Old times are new again.

Remember the crafts you did as a child, or the little skills your mom would try to teach you?  I was thinking about how my mother used to try to teach me embroidery.  We would have my friend Stephanie over and try to attempt it.  I would always forget how to do the different stitches, but ma would patiently repeat and repeat.  I have no idea where my little samples went.  Maybe they weren't that great.  But I remember them as being fabulous.  (they probably weren't) It's that whole rear view mirror mentality.  Things appear larger thank they are. Or closer.  Or better.

Anyway, I do remember getting to a certain point and thinking I doubt I'll do this again in life.  No point continuing.  Now I want to.  SEE?  This is why parents shouldn't allow their kids to just give up.  If I had kept up with it, I wouldn't be scrambling through Pinterest looking for embroidery videos.  By the way, did you know they had videos?  Dozens just on embroidery tutorials alone.  I love it there.  It's become my safe haven.  Having a bad day?  Go to the blissful world of Pinterest.  Yes, I've mentioned it before and just to warn you, I may again.  However, every time I go there, I find something new.    This week embroidery.  Maybe next week will be childhood songs.

No silly that's not mine.  Did you think I was that good?
