So last week I realized that I needed to undertake a project and boy oh boy is it a doosy! Each of Mom’s grand kids have a cross stitched blankie that she gave them when they were born. Boo’s is a Bambie one and she still has it. Oldest Sis's kids still have theirs, too.
Well, it dawned on me the other day that Lil Sis’s kid will be the only one without…unless I do something about it. Sooooo….I went to the craft store (actually 3 until I found one that carried the stupid things) and bought a blanket on Friday. I’ve done this cross stitch on bibs before and I know it takes weeks to complete. As of Friday, I have exactly 3 weeks to complete this project. It is NOT enough time!!! Pookie told me she is going to come over and sit at the opposite end and work on it. If she isn’t joking, I’m going to have to take her up on it!
Friday night, Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday, I was busy. Hey, we all know I’m a very social and popular girl….what can I say! So last night was day one of the project. I sat it my room, read the directions and began sorting the floss (fancy name for embroidery thread). Poodle Pup came in to join me. At one point, she was staring intently in the corner. If Lil Sis was there, she’d say Mom’s ghost had joined me to help out. I wish she had joined in because it took me one hour to sort the floss. Yes, one hour to just get organized! I am soooo doomed!
