Greetings!

My name is Kim, am 56 years old and just joined RAK.  I'm so excited about being part of this wonderful group.  I have a blog (wisdomewithneedleandthread@blogspot.com) and love to share my love for needlework with others.  I've just started to design my own patterns and post a free one once a month.  Over the past few months, I am completely overwhelmed at the generous, caring group of people stitchers are and am proud to be a part of this ever-so-small world.

I truly love doing RAKs for others.  I love miniatures, cross stitch, needlework, I paint miniatures on porcelain and LOVE Limoges boxes, dogs, horses, classic movies and John Wayne.....oh - and I must mention my wonderful husband - my soul mate.  He is amazing.  We live on a small farm in Iowa, raise our own organic beef, have an upper garden and a lower garden and orchard.   Our dogs  keep us entertained.  We have a Giant Schnauzer named Bella  (big, black and 85 pounds) - and a tea cup Schnauzer named Emma (tiny, white and 5 pounds).

My birthday is July 19th.  I'm looking forward to meeting you all and developing our friendships through cyber space.
