'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good...'

I know you're probably just sitting around this afternoon, idly clicking through page after page of the internet, wishing that something exciting would happen. (The good kind of exciting, not the "Oh my stars, the cat got ahold of my flamethrower!" kind of exciting. No one wants to see that.)

Alas, I can hear you say, If only I had something mildly engaging and creative to do...

Well! Here is a link to something fun. All you need is a needle and thread, and a square of evenweave cloth, and you can learn all kinds of new embroidery stitches! Next thing you know, you'll be embellishing your jeans or that linen blouse you picked up on sale. All your friends will ask where you are getting these cute new clothes, and will be so impressed when you lower your eyes modestly and tell them it is the work of your own clever hands!

  1. Si I got the "kinds of stitch" page you had the link to and there is no "Crown Of Thorns" stitch. I was disappointed.

  2. I mis-spoke. It's called "Rosette of Thorns" http://inaminuteago.com/stitchdict/stitch/button-rosette.html
