Y'know this following directions thing is kinda interesting. I'm a real
stickler for following the "rules" (I even test highly on that behavior
trait & value)... but when it comes to doing something creative (like
sewing, quilting, painting, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching,
needlepointing) my general attitude is ---
once you learn the technique, be creative!!

But for goodness-sake -- follow the rules of polite behavior, follow the
rules of driving, ... you get the general idea!

you can see, I was behaind the barn door when the good Lord gave out
those
following directions genes

And I was in the south forty! You mean I'm not supposed to add BF and

thread to everything I see? Next you're gonna tell me that when the chart
says
550, I'm not supposed to stitch it in blue.

I don't do beads. Wherever possible, I substitute metallic braid. French
knots if I need the bump, and XS if I just need the sparkle.

An attitude that did not sit well with my late best friend, who apparently
got
in line twice for those following directions genes! (Which is why the
Good
Lord did not notice in inventory that there was one dose extra leftover.)
