Mostly simple, lovely designs of cute kittens, puppies, flowers, fruits, etc. It's not like the designs were the Mona Lisa. One of my biggest weaknesses creatively is drawing - I just didn't get that gene! Nonetheless, when I started thrifting hand embroidered vintage pieces, I thought to myself that it didn't look that hard. I've always been embroidery-curious in that it always looked really fun, but there seemed to be a lot of stitches to learn and a lot of people hand-drawing on their designs. It's something I've been trying to be more conscious about. I mean, when we're bored we're all guilty of turning to our phones or social media to entertain us. It's really fun because it takes your mind off things for a while and it feels really good to create something purely for the sake of creating it!

I also got some knitting needles and yarn for Christmas but that's for a different blog post. I've already learned how to crochet and sew so I decided my next venture will be embroidery. ![]() I thought to myself how wonderful the art of it is and how many women used to work on their stitching to pass time and sharpen their skills. I'm always interested in learning new hobbies and for Christmas this year I was so excited to receive an embroidery kit, a vintage embroidery pattern book, and some embroidery hoops! One of my favorite things to thrift last year was hand embroidered tea towels and pillowcases.
