Craft and Book with Vicki
I have a friend who does estate sales and early on in her career, she invited me to stop by one. I did and I found Christmas crewel kits for $2.00. I loved them. They were funky things from the seventies, perhaps the sixties. Didn't matter because they spoke to me. Crewel is very similar to embroidery, something I had been doing since age nine when my grandmother set me down with a pillowcase she had stamped, thread, and a needle.
But eBay and ETSY had the whole series of holiday crewel works and a large picture one. I bought them.
Today, I picked up the last two in the series, Love and Noel.
I did add my own bits to the work, like beads, sequins and some stitches. The finisher at the needlepoint store I frequent made the pillows. I get teary eyed when I see things I've done made better.
And speaking of the holidays, did you pick up your ecopy of Season of Promises for a mere 99cents? Amazon iTunes B&N
Now that the holidays are over, are you taking on new craft projects?

Every year, as soon as the Holidays are over, I start thinking about Spring and Baseball (smile!). Love your crafts and admire your talent!
