Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to this!

I think my favorite is hand embroidery, whether it be counted cross-stitch or good old-fashioned crewel work. One of the very first things we hung on the walls in our fixer-upper house as newlyweds was a project I finished before our first anniversary!

I started out doing embroidery on linen to have something to frame and put up on the walls for our fist fixer-upper! I graduated to counted cross stitch and crewel pillows, and am getting back to embroidery, but this time on clothes (hopefully children's, as my mom did on ours!). It's so relaxing, and definitely a way of getting instant gratification!
