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.

Frozen

 The weather is frigid and Miss Crankypants doesn't care for it. 

I didn't stitch yesterday because, with everything I have that I want to stitch, I didn't want to work on any of it. I was downstairs most of the day, and our first floor is significantly colder than the second--probably that open floor plan that makes this area about as cavernous as a barn and about as hard to heat.

I mentioned to Dearly Beloved that we could move the Dazor upstairs and I could stitch in bed, which is the one place that is currently cozy and warm. He stated firmly that he would prefer that our bed remain a needle-free zone, and I do have to admit I understand his point of view.

Today I had two online stitch-ins, one with the Carolinas Region of EGA, the other a special interest group sponsored by EGA that focuses on surface stitching.

While I was in the Region stitch-in, I finished another band of drawn thread for Love That Red.

I worked on a Christmas ornament during the surface embroidery stitch-in, but at the moment it doesn't look like much other than a bunch of leaves, and I didn't take a picture of it.

I believe tonight I'll try to get another band of drawn thread done. At some point, I need to work on my online whitework class. I have homework, and I need to finish last week's motifs.

But not today. Miss Crankypants isn't in the mood to think that much.
