It just takes a while to get used to the chaos, lol. No, seriously, when I retired there was such a lot of things I wanted to do during the day that not much was done in the end. But after a while I got more organized and it was just the way I wanted it to be - not too much structure but just enough to get things done. A nice balance.<br />Oh my, this piece on the black fabric looks awesome. I have never stitched on black fabric, just on dark blue one. But it isn't too difficult with my magnifier lamp. The Bent Creek finish is really lovely. How about making a little bell pull kind of finishing?Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778498094254760366.post-30666392936696875022017-09-25T00:27:37.517-05:002017-09-25T00:27:37.517-05:00Nature's Finery looks stunning on the black -...Nature's Finery looks stunning on the black - I can't wait to see it finished!

And what a cute BC finish, too :)<br /><br />I'll be joining you as a "Lady of Leisure" after next week, too. It is so hard for me to believe I'll be retiring and I am very sad, but at the same time, I'm ready. It is going to be a huge transition, but most of my good friends from the library have already retired so that makes things easier. I am so worried about wasting time--I think I'm going to have a set schedule as I've always done better when my day is planned out :) <br /><br />Anyway! Enjoy your extra stitching time and this first weekend of fall...Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778498094254760366.post-37218473947067276822017-09-21T19:30:43.536-05:002017-09-21T19:30:43.536-05:00Nature's Finery looks marvelous - the colors a...Nature's Finery looks marvelous - the colors are so crisp and sharp on the black fabric, and you are quite brave to be stitching on it, imo!<br /><br />You will certainly find or create structure in your days, but you may still be unwinding.<br /><br />My September orts are <a href="http://dhenders.blogspot.com/2017/09/tusal-september-2017.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>.debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488652841461053922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778498094254760366.post-70392609378364316692017-09-21T14:40:49.160-05:002017-09-21T14:40:49.160-05:00I do admire those that stitch on black fabric, the...I do admire those that stitch on black fabric, the colours of this do pop.

I found 'scheduling' chores and/or errands for specific days helped provide routine and structure, but loose enough to go out for lunch or coffee with friends.Robin in Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963664770288800348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778498094254760366.post-33942191771702104172017-09-21T03:14:28.950-05:002017-09-21T03:14:28.950-05:00When I read this post of yours, some homeschooling...When I read this post of yours, some homeschooling blogs come to my mind. hey tell, that when they drop school in favour of homeschooling, a transitional period - they call it "deschooling" - has to pass before learning takes place again. I bet you're in the process of de-working. <br />I understand your not instespersing the rows of letters with sampler stitches. That sounds cluttered and like the person making the pattern suffered from horror vacui. I too love air and space aruind the objects. <br />My time flies as well, and my time is not always spent doing something fiber-y, as can be seen in my blog post here: <br /><a href="https://krydderuglen.blogspot.dk/2017/09/tusal-september.html" rel="nofollow">TUSAL - September</a>Charlotte (MotherOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01059356989361649639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778498094254760366.post-51510200101227425662017-09-21T02:02:03.823-05:002017-09-21T02:02:03.823-05:00The more time I have on my hands, the more time I ...The more time I have on my hands, the more time I fritter away - I think when we work with routine it keeps us on track - at least I know it does with me.
