projects by the wayside

My favorite white shirt got a hole in it. Three holes, acturally. It kicked around my closet while I tried to find one to replace it. This failed. Meanwhile a plan started to grow in the back of my mind. Maybe I could cover up the holes with a design, a flower? Then I started thinking about the ribbon embroidery I had seen in my craft book.. and I remembered a few swatches of material that I like .... hmmmm.
Last wednesday morning I woke up and it felt imperative that I wear my shirt. So out came the scissors, and my embroidery book, some colored floss, and my old friend stitch whichery, the iron-on adhesive. Here's what happened.
I think I like it! But I still lost my favorite plain white shirt. Darn!
