I wish I had more time in my life to learn how to needlepoint and do embroidery.
I recently found these miniature shrines called “détentes.” Détente means “relax of strained relations or the easing of tensions.” They are found throughout Europe and Peru.

I think our next offsite for my office will be at Purl in Soho. We can learn how to needlepoint, do embroidery, and knit. So fun.
