Here's where I sit just next to the window constantly on the lookout for bailiffs or itinerant wine salesmen from Bordeaux - I don't know which is worse, they're both pretty scary. I've finished my mug of tea so I'd better show you what I've been fiddling with lately .....
Ever since I finished The Token (available from all good LNS etc - you should know the script by heart by now) I have become fixated with this particular motif - what's that the first sign of do you think? Alice dear remarks like that just aren't very helpful, it's not Tourette's - ****. Let's press on ....
Oh no! here it is again but in different colours. I must keep an eye on this and just look at all those beads - what does it all mean? You remember the mysterious package I gave you a peep of the other day, well here's what was inside .....
A patchwork I made way back when the world was young and I had all my own teeth. Ah, happy days. Now all I need to do is to work out how to back the thing which is not really something that I know anything about, I must have been bunking off for that lesson. MarySue ask me again later and I'll explain when I've got a bit more time. You'd think her mother would have told her wouldn't you.
I asked Camilla if she knew but she's no idea either because she's got flunkies who do all the boring bits, like backing things, for her. I wonder whether I'd find anything under "Flunkies" in the Yellow Pages, I must have a look.
Why am I showing you this? Hope, it's my keyword for 2013 and just to make sure I don't forget I quickly dashed off a little aide memoire motif. Perhaps this is the second sign of something unpleasant. I must try not to panic. Long Dog's are normally huge and here I am messing about with piddley little motifs. Is there a doctor yet among my followers?
Speaking of which, or should it be whom. we're up to 30 strong now, almost enough to form a small crowd, or a choir, or an orderly queue. Bravo, but don't hold back. The titled tiaras are multiplying too but I'm still waiting for the one with the Corgi logo - come and join us ma'am, we're much more fun than the Women's Institute. The picture, by the bye, is of my festive mantle - time to give that other popular French blog a run for it's money - you do know the one I mean Sophie, don't be so obtuse. It's not clever.
Long Dogs may usually be huge but I've noticed that they're composed of small motifs -I hope this means there's a new one on the way! That's a lovely little motif, by the way, and I do like all the beads.
ReplyDeleteThat's for me to know and you to wonder Connie but somehow I don't think you'll have too long a wait.
DeleteThat's encouraging! I'll try to be good and not keep asking "Is it ready yet?" :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm.... Beads in a motif? I never thought! I usually stitch my long dogs over one, on high thread counts......I am definitely rethinking this! I am going to revisit my stash. I am thinking Wisdom or Virtue would benefit from a dusting of beads. Or, maybe St Flovier? Lovely, lovely! Regards, Theresa.
