Are introductions in order?
Ok, Alice here with our duty stations.
Started out in Portland, Oregon as DH was in Dental school there. We got married the summer between second and third year of dental school. He was on one of two Army scholarships for dental school. He graduated from ROTC winning just about every award they gave away. What a show off! Then Brooks Army Medical Center, San Antonio, TX Sinop, Turkey Worms, West Germany Back to BAMC in San Antonio WRAMC (Walter Reed Army Medical Center) Washington, DC (this is where DH got his post doctoral MS in Periodontics) #1 son born here. Fort Sill, Oklahoma lived in Lawton Schofield Barracks, Wahiawa, Hawaii Fort Carson, Colorado Springs, Colorado And finally retired to Salt Lake City, Utah Not too bad for an Army family. All of our tours after DC were four years in length. Sorry, I do not have a web site. Can we put photos on the posts here? I had to ask since I have not been with this group very long. I have a couple digital photos of some things I have designed. I need to get photos of just about everything I have stitched that I still have in my possession. Just another of the things on the never ending list. lol Alice |

With the Navy detachment and there in the late 80's. Met my husband there, too. Tracey (1,000,000 inches from Russia) Hi Tracey, Yep, spent some time on the Hill. We were there in 1974 & 1975. I worked at the Education Center and my husband was the dentist on Post. We lived in town down on the street to the east of the Yenni Hotel. Looked right out onto the bay. We were there when the Turks closed everything down. It was an interesting time. Sounds like you were active duty when you were there. That is where I found out that the Navy folks drink more coffee than the Army. lol We really enjoyed being there. Alice ( Sinop, not quite the end of the earth but, you can see it from there.) |

I'd list where I'd lived & been stationed over the years, but I think I'd
run out of room. By the time I was 21 I'd lived in 13 different states & 2 countries. I'm now on state #14. I've been East Coast, West Coast, Hawaii, Gulf Coast, & Germany. The only states I've never been in is Alaska - but my father's been there & to the North Pole (unfortunately, no Santa photos though, although he has a great one of a Polar Bear chasing the ship!). The hazards of growing up in the military. --cocoa wrote in message ups.com... I joined the group in October and have been posting since I discovered this great group. I see some of you post daily and others come in when they can. I thought it might be nice for those of us who are newer to the group to get to know the rest of you. I saw another newbie on the threads the other day so I don't think I am the only one wondering who is here and such. I will start since this was my bright idea. Name: Alice I live in: Salt Lake City, Utah How long I have been stitching: Well when living in Turkey I had my DM send me some needlepoint kits since I had read every book in the library that I wanted to read. (I was with my USArmy husband and one of the few women there.) When we got back Stateside I tried a class in quilting but lasted until I made a new friend who did Danish Cross Stitch. That was 26 years ago. Been stitching ever since. Groups I belong to: EGA - I live in the Rocky Mountain Region Swan Sampler Stitchers (home nest is in Salt Lake City but, members from all over the world.) More of possible interest: I have done some designing for EGA and Swans as well as for myself. I have entered items in our State Fair for about four years. The first entry was one of my designs based on a view of the Pacific Ocean just south of Monterey, CA and I won First place. I have entered ever since with my lowest showing a Forth place. Family: Great husband and two sons ages 25 and 23 and a soon to be daughter-in-law (as of December 29). Hope to get to know all of you. Alice |

Wow -- a lot of military families (as someone has already mentioned).
A belated Veteran's Day thank you! (My father is retired Navy; I'm a civilian for DOD. Experienced some of the govt moves as well, usually sponsored by the Army. I like the part about getting paid to travel!) Home base is in the Washington, DC area and am currently working right outside of Baltimore, living in southcentral Pennsylvania near Gettysburg. Lived in the UK for three years -- noticed some of our British friends on this board! (I *loved* England.) Oh, yes, needlework..... I haven't been doing a lot of stitching; rather, I'm trying to adopt some of the patterns/methods in rughooking. So I pop on the board every now and then to see what's going on. I really want to try one of Elian McCready or Kaffe Fassett designs on a rug -- love the UK designers. Also love Claire Murray....but also like the traditional American designs as well (folk art).

I was raised a Navy Brat, joined the Navy, married a Navy corpsman, and
raised 3 Navy brats, one who has now joined the navy as well. Went to 3 different first grades and moved 11 times in ten years (1974-1984). I'm Bobbie Viorritto, in Manchester NH. and I have lived up and down the East coast and California. The only overseas I did was Argentia Newfoundland. I'm married 31 years to DH Tony, and have 3 children, Chris USN and in Japan with his wife, Ayako, and my grandson, Kaito. DS Erick is in Va with his wife Irene and finishing his last year of med school. DD Sarah shares my birthday and is living at home and paying of her student loans. I have been a Navy Hospital Corpsman, bus driver, bridal consultant, and presently work as a bridal alterationist AKA a wedding gown wrestler. I have been stitching most of my life and love hardanger, cross stitch, temari, and samplers. much of my finished work is posted at http:/photos.yahoo.com/bobbieviorritto DD Sarah, Ayako, and several nieces all stitch as well. I have SABLE 3 times over and many WIP. I usually do most of my stitching Nov - March as I work part time. The bridal season in this area is Mar thru end of October and I work overtime +++++. I also love to read, bake (my shortbread has had raves and I collect ceramic shortbread molds), have a large group of friends and recently have been in touch with some of my old boot camp friends. I have Fibromyalgia and that often limits what I want to do, but I have learn to be gentle with myself and not worry so much about what I am not able to do.

(We owned a landscape company and went through a phase where a series of landlords repeatedly sold the house out from under us as soon as we had prettied up the yard.) That's a heartbreaker. We've always moved into houses where no previous occupant had cared about plants. I'd come in and start experimenting with plants right away. But I knew I'd be leaving in 1 or 2 years so I never spent a lot of money. Donna in Virginia |

My name is Anne. I'm a native NewYawker but followed my ex-husband, the
engineer, as he moved from job to job and place to place. I've been in Knoxville, TN for many, many years and stay here because my 2 adult kids and 1 1/2 grandkids live near by. The 1/2 is a four year old boy who came along for the ride when his mom married my son. I'd consider him a whole grandkid if I saw him more sigh I began stitching crewel and rug hooking kits eons ago. I was a single mom who delighted in being involved as much as possible in my children's activities. I was a soccer mom before the s&m were capitalized ;-) I returned to stitching after being laid off in 2002 when our president shut down the alternative fuels research program for which I provided information support. I quickly tired of the kits that were available locally and on Ebay. I've tried cross stitching and blackwork but found that I am 'dyslexic' when it comes to remembering the count I've seen on the chart when the needle and thread touch the fabric. I really like dimensional and textured embroidery or needlepoint. Paraphrasing President Kennedy, "ich bin ein embellisher" IOW, I have the best time tarting up fabric that was designed for something other than embroidery or converting xs or needlepoint patterns via computer to pictures that I can transfer to fabric and then doing my thing. -- another Anne, add ingers to frugalf to reply |
