bewitching stitching

I recently came across The Embroiderers' Guild of Victoria's Facebook page. So many gorgeous images. My grandmother taught me how to sew and embroider when I was pretty young, and off and on through the years I've worked on some pretty cool projects. These lovely pics have made me want to break out the needles and floss again.

knitting as a hobby in Florida may not be such a crazy idea after all

Today was brrr ... Luckily the cold weather is coinciding with a sweater project. And if I can get this one done, I have another cool pattern I just downloaded on the back burner ...
