Or:

How to keep Karen from going completely and utterly batshit insane.

I may complain about my mum regularly, but often, like today, she reminds me why I love her so very much. We've been talking about a few things. About being stressed at work, and depressed about failing the last exam and generally not having enough energy to find things to do that keep me interested and lots of other things. She had a wonderful idea, and I'm going to run with it (provided I find enough volunteers).

There are a few people on #afp (and probably elsewhere as well) that are in interested in crafts and such. Mum is now involved in a project where a few (in her case nine) people join up to make one (or more) needlepoint projects. Each person thinks up a theme, does the initial part of the project and sends it along to the next person along the line. In her case, there are nine different projects, with nine different themes.

I was thinking something less elaborate. It's a needlepoint project (cross stitch) with a Discworld theme (details to be hammered out later if people are interested) with the option of presenting the finished project to Pterry at the next Discworld Con (which I fully intend on attending, oh my yes).

All I need now is vict...er...volunteers.

Any takers? :)

I fully intend to do another small cross stitch project anyway for my new niece (who's now...er... nearly 3 months old and I've not yet seen her *ashamed*)

I will volunteer, so long as I get to do my bit before the school year starts...

I'd love to be able to join in, but have about five jewellery/dressmaking projects waiting for me to finish them at the moment, and don't know whether I'd be able to get my bit finished on time.
I look forward to seeing your finished piece, and am really glad to hear you intend to be at the Convention next year :-)
