Ok, so I am slow at things. But one of the things that I don’t do is April Fool’s jokes. Partly because there have been some really funny and amazing ones over the years and I just can’t compete. The Australian ones from Royal Caribbean come to mind (the spoof about a new ship called Crikey of the Seas with barbecues one the balconies) & the Voyager on wheels).
So instead I watched a number of YouTube videos and attending the UCSD Medicine Grand Rounds by Zoom which was a fascinating look into the drug industry – the investments, costs, and money made off new drugs…including the horrendous amount of money spent on advertising. For many of you – the last won’t make any sense. There are only two countries in the world which have direct to consumer advertising – and the US is one. Which explained to me why, the rare times when I see a TV screen, there always seems to be a drug ad being played.
Anyway…. I thought I was going to completely stay away from SALs this year. But then a few popped up from designers that I really like. So I have added Modern Folk Embroidery’s Quick Quaker SAL to my stitching. The whole pattern has been released and just divided into 30 sections meaning less than 200 stitches a day….
