Hello and welcome to my freelancing blog. My name’s Christina and I make my living writing and editing. Maybe you’ve seen my work online?

When I am not writing…you’ll find me doing lots of things, mostly creative things, or things that involve the outdoors.

One thing I do nearly every day is cross-stitch. Occasionally, I interject my freelancing blog with little posts about my creative endeavors, including updates on stitching projects like this one.

Because creativity of any kind is important to all of us.

It keeps us sane, curious, and inspired! And no…it’s not just for little old ladies. Cross stitch is growing in popularity around the globe; people of all nationalities, ages, and genders!

I’m no cross-stitch designer, by any stretch, but I did design a cute cross pattern that looks really nice all stitched up.

I thought I’d give it away for any of my readers (or internet passers-by on my blog) who love stitching as much as I do.

Just click the link below for the instant (and FREE) download of the pattern, print…and you’re off!

That’s all for today. Now go…and live a creative life!
