Seriously...

Am I in need of therapy?  While cleaning my studio, I peeked into the basket of "starts"...little did I know there were so many!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not feeling any guilt.  After all, "keeps me out of the bars and off the streets" to quote a family member.  There really isn't a lot of money involved here...just a lot of stitching.  Stitching, gardening, reading and now finish work are passions.  Just need to nurture the passions.

The goal this year is to work on clients' finish work during the day and stitch during the evening.



First 2015 "Finely Finished" finishes shipped.



Seriously, what are your passions?

I love your designs and the colors you are using. It made my heart miss stitching alittle. I have not stitched since my Mother passed away. I think I lost my "want to." The last thing I stitched was for her. I have some starts but I am not sure that I will pick my needle back up...but I enjoy watching what you are doing. Dianntha

Apart from my two grandchildren who are growing up far too fast, my passions are my cats (three) and dogs (two), stitching, patchwork and family history. They keep me sane (though some might doubt that!!

Lovely finishing, Joy--and I think your plan for finishing in the day and stitching at night sounds wonderful... I have very few starts as I've always been a one project at a time stitcher, but I am definitely addicted to stitching (and finishing is pretty fun, too--most of the time :)

Beautiful finishes, Joy!

My passions - sewing(clothes), stitching, painting (languishing a bit) gardening, reading... these all rotate as to who gets my attention most at a time!

Happy Sunday!

My passions are stitching, knitting and quilting - outside of my family of course! I refuse to feel guilty about what I have unfinished too. I find therapy in the "doing". Definitely a stress reliever!

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times!  This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others.  Although, I did finish the witch seven times.  No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

Ending and beginning. . .

Each new year fills my heart with reflections on the old and expectations for the new.  While taking down the tree this morning, thoughts of  "Will I always put up a tree?" came to mind.  How could I not?  Each ornament has its own story to tell. Even Annie was a little sad to see the tree go. . . However, starting the new year stitching was a perfect way to bring in 2012.  Thank you Beth ( Heartstring Samplery ) for providing this lovely little chart .  Will you make new memories and remember the old?
