I know I said yesterday that I was in a No-Stitch Zone, but last night, my fingers needed to do something even if my brain was not in the right place.
So, what is the least brain-taxing thing I can do?
I went upstairs and pulled out one of the Merry Cox kits I unearthed as I unpacked. And then I sat in my corner and did Nun stitch for the border.
I'm not a big fan of Nun stitch--sadly, I discovered just how easily it can pull out--but it was just the sort of stitching I needed to do. Almost auto-pilot . . .
Then, today we had one of our EGA Regional stitch-ins, and I picked up my crewel project:
Not much more, and the trunk will be finished and I can move on to a prettier color. And also, I can do this without thinking too much.
Tomorrow we get flu shots, so we'll see if I can stitch or unpack with a sore arm. Just when I was getting back in a stitching mood!
Pretty Merry Cox piece you worked on, Ann! Your crewel work piece is looking good.
