Cwtch-speak lesson 3: Procraftination

Untitled
pro-craft-in-ate* verb
1. To put off doing something (necessary), in favour of (unnecessary) crafting
Oh yes, I am at it again - digging around in my craft supplies instead of getting on with existing projects or, heaven-forbid, doing some housework. In fairness, this lovely Alphabet Sampler kit from Alicia Poulson has been waiting patiently for some time, and deserves attention. It also deserves someone more accomplished - this will be my first attempt at any embroidery since I was a child. A small hoop has been ordered and as soon as it arrives I'll make a start. In the meantime I'd better start practicing those stitches. Wish me luck!

*Unlike previous cwtch-speak lessons, I am unable to recall where I first came across this word, but being so perfectly descriptive, is now firmly in my vocabulary.

  1. That looks like a really pretty pattern. I've not really ever tried embroidery, despite having a couple of books on the subject. One day.....
