Roll with it

Mark wanted me to cross stitch him a saying that he hears a lot nowadays:
Just roll with it.


For him, it means to acknowledge the changes, adjust, and move on.  I wish I felt as philosophical about it as he does.  And, although I like to cross stitch more colorful phrases, that wouldn't do for his office.  I can't have his boss and co-workers thinking I'm some sort of weirdo.


I have a small sewing box from the 70's with a jumble of  thread.  I have enough thread now to last me through a few years of cross stitching.  There are lots of bright reds, pinks, and blues. 


It took me a couple of days to complete. 


I popped it into a cheapie IKEA frame and had it ready for him to take to his office.


Then I sat on the floor in my bedroom, sorting the thread, unspooling it, saving the wooden spools, recycling the rest, and tidying up my stitching bag.  I guess I need to get busy on another project.
