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.

Change in plans

 I was going to work on goldwork today. I had firmly decided that.

But then I slept in . . . again . . . sometimes staying in bed in the winter under the blankets is almost impossible to overcome. . .and then I needed to balance the checkbook and pay a couple of bills . . . and then I puttered around in the kitchen for awhile and planned meals for the next couple of days . . . and then I fell into a book and by the time I climbed out, goldwork was not going to happen.

But I did put a few strands into my blessing sampler, so I do have something needlework-related to show for today:

One of my very favorite stitching buddies (Hi, Sharon!) made a point of stitching at least one thread every day last year. I decided to do my best to do the same this year, even though I'm not setting any goals, etc, etc, etc. I don't count that as a goal, simply a lifestyle choice.
