This New Blog

This is my new crafting blog, which will focus mostly on embroidery, although there will perhaps be some other types of crafts popping up along the way.

Thanks to the hubbers for the great blog name — if it makes you snicker, as it did us, then you likely have a very good idea where the name came from ;-) .

I’m working on a personalized banner (EDITED: the water lily that is now my banner is a photo taken by the hubbers — how lucky am I to be married to such a wonderful nature photographer?!?!), and am still figuring out how to embed pictures with text in the way that I want, so bear with me while I tinker around!!

Below are some of my most recent embroidery projects. For more pictures of these projects, as well as pictures of my non-embroidery projects, check out my Flickr photostream.
