There are oodles of good reasons to pick up needlepoint as a hobby. Of course, I may be a little biased. 😉

My “whys” for stitching are pretty simple, though…

• It provides me with a creative outlet.
• It helps me to relax.
• It’s something that I can do just about anywhere at any time.

And with this wackadoodle world we’re living in right now, I couldn’t be more grateful for my beloved hobby.

WOW… what a topsy turvy week! You’ve been on my mind and in my heart. I hope that all is well with you and yours. We’re hunkered down here at home, doing our part to help “flatten the curve”. We’ve been to the grocery store and filled our prescriptions – and now, we wait. Just like you. There are so darned many “unknowns” about this new coronavirus. But you know what? I have confidence that we’ll get through it – and that we’ll come out on the “other side” much stronger and more resilient. In the meanwhile, I was inspired by all of you to create an online gathering space for stitchers. It’s called “Stitching with Ellen“…

Happy New Year! Last week’s post, all about setting S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goals and habits, sets the stage for this week’s post. Cue the drumroll, please…  This week, I’m issuing a challenge to you – the #Stitch20in20 Challenge!
