, sculpt, cross stitch, make chain maille, write and anything else I can self teach myself. Current project is hopefully to complete 100 xmas ornaments. Hope to locate my camera soon.

Hey guys. I've been lurking on this forum for about 8 months and I thought it was finally time to introduce myself. I started doing crafts based on video game sprites a few years ago but only started cross-stitching about 6 months ago, and it's by far my favourite! I'm a graduate student in Canada and, aside from actually playing games, stitching them has become my new favourite past time!

Welcome all! Enjoy your time at Sprite Stitch!

Hi there!
I finally found some time to post here
Just to say this is an amazing place, a dream come true I'd even say, for geek-cross-stitchers like me. A big thank you to the admins and people dedicated who make the place live and do magic
I'm San, short for Sandrine, I live in France (are there other French people here?) and I've been cross stitching all I can since 2009. That's not as much as I would like with the day job, other time consuming passions and so on, but still
I have a few things on FB, DA (with my little home-made-in-Paint patterns) and well, if I find some time, I would love to enter a swap, a quilt charity at some point... We'll see how far that goes, since I got a few projects in line before ^^'
Anyways, good to see you, I know a few names around here (from DA). Y'all be good, see you around!

Hi San! I know you from DA. In fact, I think you were my first watcher ever.

Hi, I'm Jenn I've been stitching for years and just wandered into this great site yesterday. So many talented people in one place! I want to thank you all for creating and sharing so many spectacular charts and WIPs. I don't know where to start! LOL

Hi all! I'm Emma, I'm from Canberra in Australia and I've been stitching since my Grandma taught me when I was 12. I've actually used this site to find awesome patterns for a few years now - I've made the Companion Cube, the Tetris bookmark and I'm working on the nerdy dice pattern now to make into a dice bag for my partner, and I figured it was definitely time to sign up. Thanks to everyone who has already helped me out without even knowing it.

Figured an introductions thread would be a safe place to start posting.
My name is Sara and I'm a caffeinated geek girl originally from a small town in Pennsylvania that is infamous for flooding. It would be safe to say I have been raised around arts and crafts. My mom owned a craft store when I was really little. And most of the family on that side has either been into drawing, graphic design or something as simple as my youngest sister being a pro at building things with fimo clay.

I have attempted knitting (failed miserably on that one) and painting--I attempted to do a set of Legend of Zelda pieces for the cake toppers for my wedding. Mom saved the day on that one when I just couldn't get that triforce just right..
I have been cross stitching on and off for roughly two years. It mostly started with small baby things that I attempted to make in order to prepare for the arrival of my niece. She wound up showing up a bit early though, so I didn't get to finish that project.
I came back to stitching a few months after moving. Currently working on a Halloween-inspired Hello Kitty piece and will be soon starting chemistry-themed ornaments for my coworkers.

I've been a long time lurker on here (actually it wound up being my husband who introduced me to the site) It is AMAZING to see what kind of talents exist out there.
