About Me

My photo
Jan
First of all, I am a mother and grandmother, lover and follower of God and I hope a good friend to many! I am in my 3rd year of designing, under the name Tree of Life Samplings. My desire is to create samplers and other cross stitch designs, that you will truly enjoy stitching. I certainly enjoy designing them. I also started dyeing linens in 2011, and I wish I had more hands, but all is fun! One thing I have learned in my 'years', is that one should never lose sight of their dreams, no matter how old you are! This is my dream, to be a cross stitch designer and these are the pages that will be for sharing...tidbits here and there, new releases, and sneak peeks! So be sure and follow and I hope you enjoy your visits here!
