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

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.

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


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

A belated congrats!!!

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!

That doesn't sound fun *at all*!!!

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.
