My name is Ilia Liz.  It is my pleasure to open the doors of my family blog to all of you.

This blog is a place for us to share thoughts, ideas, experiences, and resources about family, as well as various forms of crafting.  We will be sharing inspirational stories covering general topics and recommendations regarding parenting and upbringing, relationships, faith, work, culture, education, crafts, and travel.  This will be based on our experiences and what proved to work for us.  Also, we will share our opinion with respect to products that we hope could be value in your own family environment.

As far as crafts is concerned, we are not experts nor do we intend to overwhelm you with a lot of information.  However, we enjoy embarking in simple hands-on type of crafts that involve sewing, knitting, cross-stitching, quilting, etc.  We will share our ideas on the tools we use, the projects we have done, and what we would like to do in the future.

In case you were curious, the “stitches” logo, with the strands, symbolizes for us the bond between faith and the various elements that affect the family.  This bond is rooted on our Catholic faith.  It has its foundation on the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance and courage (or fortitude).  Also it takes into consideration the three theological virtues of faith, hope and charity.

I hope that you find motivation, encouragement, and inspiration reading our blog.

Happy reading!

Ilia Liz
