Finding the Humor

Witch Hazel Sewing Coffin

35 count Weeks Dye Works Straw

Some would say AppleJack and I have a warped sense of humor--they might be right.  We have found  humor serves us well.  Yes, there are times when things seem bleak and we have searched for something, anything to lighten the situation.


I was searching for something the other day and came across this piece.  Isn't she cute?  I did not have any of the called for fibers or linens so I just went searching in my scrap bag and coloring book fiber box and found what I thought would work.  For a little more humor:  all of the fibers I choose are food related:  Apricot Blush (jam), Chamomile (tea), Black Licorice (candy) and Fragrant cloves (spice).  Judging from the size of Miss Witch Hazels hips, she like myself has been visiting the Easter candy jar while staying at home.  


I'm hoping when fall comes, Corona will be a distant memory and I can chuckle at my choice of colors as I make an extra lap around the track, while walking off my safer-at-home Easter candy.

    That is just adorable. I stitched it last Fall but with none of your great humor. Ever time I look at her I will think of this blog post! Thanks for the humor!

    Now how did I ever miss this design from Stacy??? It is so up my proverbial ally LOL. And twisted humor? Well, that suits me just fine....many say the same of me. Love your "corona" twist. Stay well and blessed ~ Robin

    Wonderful! I do love it. And I hope and pray that we will be saying RIP to corona sooner rather than later.

    I think your commemorative corona virus coffin is quite apropos ! good for you finding humor in the harsh (for some) conditions. Are you able to work from home?
    stay safe Mel
