It was my goal yesterday to finish the alphabet on my Quaker Heart freebie and do the backstitching around the heart (I plan on making this into a pincushion), and then maybe even put in the first few stitches on the reverse side's design. I'm afraid I got a little wrapped up in what I was watching, however, Emma on Masterpiece Theatre. I think I like this remake the best and will have to buy it for my little DVD collection (I only buy movies I know I will enjoy watching more than once). There are two Jane Austen books I've not yet read, and Emma is one of them, and this made me want to pull out my copy and start reading right away. As I'm rereading Pride and Prejudice at the moment I will save it for later. I stitched during the news and then was just too tired and it was getting too late to add those final letters. So I'll finish them tonight instead. And maybe I can start working on one of my other Valentine projects now that it is officially February.
Just curious--when and where do you stitch? I used to take my stitching with me to work, but as breaks and a short lunch is just not enough time to really make any progress (by the time I pull out my work and find my place my break is usually half over), I've stopped dragging it with me (to say nothing of letting it get wrinkled in my bookbag). Now I stitch for a while in the evenings right before I go to bed, and actually stitch in bed! The bad thing is I am either too tired to work long, or would like to work for a while, but I have to get up early in the morning, so try and turn the lights out at a reasonable time. Weekends are my prime stitching time generally, though I also try and get caught up on computer related things as well (emails, blog reading). Oh to have a few more hours in the day--or three day weekends every weekend!
