I can hardly believe that Labor Day was this past Monday. This did not feel like a 4-day work week. I’m ready to crash.

Friday Finds is my weekly round-up of needlework, textile, books and art links from my wanderings around the web.

Here are this week’s links:

• Libby Williams combines painting with embroidery to create one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate her love of travel.
• The Mr. X Stitch blog shares 20 creative uses for Kreinik thread.
• I love this idea: “10 College Courses to Read Along With This Semester (From Your Couch)“
• I’m such a sucker for these book lists. Book Riot shares “100 Must-Read Travel Books“.
• These tiny dioramas are amazing: “Miniature Scenes Staged Inside Jewelry Boxes by Curtis Talwst Santiago.”
• The Spruce rounds up links to 10 conversion charts for embroidery threads.
