Don't Hate Me

Yesterday, I was sitting in the sun in the back yard enjoying a trashy novel and today it's gloomy and rainy...but still warm.  Okay, so I really shouldn't be complaining since I'm wearing short sleeves and I haven't used snow tires in over a decade.  In fact, this is excellent stitching weather...then again, I don't need an excuse to stitch. 

And to make you even more jealous, I'm packing for a stitching vacation!  Tomorrow morning I am heading north to Laura's house where we will spend almost a week indulging ourselves in our favorite activities...stitching, eating, stitching, sleeping, stitching, watching TV, stitching...  You get the idea.  As of right now, I have only packed two projects in my stitching bag.  You guessed it...Pigalle and SoHRH.  But the day is not over yet.  I recently started pruning some of my charts.  Other than pride of ownership, I have no reason to keep charts that I've already stitched.  I even found a few that I admit I'll never stitch.  Unfortunately, I still have hundreds (at least I hope it's only hundreds) of samplers still begging for my time and attention.  This may be the reason I'm considering adding something else to my bag for the trip.  I found so many things I want to start RIGHT NOW! 

But for the moment, I continue to work on SoHRH.  I'm not done with the big ship yet, but it's coming along.  Stitching time has been at a premium this week due to increased activity on my Etsy shop.  That's a good problem to have and I thank all of you who've visited my shop
