Could it be possible? Does she actually still stitch? Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus… she’s just a little late with your gift. And the Virginia part is actually funnier because that’s my little sister’s name, for whom I stitched a graduation announcement to commemorate her high school graduation in June 2004. I finally finished stitching it tonight, scanned it and it’s ready to frame. I bought the frame a couple of months ago while Christmas shopping, so it hopefully won’t take too long for me to get it stretched and into the frame. Then I’ll have another month before I see my parents to have it relayed back to her, but at least it’s done!
Tomorrow, it’s back to the grind on a model. With any luck the timing will work out perfectly so that the missing floss for the design will arrive just when I’m ready for it. I think I’m starting to stitch faster, though poor Ginny’s graduation announcement isn’t proof of my theory. 😉 I’ve put an older WIP back into the rotation now, so I have two models, a SOLAK square, two ornaments, a pincushion and the WIP in the works while I’m waiting for supplies for an exchange project due in July.
Plus, I found the end of Journey to the Wild Divine: The Passage tonight. A good meditative, calming game to help close out the night. Since it really is a journey, with many meaningful points along the way, it’s not like a traditional game that I’ll probably never play again. There are some good exercises that I can continue to use for relaxation while I’m waiting for the next edition of the game to be released.
And, of course, my flute could use another dusting off. So many choices, so little time, so few of me! 🙂
