For all my chattiness, I am a rather secretive person. And I am at my most secretive when learning something new. Because I am afraid that I'll just start things and never finish them, and that's nothing to boast of. And also because I am a rather slow learner, and baby steps are nothing to boast about: the only situation where you can go all "Look, I've learned to write the letter A, and B too!" is when you are five, and you are talking to your mother. Otherwise people either make a "so what" face, or remind you how tiny your baby step is for someone who isn't a baby, and how quickly such things are done.
... makes much more sense to only mention things when you have results. Which is also the reason why I almost stopped posting cross-stitch progress reports, btw.
