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.

A little of this, a little of that

 I had to take a day off from stitching to let my wrists rest, and then I was very careful and stopped as soon as things started to twinge.

But I have the beginning of another tiny motif on RST:

And I had the first class on the Napoleonic Goldwork motif from Liz Tapper.

We started by stitching the cording and string down for some of the padding. Then we did a wee bit of stitching with passing thread--all seven leaves have to be stitched, although we only have to have one done before next week's class.

But meanwhile, I need to put on my Domestic Diva attire and get some laundry done, and corral the dust bunnies, and think about meals for the next day or so.

I'd rather be stitching.

  1. Good for you on stopping when the wrist twinges, Ann! You are off to a good start on the goldwork piece. The motif on RST is looking good.

    1. After last year, I'm not going to push anything. I'd rather stitch a little and have to stop rather than stitch not at all.
