What Have You Done Before

This is called "embroidery" I have several that I made when I was a young girl in school, the nuns obliged us to do this. I found one of mine yesterday and also a matching apron, both never used. In the 80's and 90's I was too busy working with my husband, no time for crafting.

I think this is what we call embroidery. I used to do lots of needle crafts, and paint, and read. I need to get back to some of that.

That's a nice tablecloth. I used to do cross-stitching.

That is embroidery, right? I do cross stitching before

What a lovely tablecloth you stitched, it's beautiful! I like to hand stitch, but haven't done it in a very long time. Embroidering is what we usually called it.

That's lovely. I used to do a lot of needlework -- needlepoint, petitpoint, embroidery...and I remember WRITING a lot of letters before the internet.

Computers entered my life when I was in High School. And I was really addicted! Before that, we use to play outdoor and indoor games. Lots of friends in the colony. But today, these days are not seen around!

Beautiful work!

Your tablecloth is very pretty

You're not good only at baking; you're good at many crafts. You're a jack-of-all-trades, Ms. Thelma :) Your life will never be boring :)

This is actually an interesting question, since as much as I love the Internet for all of the things it allows me to do that I could not do before it. I spent more time actually writing. Something I still do, of course, in various ways. But not like I used to. I used to write my novels in spiral notebooks, entirely by hand, and would type the manuscripts with an old Smith Corona typewriter, do my edits... I was way more productive with such things back then because there were much fewer distractions. Nowadays there's YouTube and Facebook and of course MyLot. I guess it is what it is. Seems like you found other things to do as well before the Internet, and for all of its good, maybe there are more drawbacks to the advent of the Internet than plusses. Who knows? But even today I am so used to the Internet, it is hard to think of the world without it anymore. Sort of like life without my wife. She is so much a part of my world now that it is hard to imagine what life was like when she was not with me.

That's very nice!

Nah, Craft work was never my thing. I played a lot of sports when I was younger, Danced a lot, And went clubbing. Even when the internet first came along I didn't have it. Never went online until 2005

I'm not sure what's this call also. Embroidery?

Mainly watching tv and reading books for me.

With the different stitches it looks like embroidery to me. I have always enjoyed doing embroidery also.

My mother did a lot of these things. I've also got a tablecloth together with napkins with stitched ornaments.

pretty tablecloth. I was born in 1980. Before I had a computer, I was watching tv, reading books, and listening to the radio.

It's beautiful! Looks like it was done by a professional one!

it is very beautiful, i have a few projects like that - ones started but never finished.
