  3. I keep waiting for embroidery and crochet to come back into fashion. I buy these great pieces whenever I see them and try to use them in unusual ways. Just the thought of someone spending hours creating such beauty gives me the shivers....granny was cool, darnit!
    All of my pillowcases have crochet trims, just like the ones I grew up with.

    agnes, hi, thanks for stopping by! i think making something with our hands is good for us; it provides some kind of relaxation for the brain, even if you're focused.
