Busy .....

Don't know about anyone else, but during this holiday season don't you
find yourself way too busy doing one thing or another ? There aren't
enough hours in the day, let alone for stitching. Sometimes I find
the only way I can get a stitching fix is by logging onto the
newsgroup and reading for a couple of minutes ;-( .... not that I
mind reading posts, you know, but it isn't the real thing and there
have been more days than not recently where that is as close as I can
get to a needle and thread some days ... Will be glad when events slow
down at some point ;-) ....

Oh for a few free minutes to stitch uninterrupted. Between hockey and making
sure DS gets his homework done, I get to clean and cook and do laundry and
______ (fill in the blank). But the cookies are done and off to work with
DH, all the teachers' gifts are done and in backpacks ready to go.

Same here, Julie! I think it's been about a week since I've picked up
a needle. I'm looking forward to Friday (our governor gave us the day
off--yippppeeee!!!!) as my time to finally relax. Well, at least until
about 3:30 when I have to start getting ready for my nephew's wedding
that evening! My DSis from CA will be coming that day, too, so I guess
the weekend won't be that relaxing! Maybe next week....

Same here, our governor gave us Friday off too, but unfortunately a friend
decided to get married that day at the last minute. She would love to have a
cross stitch piece as a gift, but only gave me a week's notice right before
Christmas. Sorry about her luck. So, I'll be serving rather than stitching.
