sweeps week

most of the slow stitching going on around here lately has been on this broom...

last sunday

the pattern is from Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage 
and is reduced by 50% with permission from Crab-apple Hill Studio
and
the fabric is a pale poison green that is utterly misrepresented in any photo i have taken...

after another week of sweep sweep sweeping

 anywho...

it's kicking my butt even more than sweeping real floors 
not that there's been a lotta that going on...

linking with other slow stitchers on Kathy's Quilts blog for Slow Sunday Stitching...

good intentions

yep...

totally lame in the blog posting department...

lottsa excuses reasons

 but nothing anyone wants to hear about...

anywho...

i've decided to write posts about whatever i coulda shoulda woulda had to say

and postdate

cuz that's how i roll...

so if you do happen by 

you'll understand why suddenly there might be posts that weren't there before...

Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.

blown up

there i sat on a sunday, innocently following Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching links, and saw this on The Polka Dot Chicken blog...

do i really need to say more?!?

an immediate online search was made for my very own hippopotamus for christmas...

Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus, or just a really cool Opotamus?

seriously, do i really need to say more?!?

There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.
