My name is Hélène Lenoir, I'm 29, a bioengineer and in my free time (when I have some) I like watching stupid TV dramas while cross-stitching.
Because BEST COMBINATION EVER.
You know when it's Sunday, and it's 16:15, and you have spent all your day in your PJs, and the seventh episode of your favorite show (of the moment) is playing, and your conscience tells you : "You could be doing something meaningful with your life, you know" and you just tell it : "Oh, shut the f*** up" ?
Yeah. You know.
Well, I started cross-stitching at the same time because :
1. It's fun. It's vintage pixel art.
2. I actually create and make something.
3. My friends and my family (hi guys !) congratulate me on my craft
4. I can watch semi-interesting shows without being semi-bored because I'm semi-occupied doing something else ; FOR HOURS.
See ? Totally winning.
So OK, I sometimes do others things in my life, but I want to share my work. Some people create amazing artworks with needles and threads. Cross-stitching is not a grandma-only hobby. Hope you will enjoy some of these posts. =)
See you soon !
Hélène
