I stitched some on Celtic Spring last night. DH was listening to music after we put DD to bed, so I got in about an hour of stitching. I have 2 projects ready to start--I just have to cut the fabric. Once they get too big to fit in the mesh baggie I'll have to buy some white pillowcases. (I only have 2 and 1 houses Celtic Spring and the other houses CHG) The blackwork was small enough to fit in the baggie the entire time. I've only just started using these baggies, and previously I was a one project at a time girl.
I never really remember why I go into a slump. This last one however....When DD was younger, I could stitch while DH watched his Nascar--DD would be happily bouncing away in her bouncer, squealing and laughing. Now, she's more mobile and she likes to sit beside me on the couch or throw herself in my lap. I don't like to have needles out around her. I can't even knit around her--she loves the scarf I'm knitting. I made the mistake of draping the short bit of scarf across her shoulders and she thought that was pretty cool. She's so tiny it was more like a shawl. So now she tries to steal the scarf out of my lap and wrap up in it. Funny, cute, but annoying when the needles get jerked out of your hands. I can see myself slipping easily back into a slump again--I can only stitching when DD's asleep, and many times by then I'm too tired. And I don't want to create a frogging situation. I could stitch during her nap, but I'm usually doing housework.
So many projects waiting in the wings....
