I think there's a line in Elton John's "Rocket Man" that says something about "I miss the Earth, I miss my life".
Or, maybe it's supposed to be "wife". I don't know. Either way, all I know is that I miss my old life. I miss having an entire day to think about stitching and then do the actual stitching and then write about stitching and then do more of the thinking about stitching.
Stewey is completely miffed that we seem to have fallen into a terrible trap of....nothingness....that includes a lot of bad TeeVee and even worse meals. I suspect that if I don't clean up my act soon he's going to hit the road for greener pastures. (I swear I came home the other day to find him furiously stuffing smoking jackets into his little valise while simultaneously berating his stuffed toys for not being more helpful.)
The good news, though, is that I actually had wonderful dreams last night that I WAS stitching. Nothing too Earth-shattering, mind you. Just a very pleasant nine and a half hours of dreaming that I was sitting in a lovely comfy chair with a pretty blanket over my legs stitching away on something wonderful.
I awoke hopeful.
So here's to a Thursday on which I, the Spinster Stitcher Her Very Self, do so solemnly swear to pick up a needle and poke something with it before days' end.
How 'bout you?
It all starts with just one stitch! And then another will follow, and then another . . . . Good luck, and I hope happier days are ahead for you and Stewey.
ReplyDeletePlease do stitch and keep Stewey happy....would not want to think of him off on his own. Something tells me, that he will not go too far.
ReplyDeleteI just read through several months of you blog and am hoping you post again tomorrow. Just take one stitch ... and then just keep stitching ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteIt all begins with one stitch and the rest will follow. Give Stewey a scratch behind the ears from me.

You need to get your mojo back! I haven't stitched anything in 3 weeks, after my last finish. I have the opposite of "startitis". I obsess over which pattern to start next, which fabric color to use, if any thread colors should be changed....then I walk away until the next day. I know, it's a sickness :)

I lose my mojo from time to time and then I look at everyone's blogs and look up pretty stitching pictures on Pinterest and guess what?! Right back on! :) GOOD LUCK poking something today!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're back to stitching soon...and that Stewey can unpack his valise.
ReplyDeleteIn May and June I swear I forgot I was a stitcher. It was time for reading, so 7 books or so later I'm itching to stitch. It really does come back! I think I'll join you tonite, so if you hear someone saying "Hey!" that might be me ;-D enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and I are suffering from the same affliction. About 10 stitches today, and salad and ice cream for lunch, potato chips for dinner. Let's stitch our way out of this funk together. Hang in there.

I'm still in my stitching hiatus too. Wish it would come back. I have a bad case of S.A.B.L.E. and it's getting worse by the minute! Sigh.... Thinking good thoughts for all of us in this state. Cathryn
ReplyDeleteHope you find your mojo soon. We are all happier when stitching, right? Visit Pinterest, and oogle the beautiful stitching there, and visit some blogs. You will become inspired again...!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some stitching in. I have just finished reading all your posts from the beginning and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. So I am selfishly hoping that you were able to do some stitching so that I will be able to read and see more of your stitching.
ReplyDeleteEight days and counting. Nothing that Donaldson and some red licorice won't cure!
ReplyDeleteIt may sound silly but a lot of times when I get in a stitching slump I go back and read my own blog. It helps me to reconnect with my old stitchy self.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding your mojo! It's not lost, it's only misplaced!
Best of luck on getting your stitching groove back. When I loose mine, I try and do something small, sometimes instant gratification is a great motivator.
ReplyDeleteWhat worked for me was 100 mg of Zoloft. Good as new!
ReplyDeleteIt must be the time of year. I stitch a few stitches in the last month and here I am back with my iPad.
