Knitting Or Needlework...

My Current Embroidery In Progress
 

While yesterday was much warmer than Tuesday, it's still that season where Wisconsin is not as balmy as our former January days in Florida. That means, I'm more likely to spend my time indoors than out.

Sometimes it's no blessing to have so many options for occupying my time. (Of course, I say that tongue-in-cheek. My blessings overflow and for that, I'm grateful.) The top of the list right now would be completing either this embroidery or that second sock. 

Handsome and I had a lovely meal and visit with our neighbor, Mary Jane yesterday. We were invited for lunch, and it was late afternoon when we got back home. We had such a nice time, but by the time we took care of the dogs, it was time to make our evening meal (we usually eat at 7 pm). Then I caught up on a few other necessary tasks. As a result, I neither knitted nor embroidered.

I have studio work today, but I'm actually scheduling time for handwork so I'm not just spending time at the computer. I have items to list in my Etsy shop, which takes time. My alarm will go off to tell me when it's time to back away from that so I can play. Let's see if I can finish that sock.

  2. I love having options too. I usually spend my days in my sewing room putzing with fabrics and threads and the evenings are in front of the tv with either my knitting, crochet or a good book. Certainly not hard to find something to do!

    1. Oh, MA:
      We're soul sisters! I love to spend my days in the same scenario! There's no such thing as "bored" here at the farmhouse.
      I hope you have a great weekend.

  3. My Grandma always had at least three projects going all at once…knitting, crochet, etcetera. She said it was so she didn’t get bored. I can hardly do one project at a time. Enjoy your day of work and play.
