i am going to learn how to cross stitch. hopefully. my good hitched friend, kathy is going to teach me while our children run around amok.

hopefully i'm not a lost cause. hopefully i can count. i got one that specifically says 'for beginners'. i hope they're not lying.

i've also been learning to crochet with thread and the tinniest hook you ever saw. it's slower and more complicated then i'm used to, but i'm definitely enjoying it. i've been making snowflake ornaments. i plan to sell them at my upcoming craft sale (sometime in october? maybe november? i should look into that) for like 2 or 3 bucks. they're super cute and i should take pictures of them. i'm even experimenting with adding beads into the crochet. that makes it even slower! but, i'm plugging along.
