Showing my creative side - some of my finished pieces.
I've been stitching for quite some time - my earliest memory going back to when I was about 6 or 7. Love the craft (it's one of many I participate in!), as it relaxes me and keeps my creative side busy. I create custom patterns, find ones I love on etsy and Spritestitch, or find kits in my local craft store. I make for myself, and often for friends.

I collect patterns I find on the internet, but if you'd like me to share any feel free to let me know, and I'll see if I can dig it up for you. :)

Craft beer uses 4 times as much barley as corporate brew
For decades, US beer lovers have denounced corporate-made brew as watered-down swill. Just how diluted is the product peddled by the two enormous dinosaurs that dodder over the US beer market, InBev (maker of Bud) and MillerCoors? In a delicious new report, the US Department of Agriculture has numbers. Most beers, industrial or craft, get their substance—what experts call body, or mouth feel, as well as any sweet and toasty flavors—from malted barley.
