l-o-v-e it. i think it is my favorite variety of craft. it's easy to do (sometimes!). it requires only a hoop, thread, fabric and needle. it's instant gratification, looking cool as soon as you start. and best of all, it's portable. for example, i started bringing little projects in the car with me when we go for drives longer than 20 minutes so i have something more to do than stare blankly out the window at the inland empire.
the other day i googled "princess and the pea" and came across this picture, thus discovering the feeling stitchy blog:

i want to teach myself and learn. awesome octopus! is that yours?? that is seriously crazy beautiful!!!
just checked out that rad blog - and saw the octopus.
question - when you embroider, do you pull the fabric within the hoop taut? or leave is loose a little? maybe i should buy a book...
