A plan … sorta

Yesterday I was busy baking cookies and cleaning house. So as I expected, no post was written. And I’m okay with that.

Today I was expecting to be at a reunion (which was part of the reason for the cookies), but last night I had the first recurrence of a retinal/ocular migraine since a year or two ago. No headache, but very unusual visual effects lasting about half an hour. Which is why I’m not going anywhere today as driving didn’t seem like a great idea.

Instead, I’m posting about the tentative beginning of a not-quite-daily stitching project …




The patches to be inspired by whatever catches my interest on any given day. Like Fiona’s postcards on New Year’s Day and the Run Out Soup …




Likewise the fair linen I’m making for St Liz and the starfish that topped our Christmas tree …




There will be more, which I’ll post whenever I have  few to show.  Unlike past birthday patch cloths, I’ve decided to make all the patches the same size and to alternate light and dark patches. Or not … I’ll just see how it goes.
