I'm cheating on my knitting and crocheting

Ok. The reason why I haven't posted is #1: I haven't had anything to post about. And #2: I have been cheating on my knitting and crocheting. With what, you may ask? Needlework. Occasionally, I get the urge to sort colors of thread, get out the fray check, and do some work. Usually in winter time while watching Jane Austen movies. I haven't done it in a month of Sundays. And all this knitting was just getting to be an overwhelming pile of jumbly yarn to me. But don't worry. The siren song of yarn is still calling. But for now I am pleasantly cross stitching a quilt sampler.
