Julie's Breast Cancer Fight

It has been over a year now since I was diagnosed with stage IIIa Breast Cancer.  My fight started in January of 2008.  Being only 40 years old when I was diagnosed and having an aggressive breast cancer, my doctor believed it was best to treat my cancer aggressively as well.  I had a mastectomy, chemo, radiation, Herceptin infusions and soon I will start taking a Osteoporosis drug called Zometa that has been shown to reduce the chance of a recurrence of breast cancer by 30%.  I am also taking it as a preventive measure to prevent osteoporosis.  Once you have had chemo it can effect your bones and many people are put into menopause at least temporarily by treatment, which also increases the likelihood you will have osteoporosis.  My doctor has given me a date for my last Herceptin infusion.   I only have 4 infusions left.  I will officially be done with cancer treatment in July.  I can't believe it.  When I was diagnosed and went to my oncologist the first time I remember how overwhelming the treatment plan was.  I had no idea it took years to treat breast cancer.  I will always have to go to the oncologist for check-ups for the rest of my life.  At first every 3 months, then every 6 months and finally once a year.  The good things that have come out of having cancer for me are an appreciation for my husband and children that most people can't understand.  I am also very proud of the strength I have found during treatment.  I have dealt with more in the last year then most people deal  with in a life time.  I am proud to say that I am a Breast Cancer Survivor!!

 Cross Stitch Tips

Choosing a Cross Stitch Pattern or Kit

          If this is your first cross stitch project, I suggest buying a small kit.  Kits come with all the necessary materials (fabric, floss, needle, etc.) other than a hoop.  Most kits also include some basic cross stitch instructions.  Kits come in varying degrees of difficulty.  There are even kits designed especially for kids and beginners by Dimensions and Permin.  Some of my favorite kits come from DimensionsPermin of CopenhagenEva Rosenstand and Heritage Stitchcraft.

          For more experienced cross stitchers, pick out your own pattern and fabric for a more unique piece.  There are many, many, many different cross stitch pattern designers to choose from.  Patterns come in varying degrees of difficulty, and are often labeled as such.

What's New at Julie's X Stitch?

Recently at Julie's x Stitch we added a new line of Hand dyed fabrics from a company based in the United States.  Picture this Plus.  The fabric is great quality and the edges are surged.  It is a special order fabric, but it  generally ships in 3 weeks.   They also have a line of Opalescent fabrics called Crystal.  These are gorgeous fabrics.  Some of my favorites are hand dyed opalescent fabrics.
