Grar.

As much as I love doing my geeky con (and yes, despite any bitching I may do, I do love it), I hate that everything else comes to a halt during the weeks leading up to it -- I did finish the little purple ducks, and I finished some scissor fobs for the charity auction (all of them sold but one), and I stitched a teeny-tiny bit at the Stitch and Bitch, but all in all, I feel like I haven't done *anything* for weeks.

I'm used to cross stitching at least a half-hour a day, if not more, and if I'm ever going to progress beyond chaining and single crochet, I need to get back into the swing of things; I need to make time for crafting.

I did work on a *secret project* for a bit last night; I'm about 50 stitches and a bunch of back stitching away from finishing it, and then I need to figure out how to frame it -- I'm thinking something rustic, since the design is a primitive-rustic style. Hmm...maybe a handmade willow or grapevine frame? Must ponder this more....
