That's what I've been doing with Nathan's projects from school, then I'm going to make them into a book. It's so hard to clean up your treasures, but I do feel better once I'm done.<br /><br />Love your stitching so far, it looks great.

Thank you for understanding my reluctance to part with sentimental items. My significant other is NOT as understanding, alas! He told me to TOSS OUT my old photos! Not happening. BUT, I was thinking .... A high quality (ie, FAST!) scanner might be the answer!!! I can just sit and pop photos through the scanner while watching TV, and store them all on discs or jump drives!!

They're originally from Ireland, hence his Irish name, Seamus (Irish form of James!) <br /><br />Check out Needle Delights Originals by Kathy Rees. Her canvas work charts are full of specialty stitches and step by step directions. I love all the various flosses she uses in her designs, too! Lots of fun to stitch! These colors are Bermuda Reef Watercolours, Blueberry Watercolours, and a Belle Soie soft blue-gray (I forget the color at the moment!) I still have LOTS of colors to use in this design! :-) Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807266704220985470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854076127114229977.post-47765635853098952142013-05-07T05:53:51.289-04:002013-05-07T05:53:51.289-04:00Yes organizing is a difficult task and the end res...Yes organizing is a difficult task and the end results so worth it!

I totally understand the reluctance to get rid of some of it and the knowledge that you can't keep everything - I face that every time I try to do something around my home! And don't you just love how fun canvas work is???? It won't take the place of your cross stitch, but it will tug at you more than you'll like sometimes!!!

I get into everything stitching, quilting, knitting, needlework and started collecting rug hooking supplies. It's just overwhelming.<br /><br />I love your canvas piece - I think that needlework like that is a lot of fun because of the different textures. I've done Jean Hilton's Glen Eagle and working on Tony Minervi's Stars for the New Millenium. It will never take the place of stitching but is a fun diversion.
