Does anyone here embroider? I used to about 20 years ago and have forgotten some of the fancier stitches. I found some gorgeous patterns on UrbanThreads and am dying to try them out!!

I can, but it has been years. These days you can simply google a stitch and there are you tube videos that show you how. It is a wonderful thing!

Now off to look up Urban Threads!

Me! It's not something I do on a regular basis, but I do embroider. I will have to check out Urban Threads, too!

Going to work on some crafty projects later tonight while I'm on an overseas conference call for work.

I found a great little scan that shows a bunch of easy embroidery stitches:

AACK! I need like 6 more hours in each day to get everything done that I want to get done!

Working on some sewing projects and a little painting project lately. I have made some major headway in my office as far as cutting loose a bunch of crap that was just taking up space. I've decided that for most of my craft supplies, I either need to DO the projects this year or it's getting rehomed.

Talk about motivation! LOL!

Annnnnd here I am a couple of months later having made good on my promise on some level!

I have "rehomed" several items from the craft room/office and have some actual projects in the works. Joining the Penpal thread was an awesome motivation to actually DO projects and has helped me with ideas on how to use some of the treasures I had crammed in various boxes.

Somewhere along the way I managed to sell a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff on eBay and get the closet cleared down to useable items
