The past couple of weeks have brought everything from snow (snow in October!) to frost to warm days that felt almost like summer. As a result, the colors of my Stitch Journal have run the gamut from white to reds, yellows, and browns.
Lately I've begun thinking about next year. When I finish the December piece, should I begin a new stitch journal project for 2017? I enjoy my early morning stitching and feel very committed to daily embroidery. But I'm unsure what the concept would be or what form the piece(s) would take.
I'm also unsure about daily posting on social media. I have faithfully posted each day's stitching on Instagram throughout 2016 and will continue through the end of the year. I wouldn't want to let down followers who say they look forward to each day's post! But some days I feel like the time and energy and "mental awareness" consumed by social media diminishes the time and energy I have for actually doing what I love—looking at the world and quietly observing. Also, daily posting makes every day of the week feel a little bit like a workday, with a task that must be completed even on Sundays, even when I've been sick or on vacation. So that's something to think about for next year, too.
Well, there's plenty of time to decide! Without further ado, here are the daily images from Weeks 43 and 44.

If you are enjoying my Stitch Journal project, I hope you'll consider making a purchase from my Etsy Shop to help support it. Funds are needed for stretchers, professional photography, and a website to serve as home for this project and my other artwork.
If you don't wish to make a purchase but just want to support the project, you can do that, too. Thank you!
