I've been dabbling with embroidery (hand, not machine, which I can't wrap my brain around) and enjoying it a lot. I did a good bit of crewel embroidery back when I was young, but stopped (abruptly as I recall) when my first son was born. Sharp needles and babies just didn't seem a good mix in my mind, as fumbly as I've always been.
So I took a crazy quilt class and loved it, dabbling in silk ribbon work. And I bought a couple books with lots and lots of stitches which I'm working on. And then I found this
Suffice to say this book is now winging its way to me and I'm so excited I could just scream. I'm finding that I like putting embroidery bits on little pieces of fabric and then attaching them to interesting things -- little boxes that I've started making, and little fabric books with fabric pages that I'm making and .... life has so many possibilities and I've just discovered one that captivates me.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'll post something when I have one good enough to post. Until then, I'm watching the mail with baited breath.
