Shower Curtain Re-model

My sister Deborah, AKA, the Empress of Embroidery, will put machine embroidery on anything and everything. She embroiders more than anybody I've ever met in my life -- and I am personal friends with Eileen Roche, Editor of Designs in Machine Embroidery Magazine...

Recently, I visited Mitchell's house (Deborah's son). I was not surprised to see embroidery on the shower curtain of the downstairs bath...which I happen to believe is the PERFECT place for words.  We all know what a fan I am of "words".  Words make people think.... 
The words on this shower curtain are:  "LOVE.  Love begins at home"...

You may remember I'm a big fan of remaking shower curtains. I added some t-shirt fringe. Then, recently -- I bought a new bathroom rug and it had some bright circles. So I added some bright t-shirt circles...
Various sizes and colors...But it still needed a little extra something...

So, I cut out a pithy t-shirt slogan and ironed it on the curtain...with a few more circles to bring it all together. 
I swear -- I did not realize it was upside down.

I could have fixed it.  But the joke was just too good.

It's been like this since right after Christmas. At least once a day, it gives me a little giggle. Really. I crack myself up. But -- HERE'S THE THING -- nobody has ever commented on it...Not a single person...

Barb -- you would laugh out loud, right??

Bonne -- if you came here and used my bathroom -- you would think it was hysterical, wouldn't you??

Val -- you CERTAINLY would've got the joke...

It's shocking to me I manage to remain as creative as I am -- in the face of this complete and total lack of support and/or encouragement. 

My people suck.
