Predominantly a fiber artist, I also bead and diamond paint. I enjoy most things of an artistic nature. I design some of my own cross stitch and Hardanger pieces and sell them as PDFs.

I have learned about a new cross-stitch markup app, Saga. It is a one-time paid program. It requires a special format to load files, which I have learned that I can create so that future patterns can be released with the extra file for this format, as well as the one for other markup apps.
