A brief history and some rad photos. em·broi·der·y /əmˈbroid(ə)rē/ 1. the art of creating and producing raised designs or motifs on woven fabrics, paper, or plastic and, in rare instances, on knitted fabrics. Like the 87 year old in all of us, embroidery is an old soul. The form of art appeared way back (waaaay back) in Cro-Magnon fossils dating back as early as 30,000 BCE. Embroidery later appeared in China in 3500 BCE, and then again during the Iron Age as early as 2500 BCE. Basically, embroidery is a stubborn old lady. A long, long time later (but still way waaaay back) in the 1500's, embroidery became popular in Europe, and then grew all over the world. In many cultures, the art was associated with wealth, because, you know, these hand-made things take time. In the 19th century the innovation of Berlin wool (like the adult version of color by numbers) allowed embroidery to gain popularity among the lower class and domestics. Because of its speed and cost, most of the embroidery you see today is machine made. In present day, embroidery is seen as a creative outlet and a form of expression. (not that humans weren't creative back then either). We love us some unusual, spectacular and just plain beautiful forms of expression. Find here some of our favorites and click through to find the amazingly cool artists behind each photograph (if they hadn't gone incognito). If you're a history buff or just can't get enough of embroidery, you can find more information here and here. Now go on, get your trendy, on-point (pun intended) embroidery on.

Olivia is a great stash-busting transition piece, more than a vest, but not quite a sweater. It’s an easy piece to layer thanks to the completely open sides above the waist ribbing. You can knit it with either the YO or Bobble pattern in the center panel. It begins at the top of the shoulder with a provisional cast-on,
One thing I would love to have in my house is live plants or better yet, fresh flowers, but with two kitties it's just not an option. So, I had to improvise... A bouquet of cat and kid friendly, all natural, homemade flowers. I found a video tutorial for these here. They were quick and easy to make - I simply fingerknitted the flowers and sewed them onto the branches from our wool tree. James loves these happy little flowers and spends several minutes every couple of days rearranging them, always making sure they're all facing forward. :) Just a couple of side notes: ::Big hugs and thanks for all of your Happy Birthday wishes to my newly 3 year old boy! We had such a wonderful weekend celebrating this very special occasion. ::Don't forget to enter my Mudpuppy Giveaway - the contest ends on tomorrow!
