Default hello again

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

Default hello again

Good to see you Sue. It is always nice to get pieces finished. I need to
do the framing on a lot of stitched pieces and I have enough stash for 10
people to be able to stitch in a lifetime. Hope you stay around.

I agree! If we didn't need the money to supply our fixes, life would be
much better!

Glad you did! We'll be watching for the announcements of more finishes...

A belated congrats!!!

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
