And then there are flowers
I have this sewing machine that is also capable of embroidery. Over the last two years I have accumulated various assorted items (towels, t-shirts, napkins, placemats, quilt squares) that are all lacking in “that special decorative touch.” To add to my insanity, there are a couple of websites (EmbroideryLibrary and UrbanThreads) that sell professionally digitized designs that stitch out perfectly.
You can see my dilemma, right? Besides the-oh so tempting sales, there is the occasional design that just announces that it perfect for [fill in name].
Which lead this afternoon to knocking unannounced on a Alison’s door with yesterday’s stitching project. This particular flower has a special meaning for her. And I could happily decrease my stack of towels by two.
This evening I completed the next two projects on my list-
- Firetruck
- Ambulance
They should be in the mail to Georgia later in the week. After that, I need to plan for my next victim. I have been told this is all “creative procrastination”. Oh, those outstanding papers. Right. 1 August start; expect whining.
