Welcome to my first-ever blog!

I’m Tina from the Government Documents, Data & Maps Department. I enjoy a few hobbies in my free time including (but not restricted to):

• reading fiction
• listening to music
• cross-stitching

Cross-stitching is something I find very soothing. It’s great for letting the mind relax and wander. It’s even better when it’s paired up with listening to music. I started cross-stitching 20 years ago this month so it seems fitting to post a video of a technique that caused me no end of grief in the beginning. If only they had YouTube around in the 80’s!
