Sigh, I wish. This has been the week from hell with DB, in his 50s,
with mono. Spent 2 hrs Monday in the ER after his dr sent him there
in an ambulance because he passed out and had really low bp.
Instead of strep....mono. Men are the worst patients.
Ferrying him to get a prescription, ferrying DM for her dr appt
delayed
a day after the ER visit, not to mention the usual errands. Needless
to say, I haven't picked up a needle. And if I did I'm sure I'd stab
myself if I could make sense of the chart.

No intentionally inflicted needle stabs, please! So sorry to hear about
your very tough week - men are babies when it comes to illness kind of
things - as a glittering generality of course...
Hope the week continues to improve, as does your DH.

True - this is a cute series of designs - and I guess Sue needs a Pirate to
go with all her mermaids ;^)

It's true - the pirate will go MUCH faster than the mermaid. You noticed
that wasn't on my "in progress" list! I did do a couple of letters
several weeks back. I *really* need to put shoulder to boulder and just
get on with the over-one lettering - that's the plateau I'm sitting on.
I won't allow myself to go on with the fun blackwork outline until I do
the letters! (I may have to re-think that and give myself rewards at
progress points.)

Hey, that sounds like a plan. As someone overwhelmed with UFOs right now,
any progress to me sounds good. I'm just sitting here thinking of what to
bring to stitch in tomorrow morning! My plan for a stitch-a-thon today was
waylaid by a - DH & I both seeming to have a head cold so he stayed home & b
- I had to finish the enormous security form for the hopeful will come to
fruition real new job that I don't want to jinx. Tomorrow post-stitching I
go to the office for fingerprints - woo hoo. So, I'm thinking of either
bringing the more challenging (as in tiny, precise couching) but clearer to
work on at group piece from seminar, or liberate Poseidon to work on for a
while. Or maybe I'll finally finish the Welcome Spot sampler from Drawn
Thread that I started after the first time we did an outing to Stitchin'
Post. It's so close to done, if I can find it maybe that will win!

Don't you just hate it when a stitching opportunity falls between
"appropriate" projects? For the last stitch 'n' bitch at my LNS, I only
had big and complicated projects underway, and not something I could do
amidst chatter and distractions. I ended up prepping a new project (Mill
Hill's Clarissa Cow) the afternoon of that day -- a design that wasn't
too intricate, on which I could find the starting point and do a the
first few stitches so I wouldn't have to count much, etc., even though
it wasn't particularly calling to me at the time. And I've hardly picked
it up since!
