On Sundays, I take a break from all the stitching I do for models, for stitch guides and for commissions and stitch for me. I started to do this because I rememebred my grandmother’s “no sewing on Sundays” rule. She was head of an alterations department at a swank dress shop, so sewing was her work.
But since she was never idle, on Sundays she knitted or crocheted.
So I’m doing sort of the same thing. I’m working on pieces from my stash, which is growing again since my recent eBay binge. I started doing this back in February and have finished three pieces and am working on three others.
Today I worked on my son’s (three years late) graduation ornament, a Kathy Schenkel nutcracker. And started a graduation cap ornament for my youngest daughter. I’m going to rip everything out and take a new approach although I’m not sure what.
Finding graduation Christmas ornaments so that each kid has a different one has been a real pain. I’m so glad I only have three kids!
So now it’s Monday and it’s back to work on the stitch guides for the Small Halloween figures, and to start stitching my latest commission a cherub with a drum.
