Forget florals. Embroidery first came to life for me when I realized I could use it to replicate the human body. Nothing is as fascinating, exciting, and challenging as human anatomy and single-stranded stitches are perfect for accurately rendering its colors and textures.

All you need is a board, game pieces, a partner to play with, and a place to play. However, some people can find a reason to complain about anything. For example, this Redditor’s chess club was kicked out of the venue they rented in the city hall because some employee and his director were bothered that the players brought their own chessboards and game pieces....
