This is a great needle-weaving tutorial in case you are interested in trying this and do not know where to start.

The folks who brought you that tutorial also have a needle-weaving fan page starting on Facebook here, in case you want to learn more about the craft.

If you took my advice and grabbed a free limited copy of the digital art program called artrage2 online last year to play with (it is still available if you missed it last year) you are going to love this list of tutorials for using it to make digital art... here is an example tutorial I liked for painting portraits using the program. I use this program a lot for designing art quilted projects and painted designs... the full version is a steal at $25, it is a wonderful program to design in.

Great cooking site based on the Mediterrasian diet and loads of recipes. This diet alone has lowered my cholesterol to safer levels in 4 months.

I am also liking these cooking blogs a lot:
The Nourishing Gourmet
Mint Tea and Tagine
Elly Says Opa!
My Easy Cooking
The Kayotic Kitchen

That's it for now, more links later, my energy is up today so I am knocking it down by cleaning house...
