But I so hate it when machines do what I tell them to do instead of what I want them to do! Glitches & delays & mistakes quench my creative spirit. 

I have so many UFOs in my sewing room: they take up an entire shelf! I think I'll have to cut out these cross-stitched blocks, then appliqué them to freshly embroidered prose... (I'm pretty sure my mom's been waitin
g for this pillow for a couple years, at least!)

Oh, for the "good ol' days"...
