Ah -- a kindred soul. I have observed that I can only sustain one
passion at a time. I used to do a LOT of cross stitching, but when we moved to Texas and I had packed everything away, I got out of the habit. I broke my right wrist (I'm right-handed) and couldn't stitch for a while, even after unpacking my stuff. After the wrist healed, I tried to work on a couple of projects but was just "uncomfortable". I thought it was stiffness in my wrist, but came to find out later that the root problem was that I needed "reading" glasses. By the time I got my bifocals, I had taken up digital scrapbooking and that sustained me for a long time. Right now, I'm making eBooks from texts at Project Gutenberg. I am working on the Bobbsey Twins books and then I think I'll try the "Aunt Jane's Nieces" series by Edith Van Dyne (a pseudonym used by L. Frank Baum). The series was designed to appeal to the same audience as Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Little Men.
