… out of your day! I had a long day at work yesterday, came home and crashed out on the couch. Barely did any stitching at all. And here I am again today, tired but not really, bored but having lots of work to do. I just don’t understand myself sometimes. So, I’m assuming that I will go home and nap again today, wasting even more of my time.
On the stitching front, I’ve started my piece on Catherine-Michele’s RR fabric. I’m chipping away at it and it seems like it might take a while, but I do have 3 weeks to stitch it before I hand it over to Cathy at CATS in Hershey. During my commute over the last two days, I have been working on the backstitched outline on the blackwork pieces I stitched the other week. Then I will trim the top and bottom pieces and start putting together the biscornus. In fact, I finished the outline on the first piece this morning, so I will probably put it together tonight, if I don’t sleep the night away.
Oh and I broke my No Stash until CATS goal today. 🙁 Karen is having a stash sale and I couldn’t pass up some of the silks. I bought some brands I’d never tried before. Oh well, I’m just proving that I’m particularly weak in willpower right now, but I already knew that. I was able to console myself with the fact that at least I didn’t buy any of her charts, even though the Dancing on the Moon was calling my name VERY loudly. At least I just bought supplies and not something else to stitch!
LOL! Yes, Karen’s stash sale is very tempting! 😉
Hope you’ll feel more perky today! 🙂
Ah it’ll be ok – we’ll concentrate on charts at CATS 🙂
I know how you feel about sleeping. With the new job, I have an hour and a half to two hour commute – it drains a person surprisingly thoroughly. I came home yesterday and started out resting with an ice pack over my eyes and ended up waking up this morning! Oops!
Hubby and I have our house up for sale so that we can move someplace that will provide a more reasonable commute for me, but until then I’m afraid my stitching will suffer seriously.
Hang in there…only a couple of weekends to CATS!
I couldn’t comment on your post about the piece you finished for your Grandmother. I’m sure she’ll be very proud to receive it Jenna, it’s beautiful.
LOL, it’s hard to give up the stash… isn’t it??
Helping Karen clear out stash isn’t really breaking your “no stash till CATS” rule – it is more like “helping out a friend”!! LOL
Oh man … I’ve been off the wagon too long. i am going to get the Ornament magazine + the Stitcher’s Day Out kit from House of Stitches. I was going to attend Stitcher’s Day Out [9/30] & found out Alex has to be at the school from 1-5.
It is a Brightneedle class project — an acorn needlebook.
We need to master bi-location … is that possible???
