A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded, "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?" "We're taking...

A woman whose talent and skill I admire almost always does her free style embroidery on a sandwich -- ground, thin batting, thin fabric backing. I thought I'd try that but I'm having a big problem -- I have to really, really, really work to get the needle through all the layers. I'm using no...

We have satellite TV and I love the range of show out there that are far more to my taste than the standard network fare.

The minister had just started his sermon. With his arms extended towards Heaven and a rapturous look on his face he said "Lord, without you we are but dust." He would have continued in the same vein but a small child who was listening intently leaned over towards her mother and in a loud...

I actually did some stitching tonight although that was not the plan. Husband and child are gone for a long weekend so good time to get a lot of projects tackled. Stripped and washed all the beds including pillows, comforters, and quilts. Those are all made up again except for the two biggest...

I just put the last stitches in my Just Nan pillow, which I started a year ago. It wasn't hard, but as always, something (or things) else got my attention, so it was in the UFO pile. I will finish another this week, and then allow myself to start a nice new design..the Bald Eagle, from RK...

In ancient times there was a community known as the Goodnu's. As all communities did in these times the Goodnu's lived right on the river bank for trading, transportation and sustenance. Water was almighty and worshipped as a God. One day there was a tremendous hurricane far out in the ocean....

I found someone has spilled something on a crewel pillow I stitched eons ago. It really looks like the corners have been dipped in some liquid. I'll bet that the "wool" is at least partly wool. I have Orvus a plenty. C

Hi Everyone, It is years since I have posted here, I thought I would take a look around again... I enjoy many styles of hand embroidery. Design a great day, Janet M. Davies - New Zealand http://www.jmddesigns.co.nz/

OK - I'm a'going to embarrass myself. I have this nasty habit of completing the stitching, even attaching the charms but of not making the piece into a (pillow, scissor fob, what ever). So, my resolution this year to to actually complete projects. So I have a little piece (with a ladybug) and...

So, finally, the now "stupid" Summer Garden Sampler from VS is done, practically. All but 2 little tiny backstitchs to go in. All the french knots done. But, when I went to put on the beads last night - none of the needles that fit the beads would handle the silk. So, after stripping several...

Anyone seen these yet? What do you think? http://www.plaidonline.com/productSearchResults.asp?keywords=hipstitch Reminds me a bit of the Linea stuff, but more "real"/less abstract - wonder if it will be any more successful? Linda
