Eryk and I went on a little roadtrip to Marfa, TX. A tiny town in west Texas that has an interesting artist/ hipster community... Not a lot to do there in January but it was nice to get away.
While there I found this shop called Wool and Hoop. The owner (and author of book below) was super sweet and very enthusiastic about crewel embroidery. So I got myself a little start kit and tried it out...
My first attempt at crewel embroidery... I liked doing it and Im sure Ill make a straight line with some practice. Katherine's work is much more impressive so you should check her and also see the amazing selection she has for sale online. 
On the way home we caught this guy (squirrel at the bottom corner of the brown quilt, he wasnt keen on a closeup or mug shot ;)...) stealing batting out of a quilt. Guess quilt batting make for a pretty good nest insulter.
