Still slogging away

I have about 4 and a half more squares to nunstitch around. Blah. Blah.

I work a funky schedule the next few days. I work til 8 due to my part time job. I can maybe stitch at the theatre, if we're not busy, but one of our shows got a good review from the Post, and we've been swamped with ticket requests. Great for the theatre, not so grand for me. But I am serious, I will not stitch on this afghan this weekend. Particularly if it's 98 tomorrow like they have been saying it will be. I love summer, but I don't like having masses of fabric on me when it's warm. And an afghan is all about masses of fabric.

Since my obligation stitching really ends when this is finished, I am going to make a list of things I want to finish this year, and work to get through that list. High on it is SO's geisha (remember her?). She was supposed to be his Christmas present, but I found her the other day, as yet unfinished. I think she'll take a month to finish. A month is doable considering I've been working on her for 9 years, LOL. And that Fall Cat Sampler from Sisters and Best Friends. That is definitely getting finished this year. And there are several other small projects I want to get done. As well as getting some ornaments finished. The Charlie Brown pet tree looked a little bare this year, a shame considering all the unfinished ornaments I have been finding. It just takes time, ribbon, and stuffing. That's all I'm saying.

I really do have a feeling of accomplishment when I finish these UFOs and WIPs, more so than any other projects. I would say I should let more of my projects mellow, but there are some in my pile that I am just intimidated by, like the Summer Ball from Cross Stitch Collection. I need to work on it; I haven't even touched it in almost two years, not since CATS. oooopsss. Maybe getting some of these other projects finished will give me time to get that one worked on.
