Our indoor lighting makes everything photographed appear to be nicotine-stained. It's kind of gross, actually. Sort of a psuedo-sepia. I gotta look into changing that at some point :P
Rob & I got into an argument a year or so ago & he told me I needed a hobby. I used to do embroidery when I was a kid, because my mother did embroidery. For me it was mostly small things - potholders, samplers, little fiddly details on pillowcases, that kind of thing. My mother would do full-on medieval-style tapestries. As I was sitting there, trying to imagine having a hobby, I remembered that at one point, embroidery was my hobby.
It's also fantastically cheap - for like $40 I got a butt-load of assorted floss (which still go for .25c per spool), a few hoops, a pack of needles, a needle threader (which I broke last night, dammit) & a stitch-puller. It's all been sitting in my drawer for about 9 months, but now that school isn't a concern I can indulge myself. I had gotten a beading kit on a whim, so the beads have been laying around for a couple of years, too. I don't know if I'll continue using beading after those are gone because beads, unlike floss, are expensive.
