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.

Doing my homework

 We had a mid-term break in the online crewel class I'm taking. We also had a LOT of homework to do before we resume classes this coming Tuesday.

And of course I procrastinated.

So today I've been stabbing linen with a sharp needle, and I'm about halfway through the assignment.

My eyes and hands are getting tired, and I'm starting to make mistakes, so I think I better set this aside tonight. This leads to a dilemma. Tomorrow is Sampler Sunday. Monday we are going back to see our "old" dentist since Dearly Beloved needs a root canal--this will be a day-long trip since we also want to get there early enough to have lunch at our favorite Japanese restaurant. I don't think I'd have enough time Tuesday morning to finish everything. I think I'm going to have to sacrifice Sampler Sunday to get this done. Phooey!

Meanwhile, thanks to the readers who are voting on my Christmas ornament decision. I'm going to wait a couple of days to tabulate the results to give anyone else who might be interested a chance to weigh in. So far, from what I can tell, the numbers are very close.

  1. Can you take the crewel piece with you on the trip to the dentist, Ann? Or you could finish up your homework assignment and then do Sampler Sunday. Your piece is looking fabulous.

  2. Your pieces, your rules. We need to be flexible with our stitching schedules because things happen.
