my arm hurts

[robinsnest]

I have a piece of linen taped to my sliding glass door so I can trace my blackwork pattern, the problem is I can only do so much before my arm is like "DON'T HOLD THINGS HIGH THIS LONG" so I'm about 5" in and taking a wee break.

In other amusing news, Rob has a cold (that's not the amusing part) so I figured I'd let him sleep in. I know the man likes to sleep (depression symptom) but now I'm just curious how long he can sleep for?!? I think if we reach noon in 20 min I'll peek in to make sure he's still breathing...

I've done the sliding glass door thing before, too. Yeouch! Get your husband to give you an arm massage after!

I take tracing paper and use that on the linen instead. Or..I've done the counted stitch - draw it out on graph paper and figure out how many stitches go where from that. I've also stretched the linen really tight over a very black and white piece of paper and traced it with pencil.

If I ever have to do this, I can totally cheat and use my S.A.D. light.

Not that I have time for embroidery. It's about all I can do to get sewing done these days. =P
