Olá, pessoas!
Finalmente consegui baixar o Picasa 3 no meu computador de casa e com esta incrível ferramenta eu consegui elaborar um mosaico com as fotos das letras já bordadas até agora - com exceção do “I”, que concluí somente ontem.
Este projeto começou em meados de 2010, quando eu estava fazendo as
pazes com o ponto cruz, mas ainda não sabia executá-lo... As primeiras letras
bordadas me envergonham tremendamente hoje, igualzinho quando eu vejo as fotos
do tempo em que usava “mullet”, o penteado mais nefasto dos anos 80.
No entanto, diante da profusão de projetos atuais e dos outros
interesses que foram surgindo e ocupando seus espaços na minha nada mole vida,
eu não pretendo “rebordar” as tais letrinhas “mullet”.
Ficarão como o registro do tempo em que achava que ponto cruzado era a
mesma coisa que ponto cruz, assim como aquelas fotos meio amareladas que me
assombram por minha autoconfiança ostentando o look que Zezé de Camargo
abandonou bem depois de mim...
Além disso, passo tempos sem coragem de enfrentar as cruzinhas e este
projeto é quase um UFO. Quero terminar o bordado das letras e montar o quilt
(ou que seja!) antes de meus filhos entrarem na universidade.
Explico: é que eles estão se alfabetizando e um quilt com as letras do
alfabeto (mais os bichinhos com seus nomes em inglês) fará todo sentido agora.
Muito depois, terei que aguardar netinhos... lol
Então, vejamos: já estão prontas 19 letras - Archie
Bear,
Bee, Cat, Dog, Elephant, Frog, Giraffe, Hedgehog, Jaguar, Iguana, Koala, Lion,
Monkey, Newt, Quail, Rabbit, Squirrel, Tortoise, X-Stitching.
Falta bordar: Owl,
Panda, Unicorn, Vole, Yak, Whale, Zebra.
E vocês? Cederam à tentação dos anos 80? Usaram a terrível combinação
cabelo mullet + ombreiras + cores flúor? Ai... meu passado me condena... lol

Easy ABC from MS - the pet’s party
Hello, fellows!
Finally downloaded the Picasa 3 on my home computer and with this incredible tool I could produce a mosaic with the photos of embroidered letters from Margaret Sherry’s ABC.
This project began in mid-2010 when I was making peace with the cross stitch, but still couldn’t do it very well... The first letters embroidered embarrass me tremendously today, the same like when I see pictures from the time when I wore terrible 80’s "mullet" hairstyle.
However, given the profusion of current projects and other interests that were emerging and taking their places in my life nothing soft, I don’t intend to do those little letters again.
Moreover, sometimes I’m without the courage facing the little crosses and this project is almost a UFO. I want to finish the embroidery and assemble the quilt (or whatever!) before my kids get in college.
Explain: they are learning to alphanet and a quilt with letters (and pets with their names in English) might make sense now. Much later, I'll have to wait for grandchildren... lol
So let's see, are ready: Archie Bear, Bee, Cat, Dog, Elephant, Frog, Giraffe, Hedgehog, Iguana, Jaguar, Koala, Lion, Monkey, Newt, Quail, Rabbit, Squirrel, Tortoise, X-Stitching.
Lack stitching: Owl, Panda, Unicorn, Vole, Yak, Whale, Zebra.
