TAST 2012

I've set a goal to focus creative energies for awhile, so I started poking around on the internet to see what was appealing, and came across something called Take a Stitch Tuesday 2012 (TAST). It's a sewing self-challenge to learn new embroidery stitches and use them creatively.

My mother taught me to sew when I was a young girl, starting with embroidery. Here's an opportunity to learn a new stitch every Tuesday, and exercise some creativity with it. And it reminds me of my mother, rest her soul. So TAST sounds appealing: a good fit - surely I could handle one stitch per week - an organized goal for the coming year. I already feel more focused.

If you're also looking for something interesting to do in needlework this coming year, you might check it out. It's open to everyone, and it's not a competition, except with yourself. Does that sound appealing to you?
