So what do Penny Nickels, Beefranck, kootoyoo, Follow the White Bunny, and Incy wincy stitches all have in common? (And possibly, a couple more mystery peeps)

Maybe you better stick around for next week to find out? Hmmmmm.....? :)

Craft Hope for Haiti

Craft Hope for Haiti

Please forgive me as I always tend to be late to the party on these things, but I didn't want to neglect to mention a wonderful Etsy store (you probably already know about), Craft Hope for Haiti. I clicked over to their site to read more about them and I was once again inspired and floored by the power of the internet. I know that people worldwide have been moved by the tragedy in Haiti, but the idea that 2 moms, working from home could raise over 20,000 dollars for Haiti in a matter of days, in an Etsy store, just amazes me. To me, it speaks to the amazing generosity and kindness of the crafting world.


Please take a look at their store and use your crafty dollars to help those in Haiti that are hurting.

Gorgeous stitch sampler

Stitched by Lisa's Tea Time

I just love the amazing variety of lines, colors, and textures on this. I'm also really impressed when people embroider anything freehand on Aida cloth - for some reason I find the large weave intimidating for freehand work... Bravo, Lisa!

Love it! This proves that a minimum of lines and just one color can be quite impressive.

Embroidered boots

i embroidered my boots
Stitched by Veronica TM

Isn't this a great idea? I'm also loving these embroidered boots, too. I see lots of sad winter boots when I'm riding the subway this frigid winter, and a little pop of color like this would make me really happy. Bravo Veronica! :)


Have you embroidered your boots? Be sure to add a picture in the Embroidery pool!
