(E)MS Notes
The excitement of getting my computer back has finally worn off… today I was back to stitching on “Purr-plexed.” She is going so fast and she is so much fun to stitch!
Today I logged 4.5 hours on her while “watching” Grease and Grease 2. I love both of those movies and they are so much fun to stitch to because a.) I have seen them both at least 100 times and don’t have to pay very close attention and b.) there is so much music in them.
This brings my total stitch time on “Purr-plexed” to 11 hours. Since I work on a very loose 15 hour rotation, I will stitch one more session on her before changing pieces. And here I make a vow: I will NOT start any more new pieces, nor will I work on anything else until I have that baby sampler done! 
I know that if I can get back into that baby sampler I will have it done within a 15-20 hour rotation. I have almost completed the main stitching and it doesn’t have very much backstitch. I love Ellen Maurer-Stroh’s designs and have really enjoyed stitching the ones I have done so far, but I have had some problems focusing on this piece.
It wasn’t an obligation piece: I wanted to stitch it for Brooke’s baby, but I think I find it easy to put off since I know that I won’t be keeping it. However, I made a promise to myself that I will finish and send it to her before the baby is 6 months old… and that will be in May, which is closer than I want to admit, so I better get on the ball!
