I get so involved reading other blogs, I don't think about posting on my own. It is so exciting to me that people have actually left me comments! I BELONG!!
I am working on the Village of Hawk Run Hollow. I've enjoyed seeing the progress some other stitchers are making on this pattern. In fact, it was seeing Margie's pictures and progress that inspired me to stop dreaming of doing it and actually order the pattern.
I notice that others work a block at a time, which makes sense I guess, but I tend to skip around. I have outlined a few squares and I work on one and then skip over to another.
[I guess I'm an ADD stiticher!] Yesterday I went to a friends house and we watched Dream Girls while she knitted and I stitiched. As a high school chorus teacher, it is seldom that I have an afternoon free from rehearsals to just sit and stitch with a friend.
I find it interesting that many of you schedule your stitching and have monthly goals. Does that not make it more stressful than relaxing?
I am going to try to figure out how to post pictures this weekend. Maybe I can show you what I have accomplished on 'the village'.
Happy stitching! Jane

Well, I have decided to join the rest of the world and become a blogger. I stumbled upon some blogs by stitchers and found them so interesting, that I was convinced to join in the fun. [I can just hear my children laughing at me.] It pleased me to see that my stitching habits are not so uncommon....for instance, I just finished a huge Old World Santa Claus that I started when I was pregnant with my son, who will be 30 in three weeks. Can anyone top that? It was NOT fun to work on, so I would work on it for a very LITTLE while and put it away again.
I do other things beside stitching.
*I teach high school choral music - there I have 160 kids - and I have two children of my own that both live far away.
*I love to read mysteries - "cozy mysteries" they are called. [I would love to retire, move to Cabot Cove, Maine and help Jessica Flethcer solve her mysteries.]
*Knitting is something else I enjoy - I have a scarf in every color and yarn imaginable, and have finally moved on to larger projects.
I am pretty 'computer illiterate', so now I am going to try to figure out how to post this.
