Christmas in March

Well, this year is off to a flying start. I can't believe that it is March and that I am still not cross stitching or crocheting as much as I wish. There is no time for me to get into a slump because I have stash to last me for lifetimes. So to this end I am going to post here, for the world to see (okay, only you for now) my cross stitching WIP... (work in progress, for the newbies... I was one too).



CHRISTMAS CHICKADEE (copyright V. Phiffer) I started this November 2006 and I will have this stitched for Christmas 2007. There are a few ways that I am thinking of finishing it and framing of course is one of them.

Thoughts of a SAL have been floating in my mind. Maybe I will start one with a friend or just stitch a bit each day by myself. That will be another post, I guess.

So, I wonder....(since this blog is pretty much about me and my stitching or lack thereof, I guess I am allowed) how it is that there are some stitchers that can stitch 100's of items a year and I barely get one stitched? Hmmmmmmm. Sometimes, I think I am bad because I don't stitch as much as I want to. I find other things to do such as read stitching blogs and stitching magazines. There is so much inspiration around me in those venues that I am awed and transfixed on the beauty of those creations that I just stare and do not stitch. I must wake up!!!! Start up the battery and STITCH!!!!!

Oh well, this year is a new start for me. I will stitch more, report progress more, stitch more, report...stitch ... report. You get the idea.

Off I go to make sure that the picture posted.....

Thanks for reading.
