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.

Another Lovely Lady


I am sitting in a hotel room with this lovely lady from a class with Merry Cox a couple of years ago.

She now has a tree and some grass and part of a fence.  The fence and I are not cooperating, so I think it's time for me to go to bed and forget about it. 

Actually, I am thrilled to have this much done. I make this trip four times a year, and, if you've been reading this blog for awhile, you may remember that I frequently forget something necessary for stitching success when I make the quarterly trek. This time I have needles, instructions, threads, magnification, and scissors, as well as the linen itself. Eventually it all had to work out.

Speaking of reading blogs, there is something I have been wondering about. When you read a blog, how often do you like finding new posts? Do you like daily or almost daily updates?  Or do you prefer weekly or every-other-week postings?  Or do you enjoy infrequent but much longer postings? Inquiring minds want to know . . .

  1. I'll be watching to see what your readers say about blog frequency. I like to read something every day, even if it is short. I don't read hundreds, but the ones I like, I like. Some I subscribe by email, some I have listed on my blog so I can see when they update. Thanks for asking.

  2. So glad that you are able to settle in to your hotel room to get some stitching done.
    I just like anytime updates, with pics. If a post is really long I can get distracted.

  3. I have 25 or so blogs on the blog list sidebar of my own blog, so I have something to read every day. Sometimes only three or four have updated in a given day, sometimes a few more. For myself, I tend to post every other day though lately I find the interval can be as much as three days between postings. It's all a function of what I have to say and how busy I am with other things. I suggest you go at whatever pace is comfortable for you.

  4. I do not prefer long posts. I do not prefer daily posts either. So that is not what I do. BUT you need to do what is comfortable for YOU. =)

    I like this current stitch you are working on.

  5. Your lady and tree are lovely! It's so nice when you actually remember to bring along all the stuff you need!
    I do not especially like to read a daily post especially if it's about what someone had for lunch or whatever. If they have something fun to share, stitching to show, or something else of interest, that's when I like to see a post. I can't imagine posting every day, or even every few days... I work full time and am way too busy for that. I do like longer posts but I love seeing pics, too!

  6. Personally I post every day. This is just part of my routine and a gift to the folks who tell me Blog is part of their daily routine, too. However, when it comes to reading other blogs (I follow about 325) I like those that post weekly and have something to say about their stitching. I love learning new things but I know it's not possible to have that sort of posting all the time. I will miss you if you don't post as often, though. Your cheery words make me laugh often, just when I need it.

  7. Glad to see someone is as far along as me on this Merry Cox piece..LOL I like at least 3-4 times per week blogs. I like your pictures as well. The posts should be interesting and about stitching or exciting things rather than the mundane stuff. I live the mundane and I like yours cuz you and I have the same projects and apparently touch them the same amount.

  8. I just finished this lady last December. She is still sitting with her companions waiting for finishing :(

  9. P>S> I post once per week.

    That way there is some stitching progress to share and maybe some other interesting tidbit (i.e. new stash, dd's stitching, etc)

  10. I love to hear from you every other day or so. I am terrible at doing my own blog but like the updates and enjoy your sense of humor.
