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.

Looks Like Spring

 Yeah, I know what the calendar says, but my flowering shrub looks like spring!

I think I need to move on to part of Carmen's never-ending border next, as much as I'd like to work on a few more motifs. I remember that Jackie said she had left the border for last, and thought she would never, ever get it done--so I'm trying to get bits of it finished as I work along the side.

I used to be a do-the-whole-border-first kind of person--eat the broccoli before you get to the creme brûlée--but I'm finding my stitching is more accurate if I do a little at a time. I will never enjoy doing borders, but they're more likely to match up if I work them as I work the insides.

Now if I could just figure out a way to enjoy stitching letters and numbers . . .
