I finished "Dull Women Have Immaculate Houses" this morning. It's a 5x7, and
probably out of print, since I don't even remember how long ago I bought it.
I'm hanging it right inside the front door, as a warning to anyone who objects
to the state of my housekeeping that they don't want to come in.
The chart is up for grabs to the first person who requests it. I'll include
the leftover floss. Most colors should be sufficient.
Meanwhile, until these two little hellions go home and stop undoing my
housecleaning, I'm going back on the couch to stitch some more. Next up, an
"August" bellpull for Angelika's August birthday.
Finished 2/24/2000 - Sweet 16 (Silver Lining)
WIP:Mermaid of the Pearls, Teen Creed, California Sampler, America the
Beautiful (Nimble Needle), antique green doll (Vervaco)

The Lizzie Kate, right? I just finished that the other day myself! :-)
It's an adorable chart. Now it goes to Jodi; since there was only one copy
when we each wanted one, we're sharing custody...:-)

I have a booklet of this and similar gems like "A woman needs a man
like a fish needs a bicycle". Oldies but goodies and they still make
me smile :-)

Anyone want to chart that for me? :)
But I also have to teel an anecdote, most of my creative coleagues , do
have swatches and have all kinds of stashes books etc.....
several years ago i went to an exhibition of embroidered wall Rugs, They
looked To perfect ! and the Color range of each work was sort of
FAMILIAR .......The woman was Braggy !!!! and i still could not point out
waht it was, Well somehow mysteriously she heard i was quite knowledgable
and had many books , so she asked to come to my house , and invited me to
her`s. When I entered her house the Coin fell down .....on her walls were
all the Ready made Kits from 2 companies in their actual Sold size, Her
Works were The SAME Only Bigger versions of Each Kit ! I sort of looked
around and later asked about swatches , books and such/
The woman claimed That SINCE SHE UNLIKE ME is A REAL artist, she Never
makes swatches,, and does not need books and such,,,,, i politely asked
about the work shown in the ` exhibition , and she explained Quite
Proudly that she bought Each kit in several copies , enlarged the Original
on a copy machine and Thus HAD HER ORIGINAL ART , i was speechless and
told her this was UNDONE !!!!!
PS never saw Such an Sterile Clean House .......
Ps 2 she came to me and asked to COPY some of My work , blantly like that
!!!!

Hmmm..interesting. Lizzie Kate has one out too. It's worded a little
differently "Only Dull Women Have Immculate Homes." I'm really getting
into Lizzie Kate's stuff. They are so much fun to stitch. And with the
sampler threads! A blast!! :-)

Yep, she's hooked all right! Now I have joined the Lizzie Kate fan
club, too. That Dull Women one is adorable! How about a happy dance for
both of you and both versions of the theme?

I would substitue "stash" for "sewing room".
How true! :-))
