Monday rolls around again

 I know when you're retired that every day is Saturday, but this weekend seemed to zoom past me faster than the speed of light. And that's probably because I had one stitch-in, two EGA Special Interest Group meetings, and a lecture from Relics in Situ to attend, all from the comfort of my armchair.

It also meant that I was able to get a lot of stitching done.

During the SIG for surface embroidery, I stitched leaves and managed to get all the ones in the medium shade of green finished. In case you missed it, this is the vintage Elsa Williams kit of Paul Revere's ride. I've decided that it will be my travel piece since I don't need extra light or magnification, perfect for hotel room stitching.

And then there's my Sampler Sunday project:

It took a minute to fill in those humongous green leaves. I will not lie, it was boring, SO boring. I was glad to have the online conversations while I stitched. However, I am sorely tempted to go ahead and finish the flower today, and then I'll be ready to go to the next motif next Sunday.

And why not? I am the boss of me.

And I'm retired, so every day can be Sampler Sunday if I want it to be.
