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.

Happy Black Friday!

 No, I am not out and about in the shopping madness and frenzy. I am sitting at home, wrapped in an afghan because it's cold and getting colder, and I've been watching Flosstubes and the Crewel Work Company Zoom demonstrations (all weekend! how cool is that!) and threading a needle or two.

And at the moment, I am avoiding looking at my worktable where the following can be seen:

I have finishing to do on Betsy Morgan's Christmas Treats and Alison Cole's Elizabethan Rose, and I need to embellish Tricia Nguyen's Christmas Garland and put it together.

And I still have the new Barbara Jackson ornament to stitch, plus a couple more on my list for this year.

AND today's mail is supposed to bring a model for me to stitch--all Queen stitch, which I love to do--from Cissy Bailey Smith of Gentle Pursuit Designs.

And the rest of the tree needs ornamentifying and the halls need to be decked.

I have plenty to do, so I'd best get to it.

(I have been asked where I've been for almost two weeks. The November Nasties got me this year but good. Not enough sun, too many gray days--some years it hits and this year it did. It doesn't usually last too long and I think I'm over it, but I may keep the Christmas lights on until March. Or April, Or maybe May.)

  1. I was less than happy with my finish on Betsy Morgan’s Christmas Treats although I followed her instructions.
