No, not the vest, that's going fine. But I was sorting
through summer outfits I wanted to have ready to pack for
the trip, and took out one of my very favorite T-shirts,
pale blue on which I embroidered five Oregon coast
lighthouses in a vee around the top. Perfect, right?

But no, I discovered I had splashed bleach on the sleeve
hem. That's ok, I can just cut off the long sleeve and
re-hem it with the coverstitch machine, making it
short-sleeved (better anyway for AZ-CO-UT in April and May).

But what's that?!!! A dime-sized white spot on the
front???!! D___N! Now I'm trying to decide if I want to go
to all the trouble of embroidering several more (to balance
out and make it look like a "design feature") lighthouses.

Or porpoises...or whales...or...???

Beverly, off to sew the vest. I'll mull this over a bit.

Beverly, How about rocks and water and drift wood? I know they are all
along the beaches of Puget Sound are they along the Oregon coast? The
rock and drift wood I mean. I know there's water along the coast.

I love the idea of waves, sand and driftwood, I'll have to
see if I have any artwork I could digitize, or alternatively
look for pre-made designs. Or maybe Haystack Rock, which is
on my favorite stretch of beach:

ROTFLOL!!! Lotsa water! ;-)

Beverly, making a run to the fabric store for thread to
repair one of younger DD's Ts. Why *does* the coverstitch
in RTW garments always run???

The first thumbnail in that series of pictures has so many great
elements in it. You could pick and chose what you want to include.
whaaaaa, I wanna an embroidery machine like the big kids have so I can
do neat things like that too. Just know it ain't gonna happen
