Well, I had high hopes for this weekend on both the basketball and stitching fronts, however I fear that disappointment in one led to lack of progress in the other. I was all set for a lot of stitching this weekend while watching the Big Ten Conference Tournament. However, the Basketball Badgers were somewhat of a disappointment on Friday, losing to Illinois (I hate losing to Illinois!). Once that was over there went my stitching/watching plans, as it was hard to muster up too much interest in the other games. So, we spent Saturday running errands in the rain and putting together our new bookcases for the library (finally, enough room for my needlework books!). Sunday I went to the Lake Michigan Sampler Guild meeting where we had a very interesting talk on framing by one of the LNS owners. I enjoyed hearing what she had to say and got a tiny bit of stitching in at the same time. Progress on Maria is one step forward, two steps back - I'm working on the reversible cross portions and I feel like I am ripping more than I'm stitching, but it's coming along slowly.
Since last weekend didn't work out, I'm going to try the basketball/stitching thing again this weekend. Wisconsin is playing in the NCAA tournament on Friday afternoon, so I'm taking the afternoon off and I'm planning on stitching and watching. Assuming they get by Wofford (never heard of them until this fall when we played them in football and I'm hoping they aren't any better in basketball), that means another game to watch on Sunday. Let's hope this plan works out better on both fronts this time!
