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...

meet Bluebert...

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

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.

Carl Sandburg

warning!

too late for me ... i've been megged ... by Gretchen at Stella Bella

go here and here

just when i thought i was over Jason
Yenter's Eclectic Garden

sigh ... my heart is all aflutter


did i meg you?

not all who wander are lost

if you wandered over here from Kim's blog about megging and Hocuspocusville (referred to around here as HPV - not the virus) and studies and soccer terms and quilting embroidered quilts and the other myriad topics that Kim worked her word magic into one cohesive post ... and you've noticed that the picture that i posted of HPV's quilt shop wasn't actually finished ... well, here it is in all its wrinkly glory...you want it ... you know you do!!!
i decided to use a back stitch for the words on the tree banner after all ... i think i will do the same for the small words on the other blocks ... and (raising up my glass to Kim and her love of Starbucks - the coffee bar, not the Colonial Warrior) i've traced out Bubble and Brew - the fly-thru coffee shop - to embroider next...
...while i was wandering around searching for the links i realized that the designer for Crabapple Hill is named Meg ... coincidence?
