I have been trying to catch the “Complete Jane Austen” series on Masterpiece this season. It’s been wonderful to watch some of the pieces I haven’t seen before. If you are a Jane Austen fan, and haven’t seen any of Masterpiece on PBS this year, you need to look it up. In honor of my time with Jane, I took a quiz and found that I am most like:
Of course, I think the draw to Jane Austen’s novels is that we all find a bit of each character in us. But, I think I agree that I am most like the older Miss Dashwood.
I am nearly done with the stitching on the Trilogy’s “Family”, which I’m giving to a friend at work. I’ve found a frame for it and I should be able to have it done this weekend. I am working to list all of my charts and WIPs. I need to shop from my stash! I have so many wonderful things I want to stitch and finish, and just need to make a plan that will help me be more efficient with the stitching time I have. I do have a short list for now, but really want to start a few new things, so I think I’ll create a plan that allows me to add a piece to my group of active projects on a regular basis, as long as I’ve made progress on each of the other projects in the group. I’m not really a “rotation” kind of person. At least as far as scheduling specific days or times. I just stitch on whatever I like at the time, or whatever I need to finish if it’s a gift. I will post more here when I have the specific plan down.
I started LHN’s “Heart of America” last night. Couldn’t resist it. I don’t have much done, but it really should work up quickly, for its size.
I had heard about this video clip, but just saw it for the first time. Funny stuff. It’s about the way I feel now that I have four whole days off ahead of me.
It’s spring break here at the college, and although I don’t get the same days off as faculty, I do get Friday. And, I added Thursday, just to make it worth my while. There’s always work to be done, but I need some recharging and to get some things done at home this weekend.
And, I’ll be taking pictures of my sister and her kids on Saturday. That will take some time, as we’re thinking about going up to Soldier Summit or Soldier Hollow. She would like some pics in the snow, and there’s plenty of it still in the mountains. I think we’ll even see some Friday and Saturday.
Sunday we’ll head up north to a missionary homecoming celebration. I’ll get some pics of my WIPs soon and post them. I know this text thing can get pretty boring!
It’s Friday night, and I’m sitting on Clifford (my big red chair-and-a-half) with the big ottoman, with a fire going, a tall glass of diet, caffeine-free Dr. Pepper, and a re-run of “House”.
I’m so glad for a real weekend. It’s been crazy at work, and I’m basically caught up with my schoolwork, so I can get some other things done. But, of course, I’ll stitch!
In the meantime, enjoy this video. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time!
