Was February as crazy for you as it was for me? Quite a bit was packed into the one month with only 28 days in it and I'm still behind...a little bit
Just to share here, my March List:

I've been reading quite a few blogs of fellow stitchers in the past few months and found one in particular who made a monthly goals list. It didn't matter that she finished everything, just that it was there and if she did work on or finish anything well, YAY! I tried that list in January and completed the list. It felt AWESOME. Made a list for February and only finished two, but I DID manage to organize my beads and sequins and my specialty flosses AND AGAIN I felt AWESOME For February, having plenty to do is important and achieving goals really gets the spirits up.
You can blame Magical525 and pinkythepink for all this organizing since they started it (mostly Magical, but there is some Pinky in there too). It is so incredibly wonderful to have it all done! Do you have that issue? Floss stuffed here and there? Tubes, baggies and jars of beads hither and yon? If Joann's hadn't had that 50% off sale for that "picture keeper" organizer suitcase thingy, I would not have been doing that and might have finished some stitching instead! If you feel the need to organize, it's best to dig everything out first to see what you have and then go hunting for things like that suitcase. Once you know what you have, the rest just falls into place...my opinion only and might not be your bag, but it worked really well here at the old NCC.
All total, I guesstimate it took me almost two weeks (there was work interfering as per usual) to get the floss bobbinated and in order and the beads and sequins into their new home. It was an undertaking, but AGAIN I cannot stress enough how amazing it is to have these things all in one place.
If you are feeling blah or down due to the time of year or the weather...organize something. I read somewhere in a book about Feng Shui that if you clean up or organize something it puts some balance back into your world. Little steps like that make things better.
If you aren't up to organizing or digging into your stashes at present, then come on over to my blog and have a read and a giggle

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020
There I was thinking I wouldn't be on dA anymore and it turns out I missed it too much. It also turns out that I'd rather be here and my blog than anywhere else aside from Instagram. It was a nice break away from everything and I'll probably not be on as often as I used to be, but here is where I'll continue to post things and hang with my friends. I've had a few finishes, but would like to feature my first favorite: Enjoy the new year my little squishy humans! :D

What is Neglected Floss Stitch Along? It is a wonderful way for everyone to utilize that floss that has been hanging around your stash. For some, it probably bothers you just a tiny bit that you have these flosses that never get used or there is just a tiny bit left of some specialty floss that you may never use again from a kit. Here is the best way to ensure you use every one of your stashed flosses at least once, or finish them off entirely! Gifted floss, those bobbins that sit quie
