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.

Icky-Poo

 This has not been the most productive stitching day I've ever had.

I did not sleep well last night, so I woke up achey and cranky this morning. My arthritic joints were united in their unhappiness so I took a pill and went back to bed for a bit--which meant I got a very late start to the day. Don't even ask how late the start was--let's just say I could barely say "Good Morning" legally.

Anyway, I decided that perhaps I shouldn't work on anything complicated or challenging, so good ole Ann Kemp came out to play.

There is a bird on each side now, and I filled in more of the flowers.  I need to add more greenery and flowers on the right side so I can turn the scroll bars and move down a bit.

And then I went rummaging in the stash, looking for something else entirely, and I ran across this:

From the 1998 session of Christmas in Williamsburg, Merry Cox's Americana Sewing Case floated to the top of its bin.

Well, 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the United States, and, as worried as I am about the state of the country, I do believe that there are enough people of good will to help it survive. Therefore, I plan to celebrate. So this is now going into my 2026 plans.

And, yes, I'm already planning what I'll stitch in 2026.

I should probably get what I plan to stitch the rest of 2025 out of the way first.
