Brenda tells us "As I was making an Instagram post, I
added the hashtag - just fudge it and carry on. Keep Calm and Carry On
came to mind, and I had an idea, and I was in front of my cross stitch
software moments later. Say You Have
is a play on words taken from the Keep Calm and Carry On. Did you know
the Keep Calm and Carry On poster was printed in 1939 and was intended
to raise the British people's morale in preparation for World War II?
The poster was rarely displayed in public and was little known until a
copy was discovered in 2000, tucked within the pages of a book in a used
bookshop....and as they say, the rest is history. There was a crown
above the wording on that poster from 1939, so I thought it would be fun
to crown the frog. Next time the frog visits, no need to "rippit", just
fudge it and carry on!"
