last night was the Friday Night Sew-In ... and i almost blew it ... i knew about it in plenty of time ... as a matter of fact, yesterday afternoon i asked Auntia what she was gonna be working on ... what she said was
F and G
what i heard was
F.N.G.
i used to work at a Company that is FAMOUS for its acronyms ... my favorite was Fast Action Response Team ... but then they came up with International Fast Action Response Team ... i had just taken a sip of coffee the first time i read that and i almost spewed ... anywho ... i was trying to work out what F.N.G. might stand for and you do not want to know what i said out loud cuz it was not okay when my mind decided that it had actually heard
effing g
i gasped and said
Auntia!!!
in my best shame on you!!! voice ... and then i had to admit what i thought she had said ... she shook her head at me and sighed
anywho ... after a day of work and errands i found myself sitting down at the computer to catch up on reading blogs ... i guess i don't have to add anything to that ... my mind crept back to the real world at o'dark-thirty and i remembered that i was supposed to be having fun stitching ... it was too late to cut anything and i couldn't settle at the machine to sew the last two seams of the SS3 BOM ... so i picked up my PPSS BOM embroidery...
twisted vs simple
and finished the last bit of the yellow rose teacup ... then i stitched the outline of the dogwood teacup and saucer which isn't really as warped as it looks in the picture ... but i couldn't focus on the pale blue floss for the dogwood flowers ... so i put that away and took out HPV and worked a bit mostly taking out two-stranded stitches where i was supposed to use just one strand ... i stitched my way through two discs of AEITB before i decided that it was time to turn out the light cuz we had to get up early this morning to go on the OSSH ... and that's how i spent my FNSI

Your yellow rose teacup is very pretty, I'm quite fond of yellow roses you know.....are dogwood flowers blue? We don't have them in Australia, I don't think I have ever seen one. And why are they called dogwood? do dogs like them? do they smell like wet dog?
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I cracked up about what you heard v what Auntia said!!
ReplyDeleteHi Dianne....I've missed your wit and your gorgeous embroidery. Enjoy your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteOSSH? I can come up with a couple possibilities on what that means, but you'd probably want to use your "shame on you" voice on me too! BTW, I kind of forgot the FNSI, so you're not alone. I actually remembered later in the evening, but I just had no enthusiasm for sewing, so I flaked out. Next month, for sure!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so now I'm cofused (doesn't take much). What did FNG turn out to be?
ReplyDeleteJust be glad you don't know anyone in
