Do you remember my Cheeto story from when I was stitching
EarthDancer? I had finished for the day and was treating myself to my
favourite snack of Cheetos & Diet Pepsi. I had put ED (mounted in a
scroll frame attached to my Sit on It lap frame) on the other side of
the family room with the design facing away from me. I went and got a
brand new bag of Cheetos, my glass of soda and sat myself down in my
recliner. The bag would open easily so I gave a nice FIRM tug. The
sides parted, the top tore and a huge, fat very yellow cheeto went
flying across the room and landed smack dab in the middle of the light
beige stitched area of the almost finished ED!
Talk about panic! For those who haven't done EarthDancer, there are
a number of specialty fibers that are hand dyed and it is not
recommended that they be washed so I hadn't planned on washing the
piece. Of course, I had to go to Plan B after the flying Cheeto
incident -- LOLOL! I currently have a nice yellow Cheeto fingerprint on
the outer edge of the little piece I am doing for the SMDGD's tree

skirt. This can be washed so it's no big deal :-). CiaoMeow >^;;^<

LOL - that is one of those stories which reminds us about taking care with
our stitching. For about the last year or so I've been pretty good about
covering pieces with something when I'm not working on them. Even if I'm
going to grab it in a little bit, I throw the pillowcase or a napkin over
the piece. Too much Puckster traffic around - and close calls with jostling
food/drink. Glad your Earthdancer worked out though. And you'll be able to
wash out that personalized fingerprint!

I limit myself to one of the smaller bags of Cheetos (the one that
is less then $2) per week. I *try* to limit myself to 2 cans of soda
per day but if I am really busy either sewing or stitching all day, then

how much I drink is up for grabs. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

That's pretty good for an addiction. Honestly, I probably only indulge in
the Cheetos thing about once every 2-3 months. OTOH, at lunch yesterday I
did indulge in french fries - that weren't greasy. Ugh. It's Donna's fault
- that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I'm not much of a soda drinker - and probably do about a couple of cans a
month. DH, OTOH, feels Mountain Dew (Diet) to be his preferred morning
drink - and justifies it with OJ listed on the ingredients list. But, I am
quite fond of having iced tea on hand, having grown up in warm Miami
weather, so we always had a pitcher in the house. Around here I tend to
bringing tea (hot) or iced - weather function - down to the sewing room with
me.

I deny all blame. It was easier to not try to explain to that
particular waiter what you wanted instead of fries...
I had a stitch free day yesterday. But I did study Melinda Cross'
"Reader's Digest Book of Embroidery."
