First post on blog!

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on my new blog.  I am a first time blogger so please be kind!  I did intend to add some photos of my stitching - I thought that I would show a finished piece and then something that I am working on but the camera battery is dead!  Next time I will try to be more organised.

I have been knitting, stitching and quilting for probably over 40 years now. Wow, that does make me seem old.  But I did start fairly young.  Despite nearly failing needlework in Year 7 at school I have actually gone onto develop a passion for craft.  At the moment I am really back into cross stitch but as a teenager and in my early 20s I knitted like a crazy woman.  Then it was cross stitch and long stitch, sewing (when the children were little) and then quilting and lastly, at the moment, as I said cross stitch again.

I also love to read, love history and love to travel.  So, I intend to post about those elements of my life on my blog, too.  Cooking is a great pastime, too, although nightly meals do become a bit of a drag!  Lastly, I love my TV and films, so they will probably get a spot in the blog as well.  I hope that it doesn't become too crowded.

I have called my blog "Kitten Stitching" after the two family kittens: Furio (ginger, half-Tongkinese) and Milo (grey tabby) - both males.  Unfortunately, Milo seems to have gone walkabout at  the moment (for the first time) so we are all a bit anxious about him.  Will keep you posted as to when he comes back.  In the meantime, here is a picture of the two of them:
Fingers crossed that Milo comes home soon, safely.

Bye for now, Kaye xoxox
