WHEN IN DOUBT...

When I sat down to stitch last night, Stewey and I got into a heated discussion about what constitutes a proper stitchy basket.  It is his contention that one must spend hours and hours and hours of careful contemplation of exactly which projects will fit the mood, ability, and season of the particular stitcher in question.

Me?  Not so much.

I started Shepherd's Bush "Purple Snowman" last night because it was already on the q-snap thingies and I think the color of the linen is lovely.

Sometimes you just have to go with whatever blows your skirt up, right?

Stay tuned for what I'm sure will be a different opinion from You Know Who-sits.

  1. I say you stitch whatever gets you into the happy chair. And, it's always good to get the holiday themed things done before the finishing deadlines. Can't wait to see the progress on the basket.

  3. Purple is good, Stewey. I have been contemplating getting my snowmen out, too. Have fun, Coni!

  4. Stitch what blows your skirt up, I say…no offense to wee Stewey. I say, to each his own stitch basket…and I was asked by one Miss Teagan JRT to be sure to wish Stewey a Happy New Year.
    Hugs

  5. Have finished four ornaments ahead of the next Christmas. I feel that is enough for now. So something for me I think is in order. Soooo glad to see another post from Coni, who is my inspiration.

  6. Stewey, take a chill pill! For me, cross stitching is for my enjoyment . . . I'm not into all the challenges & exchanges because I hate pressure. I know a lot of folks do enjoy that part of it, though, & good for them! May the winds be strong & your skirts be light.

  8. Stitching should indeed be fun, relaxing and whatever is in the basket. Looking forward to seeing the snowman...and of course hearing from Stewey.

  11. Want to say I LOVE YOU TWO!!!!! Maybe Connie should stitch what she wants one day, and what Stewey wants the next.

  12. I agree. Stitch whatever catches your eye. As long as you are stitching is what counts.

  13. Coni, I hate to disagree with Stewey, but I do think you should stitch whatever floats your boat.
