I was sitting here trying to think of a funny story to share about “stitches” or “paint.” My sister kindly pointed out that I needed to share about my graceful fall in our kitchen. Chelle was still in Illinois when this happened, so I don’t know if she’s even heard the story. LOL!! In 1995, my sister, Barb and I moved into a house. We basically painted everything, and hung some wallpaper borders. One day we were working on hanging a border in the kitchen. It was a square room, but one wall was cabinets. My sister, Ellen was on a ladder in one corner, Barb was on a ladder in another corner, and I was at the other corner. We didn’t have another ladder, so I was balancing on a folding chair with two 5-gallon buckets of wheat of top of it, and I could just barely reach the ceiling. We wet the wallpaper border and Barb & Ellen had their corners pressed into place, waiting on me. I had the wallpaper border in both hands and was standing on 1-foot stretching up on my tippy-toes while using the other leg for balance. I am NOT a graceful person and I’m sure you can imaging the results. I think I must have clawed at the air for 5 or 10 minutes – which of course, was really only 1-2 seconds. (like Wile_E-Coyote did in cartoons!) Meanwhile, down on the floor, we had paint cans everywhere in all the different room colors. Our bathroom was being tiled and the porcelain toilet was sitting on the kitchen floor also. When I started to fall, and started grasping at air, I knew I was in trouble. I could land on all the gallon-paint cans or the toilet. Well there was a large crash as me, all that wheat, and the paint can’s all flew. (Tip! Wheat in “Wet Paint” is not a good thing!) LOL! What-a-mess!

My FAV LO of the week goes to Lynett. I loved the colors, the blocking and a nod to the excellence of student-worker’s everywhere. The Wet Paint Alphareally “pops!” Great job Lynett! I also want to mention Shanell’s LO. Love the way she used the CU Stitched Bloom’s flower outline without the actual flower. Check them out!Here’s the Creative Team’s designs for the week. Enjoy!
