I only get Elizabeth if I'm in trouble with the IRS:):):)

"Krystyna, Krystyna. What is this? Well, that IS a lovely painting of a pumpkin you've made."
Mom walks into my bedroom and sees me hard at work on one of her old skirts, snipping away with scissors in hand.
"Krystyna, Krystyna! My goodness! Isn't that a fancy hula skirt you've made."
Mom passes by the hall closet and notices a sign I enthusiastically made to remind me of the schedule for my soon-to-start violin lessons. It is affixed with to the lovely oak door with glue meant to repair shoes and has a fancy leather frame made from my father's old belts.
"Krystyna, Krystyna! Oh! Oh ... Well, now no one will forget your lessons for a long time. Oh. Oh, my."
So, in keeping with my quilting qualities ... I decided to use the ID Krystyna. Mom passed away many years ago, but with each quilt I finish, I can hear her say ...
"Krystyna, Krystyna. Oh my. What have you made here ..."

My husband always referred to me as kid as a pet name; didn't mind it to much when I was younger. But as I got older I didn't like it. So when he called me that one day, I sarcastically said Kid Me? Not! and the 43 was how old I was at the time. Now that I have gotten a little older I don't mind the Kid part as a knick name not as a pet name.
