People often ask me how I get so much stitching done. First, I don't think I really do, I know many stitchers who are much more prolific than I am. (And faster stitchers!) However, I make stitching a priority. I was sick for several months over the winter and spring and did little to no stitching because I was pretty much just going to work, coming home and going to bed. I realized that I really missed stitching and found that even a few stitches even if I was exhausted made me more relaxed which led to better sleep, a better mood, etc. Staying up all night to stitch like I'm doing tonight isn't worth it, but 10 or 15 minutes at the end of the day - absolutely!
A few weeks ago designer
Gay Ann Rogers came up with an idea called
12 Stitches A Day where you stitch 12 stitches a day on a project. I've started formally doing that and it's amazing the progress you can make when you just do a little bit at a time.
