My Tackle It Tuesday for this week is actually one that I have been working on kind of off and on over the last two weeks. I keep meaning to post about it, because it’s one of those things that I thought about tackling for ages, and am so pleased to have finally jumped right in!
For my birthday, Eric and the kids got me some things that I had been wanting from Amazon, and one of them was the Stitch-It Kit
I read through the booklet and loved that it came with everything that I needed to start. But, I didn’t actually start. I’m pretty visual, and so I needed another little push.
Well, finally as our Florida vacation neared its end, I put together what I had read in the book with some quality time in my Mom’s condo and her patient (albeit sometimes amusing) instruction, and I finally started learning embroidery!
I have been using one of the clothes that was in the kit that I randomly ironed six patterns on as my practice work. This has been so much fun! I’m so grateful to Eric and the kids for buying it for me, and for my Mom for taking the time to show me how to do it (and for letting me video her doing the stitches in case I forgot when she wasn’t available).
This was definitely my most fun tackle in quite some time! WooHoo! (And, seriously, do you know how fun it is to just throw my kit in my bag and grab it out when I have some free time? Way too fun!)
