It seems I’ve been tagged by several people to answer the new round of the Weird Thing meme. I was thinking it seemed mighty familiar and a quick search of this here blog proved me correct. You can see my answers to the 6 Weird Things Meme and if you’re truly a glutton for punishment you can see my answers for the 5 Weird Habits Meme here. As if that wasn’t enough about me, I’ve learned I have a new little quirk that is making my family crazy: we have a cover on the sofa now and I can’t stand for it to be messed up or have wrinkles. In case you’re new to this blog, I have three children aged 2-5. I know it is an exercise in futility but keeping it neat and wrinkle free (and making the husband and children crazy by constantly tucking and straightening the offending cover) is my current mission in life. It’s gotten so bad that there are rumors of a ceremonial burning of the cover when we buy a new sofa. However sofa shopping is a whole other can of worms and I’m not even prepared to go there so I live with the cover.

I’ve been stitching lately but must admit I’ve been stepping out on my knitting for some sweet little embroidery fun.

This is my first real foray into embroidery and I love it. I’ve always admired embroidered tea towels, kitchen towels, table cloths, and handkerchiefs. The idea of all of those little stitches adorning an everyday item makes my little heart swell to the point that I feel like dancing around and singing My Favorite Things like Julie Andrews did in The Sound of Music (do I really need to link that?). There is just something so utterly charming about spending all that time to make an everyday item more unique, more colorful, more cheerful. Now it’s your turn, what makes you want to dance around and sing?
