I love reading Susan's Plays With Needles blog. She is always doing something interesting, even if it usually isn't needlepoint. But this time she's written something that I occasionally consider myself. Why the heck am I needlepointing to the point of obsession?

It certainly isn't something most folks understand or appreciate. It's not going to pay the bills. But it is something I couldn't give up any more than I could stop having brown eyes or drinking coffee in the mornings.
Do you think maybe God likes stitching enough that He makes a few stitchers each year? Just for fun? And we are the lucky few?

Yes, He does, and we are!
I love stitching. I do think about it a lot. It makes me very happy. II think that there is not enough art and beauty and just happiness for happiness sake in this world and I think the world would be a better place if there was more of it! I think God smiles on us when we have found what we love to do because he put that in us. No apologies at all! Maybe more people in power ought to stitch, it might make them all calm down for a little while. That would be a good thing!
