It’s Day 6, and #117 is kicking my butt. What was that I said before about how I can do anything if I just stick with it and am patient and blah blah blah? Yeah, well the me of yesterday never met The Boss. This cross-stitch stitch has me trying to stitch in the threads (or bars as I think of them) instead of the holes. What were they smoking when they thought that one up? I am pretty sure Aida put those holes in the fabric for a reason, people. The Boss does not respect Aida’s work, and I don’t want to play any reindeer games with The Boss.
Everyone always blames The Boss, don’t they?
I suppose I should be honest and say that I was trying to do The Boss in dim light while watching Glee in bed. And I was probably using a needle that is too big/dull. And I was eating skittles. And I didn’t have a nap today. But come on…it’s like trying to make a cake by pouring the batter around the outside of the pan. The Boss simply goes against the laws of nature.
Good thing I realized no one will notice if I alter the pattern. The Boss has been FIRED.
Yay, you fired the boss!
I applaud your craftiness. I do not have the stick-to-it-ness. I can barely finish one project before my flame of excitement over it fizzles out. *sigh* Knitting, cross-stitch, scrapbooking, you name it, I’ve tried it and abandoned it.
Good on ya! I wish we could see pictures of your finished products. Maybe after the fair next year.
I had planned not to reveal my projects, so no one would have an edge over me at the fair, but then I realized two things:
1. I’m not doing this to win.
2. Pictures are fun.
So, I plan to post pictures at least once a week.
