font-size: large;">Hello my friends!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Whippy Wednesday is my term</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">for Works In Progress (WIPS)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I stitch most evenings whilst watching tv.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">It is relaxing to me after working all day...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">and driving an hour each way to work.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">So after dinner I stitch in my comfy chair</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">with my Ott light next to me.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I started cross stitching when I was 13.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Gramma B took my sister and I to the</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Five and Dime in the nearest town.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">She purchased a stamped cross stitch project</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">for me while she bought my sister a kit to make</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">hot pads with the loops.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I was hooked once she taught me what to do.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Whenever she went back to that store</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">or Ben Franklin's, she would get me a new</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">project and my sister more loops.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">My sister was only 8 at that time.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">We spent the summer months with both</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">of my gramma's.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Half of the time at each. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I loved spending time with each gramma,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I did a few other changes to this pattern.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The bird was supposed to be the lighter blue color.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I chose the darker blue. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The motif on the left was to be in both blues.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I went for blue and gold.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Then the initials were also suppose to be stitched</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> in the lighter blue.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I did those in the last color to be used for the</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">second pattern...I should have used this color</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">for all of the gold. Oh well.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I also changed the initials to represent Bob and I.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">JU for the month we were married in July.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">09 for the year we were married.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">AU for Bob's birthday month of August.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">DE for my birthday month of December.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">MI for Michigan,</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">which ironically was already in the pattern.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Finally JH for my maiden name initials,</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">and RA for Bob's initials.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">One more change was the initials were </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">to be completed one over one.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;
