keeping on theme

OK If I have to stitch one more pooh character...I may just vomit...I love this hooded towel and the vibrant, deep colors...I think it's coming along nicely. I was never a character fan...of any type...maybe a lamb here or there but that's about it.....my kids bedding was just blue with clouds all over it...painted the room with clouds and stenciled a picket fence with flowers....not cutesy AT ALL...it's just not my style... this is cute, but so are fat toes and baby's bottoms.........I hope she likes it.... I will be dedicating this week to my Friendship Sampler RR...I haven't had one to do in a month because in my rotation, Willeke mails two at a time from the Netherlands and I completed both at once last time......I have to get into the swing of things.....

#%^&^#@@#!!!^ PHOOEY!

I have been MIA lately.......I have been planning my daughter's First Communion...(pics to follow)....I have gotten off the beaten track...I wanted SO darn badly to start my Laura J Perrin project, but I want to savor every moment and enjoy the ride...I really don't want to rush it...so next week I have scheduled a day with my wonderful starter supplies from Coni and my beautiful pattern.... You know....I work SOOOOO darn hard at centering things....but NOOOOO...can it ever work???????? I measure and measure, count, get out my stitch counter, calculator and pencil....toil for HOURS...sweat.....take a shot of liquor then dive in.....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...I can't take it any longer! Why can't I center anything??!??!! But I do think it came out pretty.....I must admit, not a big pooh fan, but the Mommy-to-be is obsessed and I have to stay within the theme....I forgot how damn hard it is to work with waste canvas....I love the results, but it isn't centered.....
