A lovely Strands today with a rare long word that I can actually spell – EMBROIDERY.

Depending on your taste, all of the CLOTHING ACCENTS in today’s puzzle either power-up a garment to another level of glam or destroy a perfectly decent piece of clothing.

Personally, I’m all for pimping clothes and have spent many a happy hour with my daughters sewing and sticking sequins onto anything they wanted them added to – from hats to socks. And then many years afterwards, after dreams of becoming a mermaid have long faded, finding random sequins under furniture like finding pine needles in the month after Christmas.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
