Know your Needleworker Tag

So I’ve been watching a lot of flosstubes lately and I’ve seen many of them with a “know your needleworker tag”. I’ve also visited many stitching bloggers and they are writing it on their blogs instead of recording it in a video. I’ve got to say that I am camera shy so I will be doing this tag here and now.

The questions I got from Amanda’s Stitching Space, Sewing Butterfly, Tricia – The Left-Hand Stitcher’s Realm of Randomness, and Young and Stitching.

Let’s get on the questions and answers:

1. Where do you live?

I currently live in New York.

2. What do you do for a living?

I am a school administrator at the moment.

3. What are your other hobbies other than cross stitching?

Besides cross stitching, I love making jewelry and writing. I would love to learn how to crochet and scrapbooking.

4. Do you have any kids?

Yes. I have a beautiful 15 year old daughter.

5. Do you have any pets? If so, what are their names?

I do have a cat. Her name is Manchis. I would love to have a dog; a teacup sized dog.

6. What is your favorite movie?

I have many. Dirty dancing, Armageddon, and Independence Day just to name a few.

7. What is your favorite TV Show?

Again, I have many. Friends, Two Broke Girls, Once Upon a Time, Castle… I can keep going.

8. What is your favorite music?

I love contemporary christian music.

9. What is your favorite book?

I love reading romantic fiction books. Including paranormal romance.

10. What is the 1 word that best describe you?

One word would be quiet.

11. What is your favorite food?

Food: italian. Snacks: cookies. Beverage: hot: coffee; cold: lemonade

12 Who inspired you to start this blog?

I’ve been visiting a lot of stitcher’s blog. I can’t write exactly who because they are so many. But I think the majority of my fellow stitchers are enablers.

13. Why didn’t you start a flosstube channel instead?

Well, I mentioned earlier that I am camera shy. Who knows, maybe later on I will gather up the courage and start one. In the meantime, I will write everything. I love writing anyways.

14. What made start to cross stitch?

Fifteen years ago, I was shopping at my local Walmart and saw this cute little cross stitch pattern which ended up to be a birth announcement. At that time, I was pregnant with my daughter. I bought it, started stitching it and never looked back.

15. What is your first piece you cross stitched?

It was a birth announcement which I stitched for my daughter.

16. How did you get your “aka” name?

Well, I’m latina. Originally from the Dominican Republic. I came to the U.S. when I was 13. I was trying to look for a name that would identify me; as a latina and as a stitcher. And so, latinstitcher was born.

Fun questions. Happy to answer them. As always, thanks for reading and happy stitching!
