Hanging on by a thread.....

an embroidery thread that is!

I've been craving some needlework lately.
I think it's the books I've been reading:

It's part of a Cozy Mystery series by:



 While I always have something on my hook, 
I used to be just as busy with 
needlepoint, cross stitch and embroidery.
 That is until these old eyeballs started to go down hill!

But the Cozy Mysteries got me thinking that maybe with
 the magnifying light
the twins bought me last year I could stitch a bit again!

So, I pulled these out:


Yikes I have some mighty organizing to do!
This must be about 30 years worth of floss accumulation... 


In my stitching stash I came across these
squares and finished one and started a second:




There are a bunch more in the pile!

I bought them before we finished our family
thinking maybe I'd have a girl someday....
Now I'm going to make them up into a quilt for:
 ME !!!!

I'm the same -- used to cross-stitch all the time, but in the past few years, crochet has become so much easier and doesn't require reading glasses. I have about as much floss as you do -- all over the place. Yea for finishing a square! I hope to get some stitching and crocheting done over our 3-day weekend. Best wishes, Tammy
