In all the years I’ve been working on this #CrossStitch project (Mirabilia’s Garden Verses), I’ve never been able to see the full picture while stitching. I use a lap stand with a single clamp, and about the biggest it can handle is an 11” square.
My floor stand from K’s Creations (via Etsy) arrived today. I had a 20” Q-Snap square ready to go, and ended up scavenging an extra 3” extension piece to make it tall enough.
Y’all. I just. I can’t. 🥹
A man is sitting next to his newborn baby's cot. From the other room his father comes in and lays a hand on his shoulder.
"You've done really well, mate. You'll make a brilliant dad."
The son looks up and smiles with a bit of anxiety in his voice. "Thanks, Dad. I really hope so."
The old man pulls out a small book from his back pocket and hands it to his son. "Now that you're a parent, I'd like you to have this. I studied it for the first year of your life and memorised every single one. I'd love you to use it for my grandson."
The son looks at the cover which is titled 1000 Dad Jokes To Annoy Your Children. He looks up with tears in his eyes. "Dad...I'm honoured."
His dad smiles: "Hello, Honoured. I'm Dad."
