Monogamousity

Is not a word.  It's an affliction to stitchers like myself.  Decisions were difficult before menopause hot flashes melted brain cells.  Glenna said indecision=paralysis and I always remember that.  Not where I left my knee brace, the car keys, extra paper towels, or my Halloween tree, but that statement from Glenna.

Why can't I start each of these which would be less of a time suck than trying to choose one?  But then there's the linen.  Color, count, can I find a workable size to avoid cutting into a larger piece?  Because I won't.


These aren't the only charts I am considering, but I don't know where I set the others because the phone rang. 

I stitched this one and sent it to a new home years ago.

A few small sampler charts look familiar .... did I stitch them?  There is a pile I should look through and make a list for referral.   Or better yet, get off my lazy butt and final finish them.  When I find my knee brace I'll attempt the stairs, then waste time trying to decide which to finish first.  Pillow, drum, stand, on a box, what about backing fabric ... trim?  A vicious cycle.

Charted this years ago, never stitched.  And it's so sweet!  But that snoozing cat in the background is not.  Sixteen years old, still draws blood if I try to handle her.  She sleeps on that pet heating pad with her toys close by.

Can I put those big white cotton gutchies on and fight my monogamousity?  That's the plan.  

Be safe.

Put on those big girl gutchies (I haven't heard that term in years!) and decide, because whatever you choose to stitch or finish will be wonderful.

Are the two first ones still available. Would love to stitch them myself? Good luck deciding. Janice

Ok...I've not ever heard that term "gutchies"...but I like it! I'm mostly a monogamous stitcher myself (and monogamous project-wise for the most part). I was tempted to start a new stitch and had it ready to go...but had put a few loops in a new little hooked mat and just couldn't? Finally finish things? Umm, that's another story. But I AM making an effort. Probably would be could anxiety therapy - if I could only really do it. Kitty has the right idea....a heated pad...in front of a heat register LOL.

PS... What the heck??? You NEED to stitch that chart you showed.... It is seriously good.
