Thank Goodness for the Super Bowl Pre-Game

I got some REAL stitching done yesterday because by 2:00 p.m. I was sitting on my duff and the needle was flying!  I know the game didn't start until 6:30, but I felt I really needed to hear all the blow-hards, I mean commentators, tell me everything I never needed to know and had already heard, about New Orleans, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning.  In fact, the only thing they didn't tell me was the color of Peyton's jockey shorts, which I'm guessing are tidy whities.

Fortunately, I use the TV like a radio most of the time so it's just background noise.  Okay, so I really just needed to justify all those extra hours of stitching.  It worked.


I made lots of progress on Pigalle and it's going to be real hard to stop and go on to block four of SoHRH.  I am loving this so much that I have a real bad case of "just one more stitch". I might even start stitching during daylight hours!

Let's Get Back to MY Stitching


Because frankly, it's all about me. I know I said I was getting used to having multiple projects going, but the fact is I'm having so much fun with "Pigalle" that I'm not ready to switch back to SoHRH.  Maybe as soon as I finish page 2 (very close) I'll switch back. The left side of my brain really needs that symmetry and feeling of logical completion. Apparently, I have totally gone over to the dark side yet.
I've completed most of the navy base stitching on pages 1 and 2 and now I'm filling in with all those luscious colors that I changed.  I should have a really good feel for how the whole thing is going to work together by the time the Colts take the Super Bowl!
