 Even though ~there is an abundanceof new technology and products~ available now a days   ~ the older traditional crafts appear to be a lost art ~
 Years ago~  *needlepoint and embroidery *were so very common ~and seemed to be found ~in many households as a hobby for many women~ 
 Of course it requiredGood eyesight  to be able to keep up with the precise counting~ and then of course patience~
  I suppose~ with the times and the economy as well ~mainly ~ women dont have ~**the time **~with two people working in each family~ and raising children~ and thier activities  ~ needle point doesnt hold an important spot in  thier lives~ 
 I went to a garage sale not too long ago ~and purchased the most beautiful *Framed  piece of needlework*   for next to nothing  ~ I am sure ~that some one put in many many long hours of work into it  ~ It is just gorgeous~
 So maybe it is   the right time to acquire  some lovely pieces of that type of craft ~if   you enjoy it as i do ~
 I think that the younger generation  is probably into other types maybe *Abstract *  art  of whatever is out there now~ It just makes me a little sad to think of how much love was put into these things and tossed aside~But times change and so do values  i suppose......
