In ancient times, it was used, to make needlework designs, which were beautiful, imaginative and creative. All one needed was plenty of time, and the will to make something beautiful which would be passed on in the family as an heirloom. And that is why, when I was at school, it was necessary for all of us students to learn how to embroider a fine seam, do crusted samplers, and learn other engine needlework arts and crafts, like lace making, which were traditionally taught to the nuns in their convents. As they were our teachers, we learned how to make Irish lace, and other needlepoint projects, using a large number of stitches like Florentine stitch, basket weave stitch, Cashmere stitch, chain stitch, Continental stitch, diamond eyelet stitch, cross stitch, French knots, cross stitch trame, reverse basket weave stitch, mosaic stitch, slanting goblin stitch, Smyrna stitch, straight goblin stitch, tent stitch, upright cross stitch, triple cross stitch, tent stitch, etc. Many of these stitches are traditional and many of them have been forgotten, because people really do not have the time, energy, or the inclination to sit for hours, doing embroidery on a hoop, like a lady of leisure or like Mary Queen of Scots, with her 4 Mary's, her ladies in waiting, who were her constant companions at court and during her long years of imprisonment, where they just sat quietly, throughout the day, embroidering pieces of fine art. Needlepoint is normally done on canvas, which is a sturdy fabric built to last. It is an open weave fabric. It is used as a basic framework for the stitches that you are going to work into it. It is available in a large number of weaves, and the sizes are arranged according to the number of threads present vertically per inch.

Table of Contents Introduction What Do You Intend to Sell? Research on informational videos online Beauty Everlasting - Dried and Pressed Flowers: A Beginner’s Guide to Tunisian Crochet: Learning the Traditional Art of Hand Embroidery: How to Teach Yourself Cross Stitch With DIY Projects from Beginner to Expert: http://tinyurl.com/ybxbonph Cooking and baking Stage I – preplanning Selling through Demonstrations Creating Works of Art Finding the Right Market Conclusion Those Skills Learned When We Were Kids… Author Bio Publisher Introduction Being rather well acquainted with the youngsters of generation Z, – between the age of 18 and 35, especially when I was counseling them for their prospective career preferences, I noticed that a number of them had just one desire, start up a business of your own and become an entrepreneur and after 10 years become a multimillionaire. Seriously speaking, large number of ambitious young men and women are under the impression that entrepreneurship is a piece of cake, because there are so many business opportunities available all over the world for them, and they just have to open up the oyster grabbed the pearl inside. What they do not know is that many of these dreams remain just pipedreams, because of lack of proper advice, guidance and even financial resources. I was doing a little bit of research online and I was horrified to see a large number of books written by so-called startup manager gurus, which an ambitious person bought at prices ranging from $19.99 – only for the next 48 hours. Otherwise you will have to buy it at $38.99 and so on – to a higher price range. And all of them spoke about business plans, strategies, markets, setups and business this and that. All right, I learned it all, when I was getting my higher professional qualifications in business administration and management, in the age of the dinosaurs, when Peter Drucker ruled supreme as Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the more things change, the more they remain the same. We business professionals, just loved to make everything so complicated for our future students, to impress them about how knowledgeable we were. We had graphs, plans, flowcharts, and anything else which would look very impressive on the whiteboard or on paper, or on LCD presentations. And everybody would marvel and say, “Wow, our professor, really knows her subject really well, doesn't she. I could not understand half of what she was saying. But it was pretty impressive, yes, sirree, Bob.” Been there done that, confused my students thoroughly. That is why, I am going to write a totally non-confusing book for all the youngsters out there, who have been thoroughly confused by their counselors, guided to within an inch of their lives by their advisors, or have had their gray matter scrambled well by their egghead professors. This book is going to tell you all about general tips and techniques, for ideas for businesses where you are going to be working from your home, and you do not have to go borrowing thousands of dollars for initial start up seed funding, from your bank or from your relatives because you wanted to start big, in keeping with your ego, status and to soothe your own self-respect and to make a splash in the neighborhood or business world.
