Day 11: Continued 114 | Needlework | Cross-Stitch | Wall Hanging.

This morning Anya said she didn’t want to go to school. She didn’t like school. She wanted to stay home.

“Do you like your friends?”
Yes.
“Do you like your teacher?”
Yes.
“Do you like singing?”
Yes.
“Do you like art?”
Yes.
“Do you like yoga?”
Yes.
“Do you like dress up?”
Yes.
“Do you like story time?”
Yes.
“Do you like playing outside?”
Yes.
“Do you like blocks?”
No.
“So you like everything about school except for blocks?”
Yes.
“Maybe you could go and just not play with the blocks?”
Okay.

I’m glad no one will be able to see the back of #114. Stupid knots. I said, “You will not beat me, knots!” And then I just sort of left the knots there, hanging around on the back of the piece. Getting in my way? Yes. Beating me. No. I’ve done 1.8 leaves so far. I figure at this rate, I will finish this piece by the end of October. That is not going to work. I need some completed-project gratification. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll work on 146 | Craft | Handicraft | Jewelry. I have a project in mind that I should be able to finish in one evening — something easy, cheap, and gift worthy.
