I decided my stitching life needs to set aside certain projects that I can work on when my hands need to stitch but my brain doesn't need to make decisions. The holidays tend to make this even more urgent.
So, at the moment, I have started the bargello pattern for the Flame Stitch Pocket, a class that Jackie du Plessis taught at Sassy Jack's awhile back. Once the first row was in, the rest is just following the pattern.
I'm going to move to a red family, then a green family, then a blue family--then the color progression will begin again.
And the silk colors are simply beautiful.
They make me happy. And happy is much better than stressed.
