New to the blogger world

I have been doing cross stitch for many years now and am a big blog reader so I thought it was about time I started my own.
I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing in the world of blogger at the moment so please bear with me and feel free to give me suggestions on what I can do to improve the blog.

I am working mainly on 2 projects at the moment

Hannah charted by cottage needle crafts

and

The glow of life which is my first HAED

 I will post up some pics of my progress so far tomorrow
