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.

I am the boss of me

 I know that I said the Spot Sampler was going to be my Sampler Sunday project and would be worked on only on Sunday.

So far I've broken that declaration twice. Today was the second time.

I planned to work on something else today, but I started thinking about how long each one of these motifs takes to stitch. I finally figured out that at the present rate, it could take me as long as four years to complete the sampler. I really don't want to spend every Sunday for four years on the same sampler, so I decided that I can spend another day or two a week on it if the mood prevails.

After all, when it comes to my stitching, I am actually the boss of me and can do what I want!

Plus, I'm retired and I don't have to meet arbitrary deadlines or performance metrics. After working for so long, I have a problem remembering that sometimes.
