A stitch in time

Re-learning the lazy daisy stitch on a piece of silk and a teabag. Once I got this old adage in my head I couldn’t get rid of it so I wrote it on the magazine piece glued to a gel printed card. 

I had to look up the meaning because my mother would quote this one to me often. She used it to reference my slowness at performing some task (cuz I didn’t want to and was dreading doing it like “go clean your room”!)
