I'd love for you to learn with me! Every once in a while I'll update a few posts with easy practice projects and links to amazing artists and tutorials.
If ever you want a fun little hobby to pick up that isn't too expensive, this one sure is fun.
I love doing embroidery, thats actually one thing I can do. If I was nearby I would help you. Good luck, and I bet you will be awesome before long.
