Happy March! Here is Arizona it is coming in like a lion with an exceptionally windy day. I hope we don’t lose any trees! I am writing a quick post to let you all know I am taking a break for a little bit. I will still check in with an FFO mid month, and …

January 2023 Smalls Link Up
Hello friends! It is time for the first Smalls Link Up of 2023! I can hardly believe it but here we are! Here is my (medium) small for this month, The Philanthropic Pumpkin from Hands on Design. I am looking forward to the finishing actually, it will be very very cute and I have some …
Reinvigorating
I felt like I needed to reinvigorate my stitching life. I had so many plans for September that didn’t work out. I think I stitched 2 tiny leaves? bushes? whatever on Bathya, but didn’t get further than that. Why? I don’t know! I don’t really carry Bathya around with me to work on because I …
July 2022 Fully Finished Object
My Fully Finished Object for the July Gallery is the Blue Flower Pindrum by La D Da. I did my best! It is stuffed with poly beads on the bottom for weight, sawdust for stiffness in the middle, and fiber fill on the top to be easy to stick the pins in. I have done …
Full Finishes Part Two: Smalls!
Continuing the banner month of FFO’s for Rachel’s FFO Gallery here are the Smalls I finished up this month. I bought a little Sudberry House pin cushion for Jeannette Douglas’ Fall Posey.

October Stitching Update 2
I’m very close on Oakley Owlet thanks to a return to weekend baseball tournaments. They are limiting fans so we are livestreaming my #1 son’s games from home. Convenient! Can you tell I’ve made progress on Autumn Quakers since last week? I can. But then when I pull it out of the hoop and look …
Goodbye to my old lady
I know we all in the stitching community love our dear pets so I felt you all would be good people to share this with. I have mentioned once or twice before that our family has a feline member-this is my stitching buddy, Kiwi. I was only 22 or 23 here! And Kiwi was just …
