学做女红 Learning needlework


做女红一流的妈妈,竟然生了一个女红白痴之女。开始训练女儿是买了一块白布,妈妈用铅笔画上花草,夹进木制的圆形绣花夹内,教女儿如何穿针,如何绣花,懒惰的女儿每次都将绣花线拉得长长如手臂可伸的长度,为了怕穿针的麻烦,并不知道太长的线很容易打结的,每当打结,也不管三七二十一继续上上下下的乱绣,往往翻开后面一看,哎哟!我的妈呀!后面一团乱七八糟纠结成一堆的线头,还将整块白布变成灰布,湿湿皱皱的,手汗太多之缘故。

索性用花架夹上毛巾,戴在头上当阿拉伯人来玩算了,也是好有创意的女儿!


Mamma was excellent in needlework, but she had a totally ignorant daughter.

She started training her daughter by buying a piece of white cloth, using pencil to draw the outline of some flowers, clipped into a round wooden embroidery clip, started by teaching her daughter how to thread a needle, how to embroider, lazy daughter every time pulled the embroidery thread as long as the arms could stretch to save the trouble of treading a needle, didn’t  know the long thread would easily tied into knots, she simply continued using the needle up and down in embroidery, when turned back the cloth and have a look, ouch! My goodness! At the back of the cloth was a mass of tangled thread, and the piece of white cloth turned into a gray cloth, which was wet and wrinkled as my hands sweat too much.
Might as well clip with towel, put on the head like an Arabs to play, what a creative daughter!
