So why embroidery? It all started while placing the finishing touches on the studio over Christmas. I pulled out a pillow I'd embroidered a truck onto years ago. She was smitten, much like I am when a new skill is tickling my creative bones. So last weekend I broke down and taught...well rather gave her some tools and a fabulous book on embroidery. She's been stitching since. Yep. She's my girl. And I can hardly stand that she's making her BFF a cow stitched pattern she wants to make into a pillow for her birthday. A 10th B'day that is. Oh, and I should totally mention that she draws out all her own patterns. Man, I am bubbling over right now with joy.

My grandma taught me to cross-stitch when I was a girl. It was one of the greatest gifts I remember from Grandma Slack. Thank you for reminding me that I should teach my daughter. You have a beautiful site that I look forward to exploring more of.
