I've been trying to find the words to tell my story. My youngest daughter is getting a divorce. That's not the hard part. The hard part is saying that she has been emotionally neglected and abused for the last few years and didn't want us to know.

Late last night, I came across a design of the newest verse of "Amazing Grace." It was the words "my chains are gone, I've been set free. My God my savior has ransomed me. And like a flood, His mercy rains, unending love, amazing grace." Of cou

Moral dilemma--I was looking on Etsy for some inspiration when I ran across an embroidery site that blatantly is violating copyright. At first, there were designs called Mr. Mouse, etc., but then this site had designs openly named Mickey Mouse, Princess

Have any of you tried the Embroidery Fonts Plus free software for lettering? I want to embroider a Bible verse, and ran across this. Is it worth the effort?

Just a funny to share--I always bring my hoops and fabric and stabilizer, etc. to my living room to hoop. I sit in the floor and do my marking, etc. (I'm at that age where I need to stay limber and this helps) Well, today I was "floating" a rich pl

I just need to vent--I visited an embroidery site that I haven't gone to in months and months. Honestly, I was having a pity party for myself and I thought I would look at designs and perhaps buy one and cheer up. Well, the sets are $49!!! Who can buy

My church is having its annual fall fest towards the end of next month. Part of it is a silent auction of handmade items, with the proceeds all going to our building fund. One year I embroidered and then framed the Serenity Prayer, and also the prayer o

I know that I've probably bored you to death with info about my granddaughter, but this photo really sums her up. Her little pool is dry, and she still insists on playing with/in it! She definitely marches to her own drummer! Strong-willed is her styl

This may be a silly question, but when you make a fringed design, what keeps those threads from pulling out?

Why do some of these embroidery sites charge so much for their designs? Why would I pay $15 for an in the hoop design of a basic zipper bag plus the zipper and fabric and any other needed supply? It seems like some of these stores are pricing themselves

I need suggestions for a gift. A former coworker drove me an hour away for me to have a daith piercing done in my ear that could possibly help these daily migraines. We were under a time crunch with other obligations, so I didn't get a chance to pay fo

I've just bought the dollhouse design from Kris Rhoades, and I'm excited and scared to try it. Have any of you tried it? This is the site that had the lovely quote about copyright on it.

I don't know if this has ever been posted before, but this really hit the nail on the head about copyrights. When you buy from an independent artist you are buying more than just a painting or a novel or a song. You are buying hundreds of hours
