@Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher

Cross stitcher, knitter, crocheter, newbie sewer (sewist?). Multicrafter extraordinaire! Have a YouTube channel I'll never not feel awkward about.

She/her, ND, reluctantly British, probably some other things I've forgotten to list.

Safe space, no politics boosting here.

Happy #WorldPostcardDay, folks!

I've drawn three from #Postcrossing (because I'm not made of money) and will have to pop down into town later to post them since our local "last" mail collection was at 9am.

Everyone else seems to have been much more organised and designed and printed special cards and arranged special postmarks...maybe next year I'll be more hardcore but for now this will do!

Oh. My. God. I DID IT!

First time pass, only one minor fault (you're allowed 15 so I'm quite proud of this). My examiner was so nice, but I was sure I failed so still can't quite believe it.

Massive, massive thanks to @nprofile1q... for being my supervising driver these last few months, poor bairn was more nervous than I was this morning! But we made it, it's over, and on the way home we bought cake so a great day all round πŸ‘οΈ

As promised, my newly arrived #postcard. It's #cheese.

Cheese, Gromit!

The sender decorated it with cool stamps and washi tape covering some of the interests on my profile, jigsaws and rollercoasters and crafts etc, and her message was lovely too.

Is it weird to think you and your #Postcrossing match would be friends irl? Cos we have cheese and knitting in common and tbh what more does a beautiful friendship need? πŸ˜…

I appreciate all the cards I've had so far, but it does feel extra special when someone matches the card to you so personally. Pride of place on the pegboard, here we come!

Today we were invited out to see Kath doing a proper guide walk in her harness and omg, she is so clever! We're super proud of our girl!

That's me tentatively figuring out where the kerb is, after she'd walked me to the edge and then stopped to alert me.

I had my eyes shut and could't see a thing, but she helped me navigate around bins and parked cars and was just generally amazing 😭

It's #MeMadeMay and I so cannot be bothered to get up and take a posed shot of myself, so here's "we've been out running the dog around a muddy field in the rain and it was freezing so now I'm wrapped up for the night".

Featuring my golden Lorelei Cardigan, which the Rav project page tells me is five years old but I remember wearing this to uni so it must be older than that. Maybe I made two and forgot?

I may be confused but I'm also very cosy.
