adventures in embroidery

So, I've been feeling like my creativity is... well, stifled isn't exactly the right word. I feel like I've put my creativity in a box because I'm too busy to find a place for it, and the box is slowly making its way up the stairs and is almost in the attic, where it will no doubt come to rest and begin collecting dust. I've been working on some embroidery for a while and I think I'm going to finish it or come very close to finishing it tonight. I also have a lot of yarn and need to crochet a few more squares for a quilt. I'm not going to make the quilt, I'm just making the squares. My mom works with a girl who is going to crochet them together, so I'm going to be helping out the homeless, rediscover some creativity (or at least, some artistic motivation) and get rid of my extra yarn. I'm killing three birds with one stone. So that's good.
