The 10 Stitching Projects Challenge
I am having the itch to start stitching again. I have abandoned it for more than 2 years. Right before DS was born, I was stitching Victoria Sampler's Gazebo Roses. I remember sitting on the Tennis Court, stitching, while DH and his 3 friends played Tennis. I was around 7 months pregnant with Mehul. Ah, all the free time we used to have! August 2004 - We had just moved into our Townhouse - our first house. We had a handle on everything, from jobs to cleaning and organizing the house, to home improvement. We had so much time to plan and do things. We had time for hobbies! Poor DH hasn't played Tennis since Mehul was born.
After Mehul turned One, I quit my job and stayed home to take care of him. I was home for about 7-8 months. Very few people know this, but I was offered to work from home, part time, flex hours by my Program Manager. I took it but wasn't sure how it was going to work. Afterall, we were not going to send Mehul to daycare, even part-time. That was the whole point of me staying home! Anyhow, they hired me, I became an employee, but the *work* never actually materialized. My supervisor wasn't too keen on this to begin with. After a few rounds of playing tag, I stopped caring.
I've digressed enough. Point of this is I didn't stitch much even when I was home. I did finish a gift for a dear friend. I'll post it here (soon)! Now, I am going to get back to stitching. After the party, I'm taking out my needles.
The 10 Project Challenge is to not make any new purchases until the project you've listed are finished. I have modified it to not make any new starts. That is a big one for me. I never finish what I start. So, here is my list. Until these are finished, I won't make another start.
Oh, BTW, DigiScrapping is totally exempt from this LOL. I am allowed to scrap all I want. And buy both stitching and scrapping stash. That is a big motivator for me if I start to feel blah!
