The circus Pony was passed up by the first magazine I offered it to. She said it was lovely bit it wasn't the right fit for the mag.
At least I didn't spend time stitching it (God bless computer simulations).
My husband broke his tooth last night (just to add to financial pressure). It's quite unfair. He takes really good care of his teeth and nags us all to floss. But this one tooth has been giving him trouble for years. I feel so sorry for him ... he just got over a really NASTY case of sinusitis (he's not even completely better).
BUT
I saw a wonderful quote on a cross stitch yesterday that I may design into something.
Make today count.
I have some errands to run today, but when I get home I'll knuckle down and design something else that will hopefully hit the mark.
AND
I've just gotten word that my ever faithful, wonderful Australian editor will take the Pony (stitched with a girl's name and an alphabet ... I'll give it to my friend's daughter as a present).
So, no UK breakthrough yet.
I'm not working at Macdonalds though!
