Winter Cravings

Do you know what I am just ITCHING to do?

Besides sitting on a warm beach somewhere sipping mango juice? And getting a deep foot massage? And getting my eyebrows waxed? (Not at the same time. Did I mention that plucking my eyebrows drives me crazy?)

 Embroidery.

 I really love to embroider. Nothing too complicated. Something that can be done in a few hours. And then make it into a pillow or something and give it to someone I love.

I found a very cool website. I will share.

Vintage! So Cute!!!

I wish I could type and embroider at the same time. Or better yet, I wish I could do college algebra and embroider at the same time. Because I am spending waaaaay to much time with the whole algebra thing. But, hey, I got a B- on my first test! (This is nothing short of a miracle and an answer to prayer(s) (many fervent). Math is very time consuming. By the time I finish this class, I will be on a beach at Lagoona Beach (the amusement park in Utah-a land locked state)sipping mango juice chlorinated water and I will have no desire to embroider until next fall.

At least the pictures are fun to look at.

Do you ITCH to STITCH?

Embroidery IS math.
Most things are. ;)

Math takes time. Sorry. Good luck.

A warm beach and fresh juice sounds great! Pineapple with mint. In Brazil of course. :)

I want to write. It is an itch I can’t reach at the moment.

Embroidery may be math -I can sorta see a vague resemblance, but it is most certainly not college algebra! :) (Graphs would be so unattractive as a pillow.)

I’ll share my mango if you share your pineapple. Deal?

Let’s meet up on the beach and write. Sigh.

It’s a good thing writers have good imaginations. :)

See you in…Brazil. Then let’s visit Tahiti and finish it off in Hawaii.

Cheers!
