Crafts

Around 1975 or so I was in London, and went to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Great place. All of you who read this who haven't been there yet, put it at the very top of your bucket list.

What impressed me the most was seeing some of the most amazing embroidery I've ever seen in my life, truly museum worthy (unlike my pitiful work, which is fortunately appreciated by the recipients). And they weren't finished. Nope. It was obvious to the most casual observer that these had been abandoned about three-quarters of the way through, and it gave me great solace to know that even the very best of needlewomen could not get all of their projects completed.
