I'm linking up to Friday Felicities again to celebrate things that have made me happy this week. One fun thing is that the folks at Wee Little Stitches have finally come out with a Star Trek: The Next Generation cross stitch pattern! I've already purchased my copy and can't wait to stitch it up! I'm a trekkie and TNG is my favourite Star Trek series. When I heard the pattern had come out, I thought I'd give this image macro meme thing a try and created this image:
Worf "Today is a good day to cross stitch" image by me
If you're a fan of the series, you'll know that this is Worf, a Klingon Starfleet officer. A famous Klingon phrase as they head into battle is "Today is a good day to die". I'd rather cross stitch than go into battle any day.
I actually bought this pattern using my other main Friday Felicity, my new Android phone! After seven years with the same old flip phone, I have taken a giant leap into the world of smartphones. You can now find me on Instagram as hollybroadland (and if you're not on Instagram, I've been tweeting my photos and you can see them here @myredbike). I'm am loving having a camera with me at all times. I finally got to take a photo of that real estate sign I've been wanting to photograph for weeks because it's great inspiration for a quilt.
Now that I have a great new phone, I'm learning how to text (finally!) and I can see where all those funny DYAC posts come from. I've been trying to be very careful to avoid funny autocorrects, but as I was buying the Star Trek pattern I accidentally sent the message "Live long abducted" instead of the more traditional Vulcan saying, "Live long and prosper"!
I'm laughing so hard…!
ReplyDeleteI just bought a bunch of their patterns a week or so ago (thanks to you and "Buffy") but I haven't started any yet. TNG is a pretty great one… Have a good weekend!
I can't wait to see it all done up!
ReplyDeleteWorf knows of what he speaks! Thanks for linking up to Friday Felicities!
ReplyDeleteThe TNG cross-stitch looks completely awesome--I will look forward to seeing yours in person when it's done! May you boldly go where no one has cross-stitched before!
ReplyDeleteI can`t tell if I commented already or not, but here I go again! I am deliberating over Dr. Who cross-stitches now, even though I really don`t need to take up any more hand projects! I am sewing a dalek and a weeping angel costume this weekend. We tried to introduce the girls to Start Trek but it just didn`t take.

ReplyDeleteI Wonder if they have an equivalent of cross stitching on the Klingon home planet? You would think they would, but I'm sure it would be with larger more dangerous needles and of course depicting great battles. As you can tell huge fan of Star Trek here and this is just plain awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the cross stitch pattern.

Awesome!!!! I'm loving your creative cross stitches lately! So fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Star Trek Next Generation when I was younger, but wouldn't call myself a trekkie...but I'm now in the middle of making a Star Trek quilt. My oldest is adopted and her birthfather's wife is about to have their first baby. It's a boy and her birthfather IS a trekkie. I need to hurry and get it finished because the baby is due soon.
