So Cuteous!

 This week of February 13th was particularly rough for me.
"Some days are diamonds. (Some days are stone.)" was a song written by Dick Feller and made popular by John Denver in the 80’s. I have been crunching on rocks since then.

God's Blessing Sends Us Forth



Granted there are times where it seems like "Fourth" and I really wanna be third, second, or first. 

But in the clenches I'll stick with the Creator.

My Nose is too Big!


Not my actual nose--but the nose on a t-shirt I designed.

We all face failures every day--it's what we can learn from them that counts in becoming who we are. 

I am trying my hand at being more graphical this year (No! I'm not going to swear more.) by designing t-shirts with online software. 

To be specific, this site is http://socuteous.logosoftwear.com/ and the software is by logosoftware.com. 

Here's the culprit:




On the t-shirt, my friend's nose (adorable--isn't she!) is actually too large. Also the picture has no shape, attractive bordering, outline, or drop shadow. Additionally, I missed on creating transparent edges.

Doing a design is not unlike writing a program: you don't know what it really looks like until you see the finished product.

Then,  just like in programming, once you view the result you inevitably realize how it could be better or what else could be added to make it more complete. 

Anyway, it looked decent on the screen--but alas, reality kicked in when I got the t-shirt home.

I've decided to wear my mistake--not have it wear me. 

I needed some additional workout t-shirts. If anyone criticizes the shirt while I'm gloriously sweating, I'll just ask them to show me their latest t-shirt designs. 

It's so much easier to criticize than to do!
