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.

Still more to go

Because of my incredible inability to accurately determine how long any project will take, I still have the two rows of small diamonds on my needle case left to complete.


With my usual optimism, I thought I would be to the point of putting this thing together by now.

I was incorrect in my assumption.

And I wish I could let go of the habit of setting deadlines for myself. Even in retirement, I can't stop. I wonder how long it will take . . .

  2. Oh Ann, almost there! You're too hard on yourself, though. Enjoy the journey (she says to herself all the time!). BTW your stitching is beautiful.

  3. Deadlines I believe is a personality trait....not sure we can get rid of it whether working or retired! But know there is always tomorrow.
