In which I mumble....

 If you're here for the 'Grow Your Blog' party, my post is HERE. 

Today I don't have any pictures of roses for you.  I apologize.  I let mundane things like running errands, eating, sleeping and general life get in the way of my stitching.  I will try to do better.  I promise.

So...instead of pictures of my work, how about I send you to look at other things I've found intriguing about the internet world?

- I found an interesting site that will print your blog into a book format at a very reasonable cost.  I don't know about you, but I've often wondered what would happen if my blog suddenly disappeared into the ozone layer never to be seen again.  Just think of all the pictures that would be lost.  The record of my work.  The memories.  This might be worth thinking about and you can find information HERE. 

- For those of you that live in Canada and are looking for embroidery books to add to your library you might find THIS place interesting.  She seems to carry some obscure titles that might be difficult to get elsewhere.  I'm not sure how her prices compare to places like Amazon though.

- There's a wonderful fabric collage tutorial over on Carolyn Saxby's blog HERE.  She uses things that most of us already have in our stash.  While you're visiting her blog be sure to check out her other posts.  Her work reflects the area she lives in and it's incredibly beautiful.

- Pam Kellogg has written an interesting post about the pros and cons of using hoops, frames or stitching in your hand HERE. 

Today's quote is from Andy Rooney.... "Computers make it easy to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do, don't need to be done"
