Interstices

I really meant to blog on Friday. I had some small progress on Flea Market Souvenir to show. But Sissy fell on some ice while she was walking the dog Thursday night and ended up in the emergency room. I had to walk the dog on Friday. Then take her back to the hospital to pick up her x-rays, on to the orthopedic surgeon they recommended, and then to physical therapy. We decided to have dinner with her to keep her company since we had a last minute plan to head to NYC for a show. More on that here.

On Saturday morning we took the train up to New York. We thought it would be less of a headache than driving, and it was. That gave me a few hours of stitching, but I worked on my birthday exchange. No photos until next month.

What I've realized while stitching in waiting rooms and trains is that I stitch mostly in the interstices of my day. And without working, or waiting, or traveling, there are no interstices. I guess I'm going to have to start scheduling my hobby into my day. That works for me. Because all those stitches these past few days have really made me happy.

Ouchies!

What is it with sisters? Mine fell this weekend on the ice and snow we have here, and broke her wrist!

Poor Sis. But lucky for you that you finally found a way to have some time to stitch.

Best wishes for your sister!

Love your progress. Schedule in some more time so I can greedily devour your progress pics!

At one time when I had more frequent interstices for stitching I had a couple of projects bagged for on the go, then one at my chair for those evenings when I still had energy to stitch. Worked well for me - I should do that again. :D

Hope your sis is back on top again real soon.

I hope your sister isn't badly injured. Your progress is beautiful. I agree, when my schedule changed it took awhile for me to figure out how to fit stitching into it and when. I think it's the same whether you have more time or less. Glad I inspired you to get that mermaid back out...it's hard to get back to it after all that ripping, but you'll be glad you did!
