Looking for my stash!

It has been a long, long time since I did any serious stitching - life came between me and my favorite hobby.  But I'm a sampler and specialty needlework nut. 

Yesterday, by happy mistake, I got some time to visit my very favorite LNS (that's local needlework shop, for those of you less crafty) - The Stitching Post.  Tons of gorgeous new model stitched pieces are hung on the walls.  There are beautiful autumn themes in the color choices and motifs. 

I didn't buy anything though!  I DID come home and start hunting for all of my charts -- I used to imagine that I'd get to spend days just sitting and stitching.  I also used to stitch while I rode along on longer drives occasionally.  I'm NOT ending up getting to do those things now.  So I have an accumulation of fibers, fabric, and charts that are just waiting around. 

I also have a couple of UnFinished Objects or UFOs in one tote bag or another.  So I'm going to choose one and try to fit a bit of stitching in at least each week.  Stitching is very relaxing and kind of meditative, and I like having a tactile, visible outcome from the time I spend on a piece, too.
