Baby Steps

A girlfriend once told me that she never makes New Year's resolutions. Because once you fail, you think, "There's always next year." Instead, she makes monthly or weekly resolutions.

So, instead of stressing over my pile of incomplete blocks, I'm celebrating my little victories.

Happy stitching,

Elisa

Elisa, I think that is a good way to think - each little victory will soon add up.

I like your girlfriends philosophy...I will be happy to have at least the stitching done for the deadline, the stripping will be a bonus...good luck!! Suze.
