My Bio
My name is Miranda but I mostly go by Randi or butthead jr. I am close to my mid 30's and a crazy and addicted jack of all trades it seems. I know a total of 13 different crafts, I however do not practice them all having lost interest in some of them after the novelty wore off. But I do stand fast with what i call my "stitches" crafts. All my crafts that do some sort of stitch either by my hand or by that of my Pfaff Creative Sensations are the crafts I really enjoy the most.

I am a hobbyist as I have yet to find something that i can make that will sell at all but you know what they say if life knocks you down get right back up and keep trying. I mostly quilt, machine embroider, sew, cross stitch, latch hook, knit, and crochet. My current main interest is cross stitch, embroidery, and some quilting and sewing.

I watching or listen to my kindle fire as I work. I prefer movies from the 90's or before with some from the 2000's being ok.. Same with my country music. I also enjoy listening to Wrestler's entrance music. I like reading but do it infrequently because of adult ADD and trying to sit still even tho I manage to sit still while crafting.

I work on things that are fun or interesting as well as trying to make gifts for people throughout the year. I a masters in Health Informatic with my undergrads being in web design and software engineering.

I use both a Pfaff sewing and embroidery machines that are hand me downs from my mother. Both are great work horses withing my Sewing Machine being a Classic Quilt Style 2027 and then my Sewing/Quilting/Embroidery Machine is the Creative Sensations. I recently sold my Brother PE 770 after being given the CS.

I am always crafting when I am not at work. Crafting is my therapy and helps me deal with the 6-7 mental disorders I have been living with since I was 5..... I also create things to give to a local thirft store that uses their profits to support The Center for Life Enrichment, which is a local organization that supports people with mental and developmental disorders.

I have 2 small dogs and then there are two of my parents cats whom think they belong to me too, but that is just what they thing, not the truth. I also love Star Wars, Pokemon, Middle Earth Universe and playing pokemon games. I also occasionally play Mario games and kill it at mario kart.

I have added 4 new patterns I have created and will be putting up for sale in June when I get ready to open my old esty shop back up. The pictures I added where scanned models of the patterns I stitched. I stitch everything before I put it in my word doc pattern template to send to my BFF so she can format the doc. I am once again trying to put myself out there and sell my stuff. This time it will just be cross stitch designs however. I have so many ideas in my head and they need to be born. So I renamed my E shop and will be selling the designs and maybe once or twice a year the models if i do not gift them.

I had long forgotten about this account till I went looking for something. How sad is that? Well anyways I am back and will be posting my cross stitch goodies on here. I design cards, biscornu's, and anything else I can think of these days which has been a wedding announcement as well with a baby birth record to soon follow once my friend gives me a theme. I recently invested in some filament silks and spun silks from Fiberlicious for card making and for stitching a mandala. I also got a filament silk pack for a wedding announce I created and I am just waiting for the fabrics from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie I am going to try designing mo
