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.

Thinking and more thinking

 I spent three hours on the phone this morning dealing with various and sundry financial things. There are times when you have to do that--today was one of those times. After that, I needed to sit in the corner and rock and drool for a bit. When I recovered, the only thing I was capable of stitching was tent stitch over one on No Place Like Home.

I still have more to do, but at least I don't have to work around numbers.

And I spent some time thinking about stitching in general and blogging about stitching.

What I concluded is that I want to continue stitching and blogging, but I have to figure out how I want to do both. If I don't stitch I don't blog. At the same time, when I'm working on only one project at a time, the blog can become very boring

I came to no conclusions, so I thought I would ask for suggestions. And I may try a few things to see if any of them work.

(Please keep in mind that I have decided I need to finish some things because the number of projects I want to stitch keeps increasing while the number of finishes seems to be decreasing. Sigh . . . )

  2. I have read blogs for a number of years and have continued even when many moved over to Facebook and Instagram. To me, reading blogs is like sitting at the table over coffee (or whatever beverage) and visiting. I have several blog friends who continue to blog because it is a means of keeping a journal/record of life's happenings. I'm here for whatever you want to post and share, Ann.

      Thank you for the kind words. I feel like it's a good way to keep track of what I was doing (or not doing) when--and a way to share the joys and frustrations of stitching away through life.

      Thank you for the kind words. I'll just keep on as I have been--mostly stitching, even if it is the same project forever! However, there will be a major happy dance when this band is finished.

  4. I come here for the stitching and am never bored by a large project. That being said, I truly enjoy the minutiae of your every day life. It’s funny and interesting and I wouldn’t mind more of it.

      I am relieved to hear that you don't get bored by a large project--I've done whole pieces with fewer stitches than this band! And I'll keep putting in the daily life stuff as well. Glad you enjoy it!
