I love hearing from readers, not as much as I love wine, but a VERY close second!

Thanks!

I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided it would be a good idea to make a needlepoint as a gift for a friend. I should know better.

So far, so good:

Cross Stitch

At this point I decided I was a master at this shit:

How quickly the conceited fall:

Final Cross Stitch

The lesson here? Always buy gifts. Homemade is crap.

If you insist on DIY gifts, buy a pattern and don’t make it up as you go. Otherwise you end up with a funky looking ‘c’ and framed swear words.

See, this is exactly why I must channel my creativity only into a novel that will never be read by another soul, or a blog that is anonymous. Sort of. My penchant for cuss words is just spectacularly out of control. I see yours is too.

I knew your Mormon upbringing would come in handy someday.

I so desperately wish that I would have gotten you either of the following items for Christmas. However, it doesn’t look like they come in pink so that certainly sucks balls!
