I know you forgot I offered a contest here. Initially, I said I'd offer a prize (pictured left) to the person who made me laugh out loud with her definition of "countered cross-stitch." And you people made me laugh. And then I felt bad about having to choose one person from the lot. (I also cry when reading children's books.)So I had the dude pick a name. He chose Michelle--I kept the scrap of paper as visual evidence but I can't find it now that I'm finally blogging. Her imagined subversive kleenex cosy is something that went on my list of things to stitch! Michelle, offlist me so I can send your prize.
Edited to add Michelle's comment: Countered - a verb - To move or act in opposition to; oppose. Needlework undertaken in an effort to push the boundaries of society's view of those who stitch. See also Subversive Cross-stitch. I'm sure she's stitched her share of Kleenex box cosies that say "F Off".
I'm being lazy today and haven't looked up Michelle's comment in full - could you include it in your next post? Always looking for a good laugh! ;)
ReplyDeleteLucky Michelle, that's a beautiful prize. She deserves it with that hilarious definition.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo - I'm a winner! Seriously the prize is gorgeous, and very generous. Now, get to stitching on that Kleenex cozy.
ReplyDeleteHi GF: did you snag your orn magazine yet? Mine came in the mail.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your review.
And, one of these years, Imight have some free time to actually stitch.
You know, thread the needle & boss it around the linen!!! LOL
