"Some of us have a favorite chair that we sit in to stitch, others prefer
to enjoy a steaming mug of tea while they stitch. Maybe you need to get
comfortable and put on your pajamas before you pick up your needle or
you simply must rearrange all the sofa pillows before you sit down.
Sometimes the ritual is in the clean up when we’re done and everything
must go in a certain place. What sort of stitching rituals do you have
when you sit down to work on your projects?"
I don't really have a ritual. I do like to have everything in it's proper place when I stitch. It just makes it easier to reach out & pick up my scissors without looking up. I have my stitching area set up so that I really don't have to do much when I sit down to stitch. It is just my husband and I now that the kids are gone so no one messes with my stuff & I can leave it set up when I'm not working on it.

Not having anyone around to disturb your stitchy stuff is a blessing. My kids can be a little overly "interested" my projects so I pack everything up when I need to stop *lol*

I have a ton of trouble keeping the kids away from my stitching stuff. I'm looking forward to that day when it will be exactly as I left it.
ReplyDeleteThis has been an interesting topic it seems we all have more routine than ritual!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to put stuff in the same place so I know where they're at, but I'm a failure! I'm constantly sticking my needle everywhere and then wondering where I put it, lol.
ReplyDeletei keep my projects all in the same spot when i go to bed. I usually just plop down on my couch and pick up a project.
ReplyDeleteI can leave my stuff out and the kids won't bother it, but I find myself tucking it away anyhow because I'm incredibly clumsy sometimes and I know something will happen to it if I leave it out :-p
ReplyDeleteI have a tv tray set up by me with my cell phone, tv remote, ort container and my scissors. I sit at the end of the couch and the end table has my ott light and my drink on it. I make sure I always let the dog do his business outside first because as soon I get settled in and pick up the needle that is when the dog decides he needs to go out.
ReplyDeletei am really organised..i put my stuff back at the same place..
ReplyDeletehugs xx
So it is a ritual! You have yo put everything in an order... I do same thing.
