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.

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jog

 I have returned from my week away.

It was wonderful. I got to see old friends, made new ones, had wonderful meals out, spent quality time with BDE, took an online class from Kate Barlow while I was there, took advantage of the opportunity to attend two stimulating and intriguing lectures--and stitched a little!

RST's center cartouche is finally finished.

Bless her heart, just when I thought I was making some progress, she threw in another tendril or bud or decided to outline a motif or do something out of the ordinary. But she is done.

I had planned to come home and stitch from morning to night--I was just that energized--but I also came home with a virus of some sort. I was afraid it was the flu at first, but it seems to be going away (it was not Covid, I checked), leaving me feeling as old as water and twice as weak. 

So I'm going to continue to relax and recuperate and start counting the days until the next expedition.

  2. Can't wait to hear about your trip. I'm sure it was so energizing, but a good trip usually needs a day to recuperate.....or 2 if you had too much fun!
