I woke up grouchy and grumpy and head-achey this morning. I decided almost immediately that threading a needle would not be a good idea. Dearly Beloved decided that maybe he would go ahead and get the car inspected this morning rather than waiting until Friday so he would be out of the line of fire. That was a wise decision.
Generally, a bad mood can be cured by a regimen of stitching, but today having a sharp, pointy object in my hands was not the remedy I needed.
So I rummaged through the stash--the fallback when I'm in a Mood.
I pulled a couple of kits out of the stash that have been calling to me.
Betsy Morgan's "This One's for Betty" has been aging in the stash for 20 years. I think it was offered by the long-lamented Swan Sampler Guild. This is one of the Betsy projects that's been jumping up and down and waving at me. The other is the Sweet Bag that Inspirations published a couple of issues ago. I decided that Betty had been waiting long enough, so the kit is in the pile by my chair.
Sarah Ann Purdy 1844 was one of the 2025 Country Sampler Threads Through History projects. It's my favorite kind of schoolgirl samplers--mostly little motifs, very few letters, no big honkin' house. It's in the pile, too.
I believe that I may work on All That Glitters in a little while since my mood is gradually improving.
Or I may iron the linen for both new projects and sew them to scroll bars.
Or I may just sit in the corner and growl.
