The lamp is great too - I would have expected it to be lit with a candle so kudos for taking it into the 10th century! Love the directions comment. It does sound like a lot of work with the sorts of skills one doesn't usually associate with "girls".<br /><br />I tried so many different things in my teens and twenties. There was macrame (part of a college art class - not sure I kept anything from it), cross-stitch, needlepoint, bargello and embroidery - all went by the wayside once I got into quilting.
