It is beyond my comprehension that I have fallen so deeply back down the cross stitch rabbit hole. I guess it shouldn't surprise me. Cross stitch has always been one of the top three things I love to do. Dare I say it may even be the #1 thing.
I have now completed my fourth finish of 2018 with oh so many more planned. In addition to the Bent Creek Winter House finish I posted back on January 31st, I have now completed the following:
A-Wassailing by Shakespeare's Peddler
A mystery sampler (there's a reason this needs to be a mystery for now)
Come Let Us Adore Him by Lizzie*Kate
(please excuse the wonkiness ... poor positioning)
I have just started stitching Joy to the World, another Lizzie*Kate design.
The owners of 123 Stitch, Down Sunshine Lane, The Silver Needle, Stitching Bits & Bobs, Stitch & Frog, & another online shop or two are dancing with glee at my return.
I do miss sitting in my comfy old recliner in my wonderful farmhouse in paradise, stitching away with Sophie curled up in my lap or purring by my feet. Good times, good times. Stitching in my uncomfy new recliner here at Mold & Fungus House, thousand-leggers scurrying along the floor every now & then, just isn't the same.
I have not given up on knitting but it has taken second place. I recently started a pair of socks to work on when I'm away from home, sitting in the car while John immerses himself in various Half Price Books stores, or sitting in doctor & dentist waiting rooms. I would take my stitching with me but I am blind as a bat without my daylight magnifying lamp.
I hope everyone is doing well. It is almost the end of February & you know what that means. Soon it will be time for us to move again. Another year of renting ahead of us. Oh joy. Not sure where we will end up of course, but the front runners at this time are back to the Lexington area or back to Tennessee.
