Words for Wednesday

 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

  2. You would never imagine what Mr. Wasp intended to order after returning from the  "Recipe Machine's"  bathroom.
    Simply an apple.
    But suddenly there was a lightning, and riding on a broomstick he got swallowed by the tapestry on the wall.
    Explain!

    1. Sean Jeating; oh no! A cursed apple! and perhaps an enchanted tapestry too. Very nicely done.

    2. I wonder if he was in a type of wonderland and had an adventure.

  4. "I asked, 'Mum, may I paint a plum-tree?` - as we had no apple tree in the garden but such one. `Yes, of course`, was her answer. I was 4 or 5 years old and ... till now I sometimes miss the important part....
    I painted it on the wall. The tapestry was ruined and despite I´d asked it stuck there till I was 14!!!!
    I´d never imagine(d) my Mum could be like a machine-strict!
    Quite a recipe to teach your child??? I should´ve explain(ed) but I was too young, it was clear to me, where the painting will go..."
    Sadly this is a true story and weee... it is embarrassing to have friends over and you have a painting of a kid there.
    Today I can laugh about it and also... I had a fire-truck as bed - how bad can it get?

    1. Oh, my! Yes, you have to be clear when instructing children. They can get some odd ideas in their heads.

    1. Iris; I am laughing at you painting the tapestry. the twins love painting but know already they should only paint on paper unless I take them outside with huge brushes and buckets of water, then they paint the house, the fence anything they want because it is just water. I think a fire-truck bed is better for a boy, but if that's all they had, at least you had a place to sleep. Great Grandson B has a car bed.

    2. It was announced I get a baby-Brother and was asked to chose a bed he will get later, hence... fire-truck. It was for him but stuck with me forever. You could de-assemble it (is that a word?) so I had my wardrobe with a fat "112" on it ... my childhood, huh? ;-)
      I think it was never put into place for him :-(
      It was a great concept! You could even do your homework in there and you slept on top.
      You saw my bad sketch here ages ago... It was a cool "bed"!

      Delete
    3. It was a cool bed, not the same as my great grandson who has only the car with no "upstairs" part. I have a picture somewhere and I will find it and email it to you.

  7. The Jablog Tapestry had been made on a machine. I was sure of it. Munching on an apple in the bathroom, I thought about the corner scene where a witch on a broomstick was negotiating streaks of lightning. It was as if Janice had been following a recipe for her design, stitching to order. The doubt was like a wasp in my brain - buzzing around. It's hard to explain but previously I could never imagine that Janice would stoop so low as to put out a machined wall hanging while still insisting that the embroidery was hand done over many winter nights in her remote cottage in Berkshire, England. Such outrageous fakery!
