I've been traveling and, although it has been great fun, I've missed a hand stitching project (forgot to pack it).<br />My husband is never without a pen in his pocket.

When I was dealing with a bad neurological reaction to medicine several years ago, I turned to crochet and it greatly helped and calmed me. I too drag my feet when a project is coming to an end and I often leave the best to last to make the end more enjoyable. Life is Beautiful is looking great.CathieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466163934848609107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-44453429915026264442017-06-18T09:35:31.785-04:002017-06-18T09:35:31.785-04:00Love the quote I am a long time believer in stitch...Love the quote I am a long time believer in stitching as therapy, it's the one activity I do that brings me such calm it's almost zenlike. I like to save my favorite parts for last as well. And it's nice to know I'm not the only one that drags her feet when coming to the end of a project especially one I really love. I look forward to seeing Life is Beautiful all put together.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013807144091997698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-39048569721634537332017-06-18T09:20:32.401-04:002017-06-18T09:20:32.401-04:00What a great statement that is!

I know a few of my girl scout Mom's have mentioned things about sewing and I floated one idea to a Mom yesterday about the girls making pillow cases this coming year with the sewing machine. She was all for it - so there will be 10 girls playing with sewing machine with parental help at one of our troop meetings this year. Ages 6-9 - should be interesting! I might look at how to crochet without a hook and maybe teach that one at some point too!<br />Deb Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206921657695916898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-12206847814504742922017-06-18T08:37:54.887-04:002017-06-18T08:37:54.887-04:00I agree with Polly and have experienced the benefi...I agree with Polly and have experienced the benefits of hand stitching first hand!<br /><br />Isn't it all the best?

My husband's father always carried a pen in his pocket too. He passed away a few years ago. My husband has his pen now.
