Jotted Field Note: When I’m sick I cross-stitch

I had this design for about a year. Today, home with a cold and awaiting the snow, I had the chance and inclination to get to work on it.

Cross stitch is meditative for me. I have plenty of time to reflect on what I’m stitching up. In no particular order for no particular reason:

This weekend, I’d had enough.

What can I do that will be enough?

What will ever be enough for others to act?

Cross stitch may not be much, but it’s enough for me.

This will measure about 1.8” by about 2.5” when it’s done. Should be finished in the next few days. Then hoop and hang somewhere I can see it often.
