The names I have called some fabrics are not used in polite company!

I don't give them names, just mental-or verbal description. Blue dot, red swirl, green check--simple stuff but it does help to keep things in order. :)

No wonder she looked at me like I was nuts. |
I have never named them, always numbered them though. Daughter does it too :) rather than saying the purple wave is getting low, we will say need more #3. As long as we are on the same project its all good. But wow, when we are on different ones its confusing. My number 1 is her 3, it gets all kinds of annoying.

I don't really talk to the fabrics, but I tend to have a way of keeping them straight that is sort of like naming them. I pick out some distinctive trait--sparkly, pink, dotted, ugly, etc.--and keep track of them using the traits to keep them in order. I guess it's just one small step to naming them....just add Mr. Mrs. Miss or whatever.
Since I generally have my radio or iPod on with music and I sing with the tunes, I can't imagine adding my own made up songs to the mix. But maybe I would make fewer mistakes if I did! |
I don't name them per se, more of" this reminds me of" or this color looks like hog scour brown,lol don't ask. Although I did name my" lovely" in the ugly scrap challenge,it reminds me of the thorns in Sleeping Beauty, so I named it Malificents Thorns. :lol:
