When a project drags out, with too many interruptions,  a lot of the fun and energy goes out of it for me.  After a while, all I can see are flaws.  Too much rethinking of things that don&#8217;t need rethinking!  I originally did some of the faces with machine stitching.  I wasn&#8217;t crazy about that.  One went into the trash as unsalvageable.  The guys have stitched glasses.  It wasn&#8217;t working for the women.  I ended up doing them with a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/inaminuteago.com\/stitchdict\/stitch\/couching.html\">couching stitch<\/a>.

I&#8217;ve already taken at least 100 pics that I&#8217;m not happy with.

There is one planned for August 4 in Northboro, MA.  First priority to members of my doll club.  I am try to put together something for Saturday, July 28 or 21, closer to home.  Sorry it is taking me so long- I am not good at this sort of stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My latest postcards- These took me way too long.
