there are days...

so, there are 4 ladies at work giving birth in the near future - 1 this week, 2 within the next month or so, and the 4th, thank FSM, is due in october.  i say that because since the car eated my money, i decided instead of getting these ladies gifts, to stitch them all baby bibs.  they all know i'm a slow stitcher, but still...

so i just finished the 5th letter on the first baby bib, and i was taking it off the frame so i could tuck the thread under, and i realized... i was stitching with the bib inside out.

*kathunks*

i think this is where rule #4 comes in - 'you gotta be tough' - because frankly, between this bib and the wolf piece i'm doing 90* off pattern, if i wasn't tough, i'd quit now while i'm behind.  instead, i'm going to keep stitching in the sure and certain knowledge that when the moon is in the seventh house, and jupiter aligns with mars - i will stitch at least one pattern perfectly. 

and then the Vogons will destroy the world to make way for the intergalactic highway.  *nods firmly*
