In my part of the world we say you are a fool if your passion for a pursuit overcomes all practical sense. I am a stitching fool, and I stitch foolishness.

Almost another flower

 Here's the second big-ish flower on page 3.

 

I was moaning and groaning to a friend that it seems to take forever to make any progress on the motifs I'm currently stitching. She said she thought that I was actually getting more done than I thought because

  • everything is Queen stitch, which takes longer than just plain old cross stitch
  • these are not tiny motifs (and all done in Queen stitch--see above)
And she suggested that I photograph each area I complete during a stitching session so I could see how much I've actually done. She also said I should post the pics on my blog because she was tired of checking to see if I had written anything only to find I hadn't. This way I would have a blog post on a more regular basis than I have in the last few months.

I do appreciate a regular reader, and I haven't been blogging as much as I'd like.

I was concerned that I was only going to have Queen stitch motifs to show, and that is boring after awhile, but I realized that I am starting three online classes in January, and have another starting in March, and a group correspondence course starting sometime in the new year, and I've decided to try my hand at WIPGO this year to empty out the finishing basket.

Actually, the question may not be whether or not I have content, or whether or not I'll have time to blog if I keep up with all this stuff and nonsense.

There's a reason I'm a stitching fool.
