I stitch on what captures my interest at the moment, what I'm obsessed about finishing (ATS), or what I can't wait to give as a gift (only the people I love get those gifts). A couple of silly acquaintances have offered me money to stitch something (not models for a shop, but just because they wanted something stitched), and I've told them that no one dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702339127060616036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-83703170425231413232009-05-02T15:41:00.000-04:002009-05-02T15:41:00.000-04:00I keep a list of goals on my blog.
