Bienvenue!

Wow, it has been a long time. As you can probably tell by my proper capitalization (I have no idea why my cell phone capitalizes everything I type…) that I finally have internet set up in my new apartment.

I don’t really have a deep and poignant post planned for today, just wanted to get on and say that I am back and everything is fine. Sans internet I have been delving deeper into needlework. Yes, i realize that I am a pansy girl. I got a package from my Grandma filled with old embroidery floss and books. Much of it was given to her by her grandmother. They smell of a library. When I work with them I feel like I am connected to my ancestors. I think about if they got frustrated with knots and if they ever wanted to throw their project out the window and never think about it again. I think about how they felt when they were doing the finishing touches on a design. Were they as silly and giddy as me when they stitched their last stitch? Did they run immediately to go show anyone who would look what they had created?

I think they did. I’m pretty sure it’s universal.

I even got Hubby to start a tiny pineapple project. His stitches are very good. He says he has no small motor skills, but he lies.
