My inbox was full, full, of random articles from my Google aggregator. I bring them to you in no particular order:

• Stitching and mindfulness. 
• Stitching as therapy  (I know the second photo is a Lizzie*Kate design, but if you know the other two designers, especially the first one, please identify in the comments.)
• Racism and a little ageism meet embroidery (Why don’t you just embroider them? The quotes sound like something my grandmother would say,’”)
• Who even knew Torontonians was the demonym? Toronto skyline charted.
• Not to be outdone, the Winnepeggers (seriously Canada, you crack me up!) help create a piece on the Scottish diaspora 
• Snarkilily got some coverage in January (And Albertans. 
• Someone's rescuing those abandoned cross-stitches, and you can too. 
• The sounds of cross-stitch (Hungarian embroidery to be precise) 
• The Summer I Learned to Sew (not me, the author) takes pot shots at cross-stitch, sewing and crafters generally. Harumph.
• I've featured stories on craftivism before, but here's an interesting interview with the founder, Sarah Corbett: "The craft I focus on using is mostly hand embroidery and cross-stitch—handicrafts that require you to slow down and do gentle repetitive actions that help you to think deeply and critically about the global issue you care about."

And, full circle.
