Grow Your Blog (A Contest too!)

 
 
Hey there!  My name is Erin Raatjes and I blog!  Ha!  Well, I do a lot of other things too, but I also blog.  I am a wife, a mom, a daughter, a granddaughter, a baker, a needle arts designer, a follower of Jesus, a hard worker, a photographer, and work a full time job too!  What do I blog about?  Mostly food and my needle arts designs.  Mostly food – let’s be honest.  I love to have an outlet to share recipes and also to have somewhere to post a few pictures now and then.

My company name is Myrtle Grace Motifs. (www.myrtlegrace.com)  I design punch needle and cross stitch patterns for sale for the retail market.   I enjoy being able to design fun designs and then watching other people enjoy stitching or punching them just as I did. 

To follow Myrt (that’s what I call my alter ego) – there a bunch of places to do it:

    I thought I was the only person left who liked cross stitch :) I'm glad I'm not. Maybe I'll start sharing some of my work on my blog as well!
    Thanks for sharing!

    I've always liked your designs. Was so glad when I found some of them in cross stitch as well as punch needle.

    Hi Erin, I'm helping Vicki with the administration of this fun blog hop, so on her behalf welcome to the party. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did last year...I love food blogs so I'll be sure to stop by often.

      Erin, I forgot to say that you don't seem to have a link to Vicki's blog 2 bag's full anywhere in this post or your side bar. The badge doesn't lead anywhere. Would you be so kind as to link back to her please. Thanks!

    I'm always so impressed by cross stitch pattern designers. I really enjoy cross stitching but I definitely don't have the talent to create my own designs! I'm visiting from the grow your blog party. It's nice to meet you!

    Nice to meet you through this fun tour. I use cross stitch a lot in my crazy quilting and it's something I really enjoy. Can't do the large pieces anymore (unfortunately).

    Visiting from GYB, I used to do more cross stitch, but the patterns got smaller, LOL!! I do admire those who can do this kind of stitching.
