I managed another 5% on this project, but I just can’t work on it anymore. Every time I look at it I get depressed knowing that my sister badmouthed me behind my back. So I’m putting it away for a month or two and working on one of my other WiPs.

Well after reading everyone's answer to the SBQ's floss set collecting; I'm wondering if I have a slight compulsion about collecting certain floss brands. {LOL} And is it a good or a bad thing? I seem to have inherited my mom's pack-rat gene. Only this one has it's priorities with floss, fabric, charts, kits, and certain fantasy/sci-fi books. {Grin}

Today's SBQ was suggested by Me! and is:
How many different brands of "complete" embroidery floss sets do you own? How do you keep track of it? (i.e., spread sheet program, index cards, palm pilot, etc.)

This question popped into my head when I posted one of my “To Love and Cherish” updates. I just happened to get a little S.E.X. in the mail over the weekend, and it got me to wondering just how many others out there on the SBQ list had this need ( or maybe compulsion ? ) to collect complete sets of their favorite fibers.
Well here's my answer in a nice little table format:
I’ve come to rely heavily on Microsoft’s Excel spread sheet program, to keep all my lists and counts up to date. Since I also have an additional 2 file folder boxes of various skein counts of DMC cotton floss, pearl cotton, rayon, metallic, tatting & crochet thread. Along with a few spools of Krenik, a few extra skeins of Anchor and J. & P. Coats. That goes for my 2 boxes of fabric as well.

Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that my own sister would badmouth me behind by back. I overheard her today proclaiming that I was useless and lazy. That if I really wanted a job I’d have one by now. She also seems to think that my back injury is all in my head and that going to a chiropractor is a waste of time and money. With dear old dad chiming in with agreement. For someone who use to puck in the toilet with accompanying migraine headaches I have one hell of an imagination.
How could she be so cruel after all that I’ve done for her. She has no idea how hard it can be to get a job when you don’t own a car. Hell she’s never had to worry about where her next paycheck came from, not with the cozy government job she’s got.
I’m having some serious doubts about making this wedding announcement stitchery for her with that back stabbing attitude. I’m beginning to think she doesn’t deserve all the hard work and time I’m putting in on this stitchery project.

Today's SBQ was suggested by Lee ( http://lakestitcher.blogspot.com/ ) and is:
How did you decide on the title of your stitching blog? Was it random, or does it have a special meaning to you or about you?

Well that’s easy enough to answer. It’s simply a variant of my website title “A Stitch In Thyme”. “One Stitch at a Thyme” simply conveys the path I take. Slow but steady.
The sentiment behind the title is - I’d like to think, at this moment in time. I will create something that will be enjoyed and will hopefully last for future generations to admire. As well as, letting others wonder about the person behind this created work of art.
