When I got up, I walked to the mailbox with Kasey to send back The Nanny Diaries and mail off a sympathy card to a fellow stitcher's mother. On the way back to the house, I stopped at our raspberry bushes and ate a couple dozen ripe berries. Meanwhile, the mosquitoes made mincemeat of my ankles and feet. One brazen fellow even bit me on the nuckle of my thumb! But the berries were worth it! Since it rained last night and this morning, I could eat them right off the bushes.
We returned to the house and I worked on Terra Australis, checked email, and chatted with some friends on IM's. The rest of the day was pretty much spent in the same manner, with the addition of watching P. S. I Love You for the 7th time. I just can't see it enough!
I've almost finished the ring of motifs around the center medallion. There are some green motifs that still need to be stitched, but I've decided to do the octagon around the center before I start on them.
I snagged this stitching poem from Dawn B's Multiply site. I hope she doesn't mind.
It starts out as a WHIMM (Work Hidden in My Mind).
After a FART (Fabric Acquisition Road Trip)
and someSEX (Stash Enhancing eXperience)
it becomes a PIG(Project in a Grocery Sack).
The PIG become a HSY (pronounced hissy
...meansHaven't Started Yet).
Once you have a HSY fit and begin work,
it becomes a WIP(Work in Progress).
TheWIP becomes a UFO (UnFulfilled Opportunity -
I like that better then Unfinished Object)
as soon as some other project grabs and holds
your attention more than the project that was a WIP.
That's my story and I'm stitching to it.
