So I made this belated card for my friend. Better late than never!
And when I showed it to Bryn (my biggest critic fan) she said, "Happy birthday to E we?"
I said, "No. That says ewe."
She said, "What's that?"
I said, "It's a female sheep. It's a play on words."
She said, "Umm, no one knows that Mommy, except for you."
I hate to be right ALL the time, but I'm pretty sure she's wrong & I'm not the only one that knows that. And anyway, it's not like I'm going to have a lot of uses for a sheep sticker so I thought it would be cute on a card...
My sewing machine seems to have something wrong with it & it's really annoying me. I've tried rethreading it about 50 times, which by the way is making me blind, and it still won't sew. It comes unthreaded every time. WTH?
Determined to have some added texture on here though, I got out my needle + embroidery floss. Usually this results in blood added to my project but I'm happy to say I managed to finish this one without poking my finger...
I added the pink bow to my sticker... just to make SURE there was no confusion as to whether it was really a ewe or not.
Ewe know what I'm sayin'...
And welp... it's 9:00am... I've already taught the 5:30am Zumba class & I feel like half the day is over! Better get my 2nd wind... I'm booked!
I totally got the "ewe". I'll ask my kids when I get home, just to check ;)
Love the card.

Ewe always make the most darling cards. Love that the bow is a necessity.
Umm, did you check the tension on your sewing machine? That always seems to be my problem. ;)
hugs,

This made me LOL. I get the EWE--super cute :)
Ugh, sewing machine problems are the worst. So frustrating! I agree, check the tension and then clean out the area under your needle. There may be a build of dust or adhesive that is causing the needle to stick. (haha--get it? . . .needle to stick? ok, I'll go now).
