Since your closing date falls after St. Patrick's Day, though, I'll just throw a few more limerick attempts your way. Hope you enjoy them!<br /><br />There once was a stitcher named Mary Jane<br />Who thought winding floss a real pain. <br />She tossed semi-used thread<br />In a basket instead. <br />Now a new start is waiting in vain. <br /><br />Counted cross stitch or punch needle - you choose. <br />Empty hands may mean you could lose. <br />Think it through in your head,<br />Pick up needle and thread. <br />If you don't, you may find you want booze!<br /><br />There's a new cross stitch design to peruse <br />But too many things to choose. <br />Oh, what fabric? What thread?<br />I've a pain in my head!<br />Guess I'll have to chill out with some booze. <br /><br />Start with a piece of some wild berry pies,<br />Then add spices in muslin ties. <br />"You're doing what?!" you ask. <br />Why, enjoying my task<br />Of creating new fabric - hand-dyes!<br /><br /><br />CalamityJrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476593722594704013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951437392335459355.post-39377830807849505502015-03-08T21:31:46.440-04:002015-03-08T21:31:46.440-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stitchinowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547209451120677277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951437392335459355.post-37916299979919922702015-03-07T22:09:51.078-05:002015-03-07T22:09:51.078-05:002nd line = 7 syllables and multiple entries are pe...2nd line = 7 syllables and multiple entries are permitted.rionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141923797221351378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951437392335459355.post-32613860834036323952015-03-07T12:29:19.327-05:002015-03-07T12:29:19.327-05:00I didn't even attempt this in past years, but ...I didn't even attempt this in past years, but this time my brain won't shut down!
