Greetings Everybody!

 Hi everybody! My name is Emily Swisher, aka Emmy. Unless you are my coworker, then it's Em. There will be a whole cast of characters we will meet together later on, such as Fiona the Giant Flamingo, my critic. So, I guess this is the part where I introduce myself. Well, for starters, this is the first time I have ever even attempted writing on a blog, let alone starting my own blog. I have to give a huge shout out to Coni from Spinster Stitcher (which is a much better blog and funner*  read, might I add) for making this possible by guiding me through the whole how-to-start-a-blog concept. So, please bear with me as I attempt to figure this out. After all, we are talking about what is probably the only 20-something out there that only has a Facebook account (quite reluctantly, might I add) that I check once every few months  because a coworker made me let her set it up. Sooooo, yeah, technology and I are totally besties.....  not! I am single, love to read, stitch, and enjoy attempting to play the guitar much to my sister's cat's dismay. I am also a full time paramedic at a local ambulance service, which means that every third day I am away from home for at least 24 hours. Whether we are busy or not, will determine how many/often posts will appear on those days. Hopefully, there will be plenty of posts from work, lol :). I have a dog named Banjo, that is handsome, energetic, and loves to chase (he prefers guard) our lone chicken. I'll post a picture of him if I ever figure out how to. Basically, he is everything I am not. He also loves to play and attempts to get me to run daily, which never happens unless I'm trapped in a burning house with an angry bear and rabid skunk chasing me. Or a sale at Hobby Lobby during-which-everybody-that-has-ever-lived-and-their-dogs are at. Then its watch out Grandma, I'm headed to the stitching area! Well, I will try to write a more entertaining post later. Also, please know, my "n" and "b" keys stubbornly refuse to cooperate and do their jobs on my laptop, the turds. I tell ya, good help is so hard to find these days! I try to catch all the mistakes by copying and pasting from other areas. That said, if you see a weird new word, that just means that I either missed it, or created a new word. (See "funner" above.) So, everybody, thanks for putting up with my wordiness and please introduce yourselves in the comments section!
Happy Crafting,
Emmy

*Its a word- look it up. Actually, don't. I doubt that Miriam-Webster has listened to my ideas on what words should exist. ;)
