- The back of beyond: A new direction in stitch

I've found a new Kindred Spirit in Amy Meissner ... specifically her post B-sides (oh, I am so jealous that she used that post title first). I'll add links to this post later, but for now you can find her in the links to the right.

I love looking a the back-side of needlework, as many of you know ...

So much so that I'm deliberately working a piece backwards, sketching on the back with a Pitt pen ...

then working a very open backstitch from the back ... 

which is looking very interesting from the front (although I think I'll try a smaller moon next time) ... 

And now a mondegreen moment: 

Two year old Jackson politely asked for "more please" at dinner.

"More what?" we asked.

" Apple tacos," he said ... which we thought was adorable because we were eating red chile chicken on tortillas. So I promptly got him some more apple sauce.

Except while he was eating that he once again said, "Apple tacos please!" And it hit us ... he didn't want apple anything ... 

what he really wanted was more "avocados."
