Well, I love my cross stitching. I've got some really pretty pieces (I think so anyway, and let's face it, that's the most important criteria - since they're going on the walls in my house,) in the queue.
The problem is that for the last 3 weeks, I've not wanted to do any. Not a single stitch. It's bothered me, and I even regularly pick up the frames or look at the charts in order to try and get the urge to start working on it again.
- So I read instead. (I got 2 books ahead of my Goodreads goal)
I picked up a little knitting 2 weeks ago and I did 3 rows on a scarf and I didn't want to work on that.
Last week, I went so far as to buy more frames for the smaller pieces. I put some of them in the frames and. . .sewed 3 stitches on each small project and . . .nothing. I still didn't want to really work on them.
- and I did some more reading (I got 4 books ahead of my yearly goal)
I tried again today to work on them. Picked out three projects and did a teeny bit of work and . . .nothing. No oomph.
- So I'm now 5 books ahead of my yearly reading goal ....
I'm glad of the leeway the extra books give me, but at this point, I would love to want to be cross stitching or knitting more than reading. I've got 6 months to finish at least 3 projects and with the lack of "oomph" I've got going, I'm going to have nothing to show at the end of the year.
That's really making me irritated and angry.
I hope something happens soon. . . .and I'm sure it will.
Later. I'm going to go read.
