What have I gotten myself into
This is one of the books that is inspiring me at the moment. There isn't enough life to fit all the methods I want to learn, I think God needs to grant me a life extension. How about you?
This is my current take along project, a stitch sampler where I experiment with different combinaitons of embroidery At top right I started a grape arbor in blackwork, but went off track and have had to rip most of it out. I hope you can enlarge it to look at the details. I also have one in sage green that I am working on to experiment with emboridery and beading combinations. Also trying sild ribbon embroidery on organza ribbon. I work slow compared to most of the women I admire who are doing this.
This is one I've completed that has a matching partner on red aida cloth. I need to find boxes that will fit them, like a large square jewelry box with glass on top for whatever you want to put in it from a photo to a piece of stitching.
I love poppies. This is a book mark I'm working on , and is on the smallest thread aida I could find. I have messed with it so much it is permanantly wrinkled and a tad stained, but I love it like a favorite doll.

On Magazines
I'm so sick of my addiction. I am addicted to being inspired. I have a car full of magazines on drawing, painting, sewing, quilting, mixed media art, embroidery. It is all eye candy. For all the magazines I have bought, I could have had new carpet twice, new furniture, lessons on all these topics, and pieces to show for it.
With an acidic gut, I hauled them all out, and now there is room to create! I think all of these years I've substituted being inspired for getting anything done.
I also do it in my Christian walk. I have so many devotional books and books on prayer that I have no time to pray or practice. I read them to set my mind at ease instead of taking the actions that would give me a serene mind.
No more magazines. No more devotional books
More action.
More prayer.
More real conversations,
More doing .
Less inspiration. .

Yobs Table Work
Most of my friends know I can't pay attention unless my hands are occupied and my foot is swinging. I move from one project to the next -:afghans, crocheted hats, crochet thread doilies and bookmarks, stitch samples that I do with the Take A Stitch Tuesday group and Sharon B's Band Sampler. I am hoping to start putting photos of ongoing projects on here, to share with all my friends, whichever blog we are on.
