Who Knows Where the Time Goes…..

Exactly how three quarters of the year have zoomed by so quickly is a mystery to me. It sorta reminds me of the analogy of the toilet paper roll that spins faster and faster as it nears the end…………….I refuse to gently “go into that good night” while there is still so much to see, do, enjoy, and experience. 

It’s been said we cannot die when there are needlepoint projects yet to be finished (which should enable my stay here to last another 70 years or so).  Last week on the patio, my project of choice was a small picture frame that allowed me to concentrate on the beauty of the day, zoning out with basketweave and absorbing all around me without thought.  Last night, however, my Tony Minieri “Journey” piece called to me. One of Tony’s pieces is to needlepoint what Mozart is to music – beauty, precision and fulfillment in arriving just where you knew you’d be going.  If you have never worked on one of Tony’s exquisite designs, do yourself a favor and give it a shot (better yet, take his class) – there are so many to choose from.  His Stars for the New Millennium is a fabulous piece – stitch all twelve squares in one piece, or, pick a few and make ornaments from them!   Here’s a link (and picture below it) to Tony’s “home base” to order the project for yourself: http://www.theedwardianneedle.com/Designs_Stars.html 

    

Don’t let a day go by without feeding your heart and soul by stitching – it’s good for your health, too!
