Are there any stitching activities you would like to try or learn more about?
One day I would love to try knitting but ummm 2 needles, crocheting with one just sounds easier lol.
Tell us a little about yourself:
Hi everyone, I am a stay at home wife with 2 grown sons and a beautiful granddaughter, plus my little shadow nokie my maltese ( he is always with me). I love crocheting anything.My mother taught me to crochet when I was about 10 years old and i was hooked lol. I have been crocheting ever since and still love it. I make alot of my own patterns up as I go and then sometimes forget to write the patterns down for later lol.I am always looking for something new to design and create. I also have just made my first quilt, so still learning there.When I am crocheting everything around me just disappears and for that time the stress of the day is far away.
Always remember
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is the present- that is why it is called a

The book is called Creative Embroidery Techniques using Colour Through Gold. Author is: Daphne J Ashby and Jackie Woolsey. I got it a couple of years ago. Great book for color theory and ideas. I used one of their patterns for the piece. I used my own choice of threads though. Hope this helps.
Welcome, Thank you for the kind words. It's not really hard, just one stitch, rhodes stitch, and couching. I could send you the title of the book I got it from. Gotta go to work. Later, Kate
