PTB
Project to be, as Franny named it right back at the beginning.
Proud to be, as she has just pronounced it.
We’re proud of each other, we decided. Proud of the hard work, the commitment, the ideas, the skill.
I like the fact that the initials could become something else.
Coincidentally…
I did a workshop for The Craftswoman’s Club at the School of Art this week, teaching people how to embroider monogrammed hankies. One of the vintage hankies I’d bought already had initials on it… V.H. And I wondered what it might stand for. (Very Hard) (Vera’s Hanky) Someone stated it would not be wise to embroider the initials B.J. onto anything, for fear it might be misinterpreted as something rude. So then my mind started to play with the concept of embroidering people’s initials onto things, but to have a secret phrase that the initials stood for instead. They could be REALLY rude, or complimentary. The receiver would never know that you had changed it in your head. You’ve heard of passive aggressive? This could be Decorative Aggressive. I think I might be quite good at being decoratively aggressive.
I have started thinking of sets of initials, and what they might stand for…
Apologies if any of the following are your initials…
PDC – Pretty damn cute
CT – Crooked teeth
WF – Walks funny
NB – Nice bum
MOC – Miserable old cow
These are the initials of people I have known in the past, it’s more fun when the description fits.
So PTB might go through many changes throughout this relationship… in my head anyway!
Put To Bed.
Goodnight both!
