First off, Kim posted a question about the table-top sewing frames that could be seen in a couple of the photos from the retreat post. Miss J sent me a the answer: "My sister and I have a ELAN from Artisan design, inc. .... we really like ours." You can go and check out the selection at the Artican web-site here.
So, I pretty much know now that I am a stitcher for life! I love it! Stitching has been my companion for a couple of decades, life has changed around me and inside myself, places and people have come, gone, changed - but the linen, the needle and the floss have always been there. So I am dedicated, right? Well, there are people out there that take their dedication to their stitching and their craft to a whole other level. Since I am totally dedicated to photos and would marry Google's Image Search Engine if I only could, here are some browsie-finds to share with you; needle craft tattoos!

Speaking of tattoos, if I had an extra $250 laying around waiting to get spent, I would invest in one of these tattooed super-cuties! They are sewn by Mimi Kirchner and you can see more of her fresh stuff on Etsy! (I am also very much in love with her wool baby-dolls!)
Have a great night and hope you get time to stitch some!
