qilora | a day of sewing and flashcards... (Reply)

i sewed a couple of hours before i cam to a point in the picture that i flubbed up last week (and i am just seeing it now).... after some sweating and re-thinking, i realized that the stitches i have to snip out aren't really so bad.... i wonder if it is possible to cross-stitch an entire picture and NEVER make a gazillion mistakes...

the only saving grace, is that we are our worst critics and there is no way in Hades that they can see our mess...

on the good news, today my index cards arrived :) ... i ordered 2 card-holders in order to get the blue ones (they were forcing me to get black box if i only ordered 1, how rude).... Tony snapped them together for me, even though i am SURE i could have done it myself (but this would have taken away his little temporary toy, so i acquiesced haha)

this afternoon i didn't study Irish, i took the time to fill out the new cards with Irish words i have already been taught... so far i only filled out 35 cards and you can *barely* see them in the box:

i don't understand why doing things physically is the only way that i can get things to come into my head and STAY there... i have been this way my entire life and it is a toss-up between just being wired this way, but also might have something to do with the brain tumor... so writing down the words, makes sense.... as compared to only seeing them already written by someone else....

tonight i am going to skip reading a bit from "Griechische Mythen und Sagen" (a kid's book) and instead i am going to read from "Charlie und die Schokoladefabrik"! another new toy that arrived for me today haha :

nothing new to kvetch about as of now, but i might be back later tonight after i slip into sleepy-time mode...

– us.
