Project: Complimentary Cup of Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate
Designer: Drawing from http://cathycreatif.free.fr/index_galerie.php
Type of needlework: Mixed media

Comments: After tracing the drawing, I painted the saucer and the cup with watercolor paint and stitched the outline.
I thought this little design was just the thing for when I have something fun and/or interesting for you to read. What could be better than to put our feet up in a comfortable chair holding a good cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate and just relax for a few minutes.
Enjoy the following!

CROSS STITCH HORRORS
Today I joined a cross stitch class
And though it may sound dumb
Where once my fingers used to be
I now possessed a thumb
I couldn't thread the needle
And this creates a "hitch"
For without a threaded needle
You can't create a stitch
The instructor had to thread it
Amd though it sounds kind hearted
She muttered lots of muffled words
And hastily departed
She showed us how to make a stitch
And where we should begin
But the first stitch ended painfully
Beneath my tender skin
Well, I've never been heroic
And I believe one lady said
The screams that issued from my mouth
Would surely wake the dead
The class was in an uproar
As they crammed to take a peek
For my face was now a deathly white
And my legs were feeling weak
My finger was in tatters
I tried hard not to cry
But the gash looked like a canyon
There was a good chance that I'd die
The teacher yelled impatiently
What she said I'll never know
For I fainted in an instant
When the blood began to flow
The teacher phoned the ambulance
For the wound was very deep
But she said the blood-drenched patterns
Could now be mine to keep
As they placed me in the ambulance
She let out such a shriek
When I tried to reassure her
That I'd be back next week!
