Hope you enjoy getting to know her as much as I enjoyed catching up!

Erika learned to cross-stitch for the first time in 2018 and since then she’s created dozens – if not over a hundred – different cross-stitched portraits and projects. She is absolutely fearless in the designs she tackles and the skills she picks up along the way. Living in Japan brings a daily adventure to her door and she rises to every occasion to learn something new or try her hand at an unknown craft or activity. A super woman, super mom, and super stitcher! You’re going to love this episode.

You’ll be so inspired by Karina’s brave choices, the way she embraces her authenticity, how she marries her culture of origin and culture of family, and how she balances stitching, her personal life, and her mental health.
