Due to some technical difficulties, I wasn’t able to actually post this post until today. I’ve been a having a good deal of trouble getting posts to post lately, and I suspect that it may be because I updated WordPress without updating my plugins. Does anyone know if this could be the case? To that end, let’s finish up February
My lovely friend Gordita pointed out this genius idea for doing embroidery with kids, using dollar store shelf liner. http://www.filthwizardry.com/2010/02/sewing-and-embroidery-for-kids-with.html Very cute!
This led me to this post, by The Artist Woman, on embroidery with kids. http://thatartistwoman.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-do-embroidery-with-kids.html. I love this idea of letting a kid draw their own pattern. What an incredible heirloom that could make!
On an embroidery note, thought not necessarily a kid-related not, Carina at Carin’a Craftblog has some free embroidery patterns up. http://carinascraftblog.wardi.dk/p/free-patterns.html including the gorgeous Fruity Segments you can see here.

Ah… yup, plugins are very often the culprit when a WP upgrade causes issues. One good technique is, when problems occur, deactivate your plugins one by one and try posting (or whatever is broken) again. You’ll soon find the plugins that need attention.
