GROW YOUR BLOG 2014: If you want to know a little more about me....

So I decided to join Vicki at 2bagsfull this year for her 'Grow your blog' party. There are already over 500 bloggers signed up and will join the fun tomorrow (Fri 25th) by having a post at midnight of 24th (which is now, in my timezone). There will be some give-aways at some blogs. So if you can, please join and visit as many blogs as you can (click the badge at the top right corner of my blog).

The idea of this party, I guess, is to help people who have less followers increase their viewings and share their ideas to larger community - which is the MAIN reason why I'd love to join this meaningful party. 

I am a craft lover. A nature lover. A traveller. And a foodie.

I love small little beauties that I see at craft store and crave to make it myself. I especially love sewing and stitching. I began with small kits of Dimensions or Maia to larger advanced cross stitch project like Heaven and Earth Designs. My love for nature and landscape also affects what I am stitching, which mostly scenery. You can find my progresses and thoughts about it here on my blog. I update weekly.

Here are some of my stitching in progress:

Magic Fire by Esmira (Paine Free Crafts)

A little bit more about myself that people yet to know:

I was born and grown up in Vietnam, a Southeast Asian country. I studied in Japan and Singapore where I met my husband before we moved here to U.S, to learn and to chase our dreams. We move from places to places so we called ourselves the travelers. We are international couple, so sometimes we speak 4 different languages at the same time.

I love food which resulted in my fear of weighing and my effort to loose them. I love homemade bread. I love home-brew coffee. The perfect day for me is the day when I can munch bread, sip coffee while stitching. With a lot of sun shining through the window. As simple as that.

Here is my perfect day:

 Life is hard sometime but I feel blogging is a way for me to meditate. To get to know more beautiful friends. And to live a more meaningful life. I want to grow my blog, to achieve just that.

I love you all and thanks for reading this.
