Memories Light the Shadows of my Mind

Megan and I have never met, but I played this little game on her blog and now it's your turn!

1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together share. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! And if we've never met in real life, leave me a comment of about your favorite post I wrote and why it was your favorite.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually really funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. (Even though I edited the previous paragraph, this one would require too much work. What are you going to do?)



Someday I'll have stitching I can show again (just sent the Fair and Square and secret stitching #1). Someday we'll have our computer back from the geeks so I can upload the photos.

In the meantime, I've been working on finishing secret stitching #2. You'd have thought I would have learned my lesson with my "pattern." This time, I changed the dimensions to make up for the errant inch. I started sewing the sucker...and fucked up again! Awesome! Instead of having to add strips to the two sides, I had to add them to the bottom and the sides. I think I'm going to have to drop out of Olympic Stitching and join the Special Stitching Olympics. (Is that wrong? Should I not have done that?)

I want to try to finish this project before our trip this weekend but I have a hair appointment tonight and we leave Thursday. Stupid work. It gets in the way of all my fun.

    I remember hunting you down at the Stitch N Pitch last year and being sorry that I hadn't brought stitching instead of my crochet. I still love the biscornu you made.

    Having met you, there are many memories from the night, but the first thing I remember about you is your correction of what would have been improper grammer on Gianna's birthday invitation, but was a typo on my blog.

    I admire you for your ability to say what you think...even to strangers!

    Hmm - I don't think you should have said that - and you know it too :o) People with disabilities who are in the ParaOlympics are just as capable as everyone else - sometimes more so, as they have to overcome so many obstacles.

    I have LOTS of memories of your posts through the years, Anna. ;) You're not one that's easily overlooked!

    I remember when I first met you and discovered that you are a lot nicer than I had expected you to be, for some reason. My most striking memory, though, is when you told us how old you were. I couldn't believe it! You can easily pass for 10 years younger. :)

    For whatever reason, I remember most your rant about incorrect chessboard designs! And since then, every single time I see a checkerboard pattern I check to see if it's "light on right" and think of you ;)

    I've got a terrible memory, but I'll go with 'Wie Hieland Coos' and say no more...

    I remember the first time we met in person (which predates your blog!)

    Dinner at La Tomate with Best Pal, my DH, and my BIL. My BIL -- who doesn't get either snarky or feminist and who was at the time a Rush Limbaugh Republican (he's lightened up since getting married). It could've been a disaster, but you and Best Pal very graciously avoided jumping on any of the straight lines he fed you.

    I still love the XS piece you stitched for Best Pal's 40th. Too cool!
