Q aRen't

In case you were wondering, and tempted to try, this doesn't scan.

However, cross-stitch DOES work!

I've just saved you a few hours of wasted effort.

You're welcome.

Also: this is me, again. This time, however, I'm sleeping under the bow-tie quilt. I guess I'm lucky in that this crud catches me every other year instead of yearly, or multiple times a year. Yeah...lucky. I'll keep telling myself that....

Unraveled: Merry Holidays edition

Today I gave myself the gift of letting go of this:

Fine. The thought behind it was noble; I'll buy myself a tiara and get on with my life!

National Drink Wine Day

Hubby informed me seconds ago that today is "National Drink Wine Day", the irony being that I'm low on that very substance and I was within walking distance of a supply several times today while running errands! Arrrgh!!

Perhaps had I been a little less ... erm ... "generous" last night, I'd have something to enjoy tonight. (Or, I could jump back into the car and fix this problem right now!) I don't know if it helped my free-motion quilting last night (emphasis on "free"), or just helped me accept the organic-ness of the results (I was aiming for in-the-ditch).

UFOs

Back in December 2015 I gave myself permission to say "No" to any long-term projects (in which I was not already involved as of 12/31/2015) until 1 January, 2020. One of my intentions for this "Just say 'No'" period was to unearth and finish UFOs.
