What has Debbie been doing lately?

Well, it’s been a minute since my last post, so let’s catch up:

I taught at the American Needlepoint Guild National Seminar in Denver, immediately followed by the Greater Pacific Region Regional Seminar in Medford, OR. I was gone for about 2 weeks. I stressed over the packing, not of my clothes, but of my stitching projects – I didn’t want to finish and run out of things to stitch!

While I was away I stitched a small sample that was part of our local EGA program, finished the Christmas ornament that will be my gift to you later (no peeking!) and started stitching a new project.

When I got home I jumped right into writing instructions – I have 6 projects that I need to write up in the next few weeks. Do you think I can get everything done if I give up sleeping?

Next on my agenda is prepping for 2 classes the second weekend in September, getting kits together for a stitching demonstration at the State Fair of Oklahoma, then prepping 2 pilot classes the last weekend of September.

But between now and then, I’m headed to the Houston area to help care for a relative for a couple of weeks. Again, stressing over packing not clothes, but stitching projects! So I’ll be working on getting my stitching projects together so I’m prepared to stay away for a while.

I’m exhausted just listing everything!
