I made a small poster tonight and matted and framed it, as well. It features one of my favorite phrases:

It’s from Horace’s Odes and it translates as “Now is the time for drinking”. As in, “eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” As in, get up out of your seat and do all the things you want to do!

I also made a companion poster which shows the proper response to “Nunc est bibendum”:

It means “neither delay nor rest”, also saying, “Fool, get started now!”

I thought I could finish a place mat in an hour trying out my newly learned afghan stitch, but barely made a washcloth. I think the point of this exercise is to complete a project in an hour. If that’s the case, I’ve failed miserably. However, I did learn how to do a new crochet stitch, so it’s not a lost cause after all.
