so in the last couple of months i have discovered twitch and all it's amazingness. twitch is a big community from all over the world where people video themselves live doing things. playing video games, cooking, drawing, cross stitching and so much more. there are big name people on there like Felicia Day but then there are every day people like me and you on there also.
the amazing thing is that i have found a cross stitching community on there. and i love it. from watching other people cross stitch on twitch i have learned so much more about cross stitching that i probably wouldn't have learned otherwise.
from watching a streamer by the name of Sirithre i have learned how to make cross stitch key chains and so much more! Sirithre was the first person i followed on twitch that was a cross stitcher. she's great to watch and she makes some really cool stuff. (for the record, she does stream other stuff like playing video games).
there are a ton of people who are on twitch that cross stitch. from watching their streams and chatting with the community, i have learned where to get supplies, how to do certain things and about local cross stitching/twitch communities.
overall i've found a community of cross stitchers that i didn't have before. cross stitching isn't as big as crochet or knitting. and so finding this community has really helped me. it's nice to know that there are other people out there who love cross stitching as much as i do. so check twitch out. go to twitch and then find the creative board and you will find cross stitchers in there. you will find other people who are doing other amazing things, don't get me wrong. but you will find cross stitchers too. and hey maybe you'll see me in group chat. my twitch handle is plantlamp. so if you see that name, make sure you say hi!

the great gaming romances
before i get into the list i will say this list comes from yahoo-news so take it with a grain of salt. also i haven't played most of these games so i don't know anything about the relationships. i just found it interesting that yahoo-news would list this and so i thought i would share.
-MARIO/PRINCESS PEACH -- For over 25 years, Mario has been saving Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser. Now that’s commitment.
-LINK / ZELDA -- Though the graphical treatments and narrative back stories seem to change from game to game, Link and Zelda were clearly meant to be together.
-PAC-MAN / MS. PAC-MAN -- We were all there to witness the beginning of this pill-chomping relationship, which kicked off with the iconic “They Meet” intermission scene in Ms. Pac Man.
- NATHAN DRAKE / ELENA FISHER (uncharted) -- Well-travelled adventurer Nathan Drake might have spent much of his life playing the field, but he’s got a soft spot for investigative reporter Elena Fisher.
- CLOUD / AERITH / TIFA (Final Fantasy VII) -- One love story wasn’t enough for Final Fantasy VII hero Cloud Strife, who recuperated from the stunning death of Aerith by finding love in childhood friend Tifa.
- DOM / MARIA (Gears of War 3) -- The tragic tale of Dominic and his wife Maria gave the unceasingly macho Gears of War trilogy more than a little heart.
- WANDERER / MONO (Shadow of the Colossus) -- What would you do to save the woman you love? If you were Shadow of the Colossus star Wanderer, you would kill 16 massive monsters, no questions asked.
- ALAN WAKE / ALICE (Alan Wake) -- Pity poor Alan Wake, who watched a nice, pleasant vacation turn into a disastrous trip through a nightmare. The only thing keeping the crazed writer sane? His love for his wife, who he was desperately trying to save.
- COMMANDER SHEPARD / LIARA (Mass Effect) -- One small step for man, one giant leap for interspecies romance. While players could choose who, exactly, Mass Effect’s Commander Shepard would romantically mingle with, his relationship with Asari researcher LIara T’Soni made headlines.
-MARIO/PRINCESS PEACH -- For over 25 years, Mario has been saving Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser. Now that’s commitment.
