Embroidery Update

I am absolutely determined to finish this project. No, really. I will completely finish ONE embroidery project (says the gal who has 4-or was it 5? unfinished embroidery projects kicking around.)

I'm never picking up embroidery again, ever. (Or at least until I start on my slips project, that is....)

Ok, to the pictures.


I am really getting the bug to sew again, but I'm afraid if I put the embroidery down, I won't pick it back up again. But I don't want to wait months and months before I can make anything new. Argh. Not enough time in my little world right now. Where's my dang lotto money?!

Informative post is....informative!

I've been interested in astrolabes for a long time (and not just because it's a really cool word!) and a couple of years ago, I started gathering up as much information I could find. By complete happenstance, I stumbled across this video which shows *exactly* how to use one! (I kind of knew the theory behind it all, but I wouldn't be able to put it into practice)

Enjoy!
