Not modest, fantastic
When my little brother Louie was about 3 years old his favourite adjective was ‘good’ (or ‘dood’ as he said). So, one day I had a chat to him about other words he might like to use instead. We discussed words such as ‘awesome’, ‘brilliant’ and ‘fantastic’, but he remained loyal to ‘good’.
“I’m really good at helping Mum hang the washing out,” he told me.
“You sure are,” I replied. “And modest too.”
“No, Amie,” he corrected me. “I’m not modest, I’m fantastic.”
He learned a new word after all.
So, when I read the Craftster needlework challenge was going to be favourite quotes I knew exactly what mine would be. Unfortunately I didn’t finish in time to enter the challenge on account of a back injury which had me out of action for over a week. However, I really enjoyed working on it and I can’t wait to give it to Louie.
This was also my first attempt at stitching that wasn’t just backstitch or French knots. The border is laced double stitch worked in three colours. I really like the way it turned out.
