Well the new contest over at spoonflower is that you must have fish and must use only the four colors that they have chosen.....well they added black and white to the choices too. So I started thinking napkin designs.......napkins that were already printed for you..... all you had to do was cut the fabric, tuck, iron and sew the edges. I was not thrilled with the set color choices but I was thrilled at the challenge to have to use them and try to make them work. So I started designing a napkin, the wheels were turning and my flower napkin grew right in front of me
I started adding the colors, the hours were flying by, this wasn't going to be so bad after all....then I remembered....FISH it had to be a fish design, some very loud swearing followed. I had to stop for the day the kids were home, dinner had to be made...etc...etc.
This morning I woke up if it needs to be fish, then fish it will be........fish for dinner......fish napkins...I can do this......
So I used my original napkin border, not all was lost, added my two fish, even gave them a sappy little fish tale (bad pun I know) to go around the napkin.
Two fish met in the sea. It would have been easy for them to pass each other by and not say anything but both knew that sometimes you have to take a chance. So they both stopped swimming and talked and talked. It started getting late, so they both asked (at the same time) "Would you like to go to dinner with me?" No answer needed, instead they swam away, this time in the same direction, happily ever after.
Have a great week! I will be off the computer until next week.
