Full Moon on Groundhog Day

I could have sworn that's what the calendar said when I blearily flipped over the calendar to the new month this morning. What an evocative phrase! It conjured up visions of true groundhog romance, so I spent the day at work (multitasking while actually working, we're very busy) planning this little image. The guy with the flowers was from last year's post, but I stitched up his sleepy paramour this evening. Shadow or no, they will be sailing away together under the full moon.

Here's the part where I promise (again) to be a better blogger. I realize I'm part of a pretty big crowd caught in the post-holiday slog, but still... Ann Wood made a promise to post every day, and stuck to it! I know better than to set myself for that sure failure, but I hereby pledge that starting on Sunday, and for at least the rest of the month, I will post every other day. I got a new camera and have been itching to put it through its paces, so I can show some photos if nothing else.

One thing I've discovered while blog slacking is that it is impossible to do any kind of detailed work while catching up with Lost on DVD. The story is convoluted, but I can watch foreign films while stitching and keep up! The problem must be the other distractions.

It turns out the calendar only said "full moon" with a moon sign, and "groundhog day" underneath it, and my sleepy eyes added an "n", but it set off an inspiring day (lots of other ideas coming soon). Here's to occasional misreading!

I think if misreading the calendar can lead to such cuteness, then I hope you read it first thing in the morning every day while you're still half asleep!

Maybe it meant that the groundhog would moon everyone in full view?!
