In my world C is surely for Cross Stitch. Next week will be Crafts.
This is a very fun week for me, I don't cross stitch as much as I use to, but I am still designing. I usually have candles lit on my mantle, sit in my chair and watch TV at the same time as stitching or listen to books on tape. I have a deep calling to design Wiccan/Pagan designs and as you will see at the end I have a few lol The biggest issue is, there isn't a distributor for these designs probably because of the stigma of the 'Craft'. I feel a deep connection to the God and Goddess when I am designing, it is like they are pushing me on to do more, it is a wonderful feeling! I learned in a stone reading that in several of my past lives I was a teacher of crafts both Pagan and main stream, I just thought I was following my Mother, Father and Grandmothers. When I am stitching I do say many prayers over the piece especially if it is a gift for someone or if it is something I am going to hang in my home. From picking the fabric the tread colours to putting in each stitch I am putting my intentions into the piece and of course this is a type of witchcraft in it's basic form. Here are some pictures of my designs, I will show you the stitched pieces first followed by the too be stitched. I hope you enjoy, BB

This is beautiful! I wish I could to something as nice as this, but all I keep achieving is sticking the needle into my fingers ;-)
I love the triple goddess and the goddess within...marvelous work deary!
As above, so below. Love it!
I would *L*O*V*E* the chart for "A Dash of Magick" ... and perhaps a few others someday, too. How might I go about obtaining it/them?
Have you considered being in or already been in the Online Needlework Show? I've seen pagan needlework designers work there in the past (maybe you could even share a booth with another pagan designer). Also, I know Stitches'N'Things in Michigan isn't afraid to carry pagan charts; I've long wondered if the owner might even lean our way.
