Glad Tidings is moving along steadily but each time I hold it out to look at the progress I've made, I just don't seem to see as much as I think I should! Oh well. At least I know I'm working diligently on it! My goal is still to have this piece finished by the time DST begins so I need to get really busy! There are just so many of these leaves! I think I will be doing them just a little different than the chart calls for.
Shame, shame, shame on me! I have so many beautiful designs waiting to be stitched from magazines and freebies that I have not yet done! I could say that I will stop buying new designs and only work from all of these plus all my on hand charts that are patiently waiting in line but who would I be kidding!! I may have to cut back due to the economy but just to stop buying charts is enough to make me laugh hysterically!
I have my next 4-5 starts picked out! Now I need to go buy the threads so that I can kit them all up. But I will save them as a surprise for when I start on each of them!
Speaking of surprises, I got a phone call yesterday along with a wonderful surprise! I am so excited but am sworn to secrecy for now. I should be able to divulge everything sometime this week though!
I read Vonna's post and was in total agreement with her! I only get my hair trimmed about every 3 months and get it trimmed shorter than I like so the cut will last longer. I only buy a few new shirts and maybe a pair of jeans once or twice a year. I am very frugal about buying things that pertain to me but I want to buy my hobby supplies! My hobbies make me happy!
Until my next post, stay safe, safe warm and stay well!
I know your pain with buying. I might get a haircut once or twice a year, and clothes only come when the first set is worn out.
ReplyDeleteBut I've got as many drawers of stitchy stuff as I do of clothes!
I think you're making great progress!
Glad Tidings is coming along great. It's such a nice project.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you over Vonna's post. Stitchers seem to have different priorities - drawers full of stash are much better than drawers full of clothes, lol. For me the only question is: Do I buy books or new stash. And it's a tricky question when you love books as much as sticthing stuff. Believe me, lol.
Amen Sherry :) I'm with you! Life is short and everyone has to have something to bring them happiness, and if it is stitching well good for us! Right!?
ReplyDeleteI think you WIP is going along fast and you should be proud! You'll get it done by Saturday, I know you will :)
Great progress on Glad Tidings.
ReplyDeleteI whole heartedly agree with you about buying stash. As soon as I do the bulk of the bills than what's leftover is for me. My biggest problem? Stitching stash or my favorite authors newest book? :)
Love the progress, it is looking fabulous!! I have a ton of things that i will never stitch either, but just having that pattern collection is a great thing! It makes me happy!! LOL

ReplyDeleteI'm with you here, too. I'll wear the same thing over and over if it means I have more cash for my addiction (stitching).
ReplyDeleteGT is coming along nicely!
