Why...

Is it so much easier to start a project than finish?! We talk about stitching...don't we "jewel"? And we put in a stitch here and there...thanks Sharyn. Yet still, boredom sets in and we move on to that new found "got to have". Okay, maybe the word "we" is to ease the guilt I often have when tiring of one piece and moving on to another. Really, I do want to finish these pieces but far too often I find an excuse to move on.

Could it be I really want to start this?


I have stitched this sweet little sampler by Sheepish Designs several times. This particular one was stitched for me instead!

This too is a fun little sampler...I believe it to be a Twisted Threads.


And one of my all time favorites by Blackbird Designs found in their "Fine Collections" book. Very Spring like!
Does it really matter why? LOL

Oh, I love all of these!
You can say "we" with confidence...because there are many more of us out there with the same affliction. Startitis it's called? Or something like that, lol!

They are all so beautiful!!! Some are very close to being finished!!! I am working on some WIP's and I have decided I must finish (at least a few of them) before I move on!! But that could change at any given moment, as I fall in love quite often with all the needlework I view on all the blogs, but I enjoy looking at all the beautiful work that is shared!!! Thanks Joy, for sharing!!!

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?

Many...

Of you have been posting photos of your Christmas decorations, some even rethinking this year's decorating. Few changes take place here, which may seem boring, but I think of it as tradition.  Every year when I begin to decorate fond memories come to mind as I place each ornament, Santa and treasure in it's usual place. Yet simple as it may be, I did rearrange the deer tray and... The Santas came down from the mantle... Allowing one of my favorite samplers to shine without the clutter. What changes did you make this year?

Counting. . .

And counting the days, or should I say the months since I have posted.  I think of it often and do so enjoy seeing your posts.  Where does the time go? Life is becoming a new normal here and all is well.  I am, however, surprised that I even remember how to start a post.   Finely Finished  is now a full time job--not my favorite word.  Finish work is a passion for me (not a job) and I'm fortunate to have clients' that allow me to spend time in the studio and "create" using their finely stitched pieces.  And how fun to have someone say "do your magic"!   Strawberries seem to be a favorite to stitch these days.  With so many lovely designs, I can see why.  Erica Michaels' Quaker Strawberry  has passed through the studio in many color ways. Tell me. . .are you counting stitches or days?   Thank you for stopping by, looking forward to hearing from you.
