OH SUSANNAH, DON"T YOU CRY FOR ME...FOR I COME FROM ALABAMA WITH A BANJO ON MY KNEE....

suzani's

The reason for the title is to help you memory challenged gals out there remember the pattern name.

Suzani.

I am challenged daily with remembering names.

For instance, there is a woman that I regularly see, she doesn't look like her name.

Do you know what I mean ? 

Every time I would run into her I would call her by the wrong name. The same wrong name every time.

Debbie.

Her name is 'Diane.' But she looked like a 'Deb.'

As you might imagine this was a tad embarrassing for me.

Finally I decided to use something that my first boss taught me.

' Name association.'

Anyway, back to Debbie... Oh, I meant to say DIANE.

Desperate and embarrassed at this point I was forced to use 'name association.'

Here is how I did it.

Diane is 'loaded' , not on booze, with money. Her husbands.

She dresses over the top. Everything is the most expensive that you can find.

She drives a JAG, her hair is always coiffed perfectly, and she is thin and tanned (or sprayed tan).

She sports a golf ball sized diamond on the hand she wears her Presidential  Rolex. On the other hand, ears fingers etc she wears the latest trend in fine jewelry.

Did I mention she is (on the surface anyway) very very nice?

No really, she is nice.

I have never seen her face move out of a slight smile when she is talking with other people.

She has had 'work' done. I know that.

Diane, like me, is 'Jewish Lite.'

Hence the name I finally gave her to remember her real name.

PRINCESS DIANA.

Ta dah!!!!!

F@$^ ing Brilliant!

Easy as pie.

I have never forgotten her name since.

ps guys...I maybe Jewish, but I am no Princess.

(only in my dreams)

The pattern on these pieces is called a Suzani Pattern.

So 'Serendipity' , NYC (a restaurant)

Someone please pass me their frozen hot chocolate please.

I just need a sip!!!!!

Oh yeah, about Suzani Patterns;

(oh susannah...don't you cry for me)

The word 'Suzani' is the Persian or Farsi word for needle and refers to textile panels embroidered with silk thread. The suzani was an integral part of a woman's artistic expression in Central Asia for hundreds of years. Traditionally, as soon as a girl was born her mother would start embroidering the suzani for her. As the daughter grew older, she would join in the process. The suzani would eventually become a part of her dowry and be used to decorate her home.

They are HOT HOT HOT right now.

I dig them.

Do you like the pattern?

How do you remember names?

I just used this pattern in a different color-way on some pillows on the job I installed yesterday.

I will take pictures and SHOW &TELL you later.
