Every ridiculously early morning when me and the girls run, we kick it off by saying, "stupid hobby." Annnnd since I cross stitch, "stupid hobby" has two meanings.
I've been writing down the sayings we repeat to one another on the trail for a couple of years, and the girls want me to cross stitch our sayings onto a stocking. Silly, yes, but this may turn out to be the most treasured of all the stockings since it will remind my of my best friends and the hours we've spent left-right-lefting together, remembering what makes us laugh, and (hard to imagine) increase the love and appreciation we have for each other as we've bonded through this #stupidhobby.
Not sure all of the words can fit, and most won't mean anything to anyone but us, but here's the list. I'll try to fit as many of them as possible onto this canvas.
