This weekend I had plenty of time for stitching. For the first time in eons I had my laundry caught up, the cold and snow outside made me want to stay in my nice toasty apartment, and to top it all off, A. had to work. He worked at home, but given the fact that he is a computational physicist and that my computer is still at the computer doctor’s, I had nothing but stitching time on my hands.

I worked on “Girl’s Time Out” and at 12 hours, 15 minutes have finished my rotation on it. I am about 25% done and have finished the little girl’s pinafore, the top half of her dress, her head, and hair. Because I am narcissistic and I prefer almost all females I stitch to be blonde, I changed the little girl’s hair color from golden brown to what I refer to as “ultra-blonde.”

As I mentioned before, this little girl really reminds me of myself as a child, and believe you me, as a kid I was ultra-blonde! My hair was more or less white until I was about 11 when it finally started getting some golden strands in it!

Since this reminds me so much of myself, I also want it to represent me as a child, because I am thinking (though I am not yet 100% sure) of giving it to my mom for Mother’s Day. I really want to stitch something for her this year and was thinking about something with a “my mother, my friend” saying, but haven’t found one I like yet. Though I didn’t like standing in the corner when I was a little girl, it has become something of a fond memory for me and my mom, so I think she would really appreciate “Girl’s Time Out.” So, maybe I will give it to her… trouble is, I really like it too!
