Hello, friends -
I haven't been around in a long while, and thought I'd pop in and say hello. I'm telling you, full-time work really gets in the way of stitching time! But I keep at it (the stitching, that is), just much more slowly.
I've made myself a promise to finish WIPs before undertaking any major new pieces, and am proud that I finally finished Emie Bishop's "The Garden," which took several years of non-continuous stitching. I posted a photo on r.c.t.n.p in "Sue's folder". And Joan encouraged me to stop in and say hello after a long absence.
Just at the moment I'm working on some little bookmarks - using up scraps of fabric by hemstitching around and cross stitching a little something on it - and completing another WIP, a Nutmeg company Christmas cottage 3-D ornament. I did one two years ago that got first place in the state fair and I started this one at the same time, then didn't look at it again until two weeks ago. This week I've been cleaning out and rearranging the TV room where I have a lot of stash just piled around; in the coming week I'll be organizing it and choosing which WIP to tackle next. DH and I are getting to the "we REALLY have to think about downsizing" stage, so I have to get a handle on my stitching addiction!
Happy to see a bunch of familiar names still posting!
cheers, Sue
