stitching school

While at a local craft store Thursday night, I heard a very nice sounding person asking the clerk about cross stitch supplies from one isle away. The ever so clueless clerk had no idea how to help so being a over helpful southerner I butted in and gave a small re-direction to my friend Crystal. After a short conversation I realized she really wanted to learn about stitching and so I invited her to come over this morning to start her stitching addiction. (we always need more people in the cult) She spent about 2 hours learning the basics and took the chart and threads home to finish, She struggled abit with her vision and we decided she needed to get a light and magnifiers to help her work. I also introduced her to blogland to help her learn from others. This prevented my planned outing to the not so LNS but how much more stash can one collect. I had a weak moment on Tuesday and did a bit of Internet shopping. I'll post that haul as soon as it arrives. (hurry, hurry, hurry) Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day.

  7. "start her stitching addiction. (we always need more people in the cult)" Mwahahahahahaa!!! Yes yes!! If I ever see anyone in the stitching aisle at my craft stores, they're just looking to make friendship bracelets. :(
