Heh, when I say needlepoint, I mean cross stitch kits. it's not that hard to learn how to sew X's. *grins* I wish _I_ could do some of the more complicated stitches - my grandmother could crochet doilies you'd die for. She showed me how, but I can only do a straight chain. I'm sure I could build off that someday.

my friend feline is the crafty super-woman - I'll ask her about books or resources. She can do pretty much anything.
