~ New FB Group ~ New Video Tutorial ~

 Hey Howdy Friends & Folkj!

I have created a new Facebook Group and actually have RENAMED it as: 

the Uncounted Cross Stitch Group

{with the unofficial definition as: the unconventional, uncounted, freehand or freestyle cross stitching group...not necessarily meant for those who count stitches, but for those who want to stitch early styled & inspired samplers, WITHOUT counting their stitches....

so, 

this is not a group for those of us who purchase charts from designers 

and use graphs to create an already designed project

....on the contrary ~

this is a group for folks who love early and primitive styeld and executed samplers 

in the early, untrained school-girl style...

uncounted & uninhibited

with wonky, uneven, crudely miss-stitched, 

not quite cross stitched but definitely not back-stitched

{kindly refer to the 1990's} execution.

I have uploaded a video to the group, 

sharing my crash-course basics for those who would like to replicate this style...

here is the link to request to join the group, where you can watch the video  

~ and perhaps connect with like-minded stitching folk ...

I would like to add this:

I love to share what I do with you all...

I have no problem doing so.

the only problem I seem to run into is 

persons that like to berate me for my techniques 

and disagree with how I do things ~

and to them I say:

Hey ~

thanks for your input.

if my way of doing things does not suit you,

kindly move along...

no need to chastise me for anything. 

you may be more 'schooled' than I am, and if so ~ 

then perhaps you should upload a tutorial on how you do things

 instead of being negative about what I'm trying to share with friends?

not trying to be ugly, just want everyone to be happy ~

and if I can spread a little happiness in your day,

well then my heart is full-enough.

I can only wish for you

that your heart be full-enough as well.

so here is the link to my new group, with the new name ~

if you're so onclined to visit, then kindly let me know...

and I am always wishing you & yours 

love & light & happiness in creating ~
