I've decided that 2026 will be the year of Serendipitous Stitching Joy--basically, as I mentioned a day or so ago, I'm going to stitch what I want when I want without deadlines or schedules or goals.
As in, today I have put a few stitches into the Flame Stitch Pouch project, which is my want-to-stitch-but-don't-want-to-think project. It is coming along nicely, and I really, really, really love the colors.
And, in the middle of the night, I had an epiphany.
I was thinking about my Blessing Sampler. I thought about the stitches involved and the different areas, and I started planning what I would do each week to have it done by the end of January.
Full Stop.
Had I not just decided that I would not work toward any kind of goal or deadline?
And yet here I was, back in pre-retirement employee mode: Plan the Work, then Work the Plan.
Nope, nope, nope.
So, there is now going to be no Blessing Sampler. I am going to consider stitching every day the blessing and the joy. I should probably go about doing that in the rest of my life as well.
