But I made progress last week! I only have a little bit of white border left on the Mini Motif Sampler, and then an easy-peasy backstitched line around the whole edge. I’ve made an excellent start on The Little Berry Thief from Scattered Seed Sampler’s club. It will be my small this month! I have …
Let It Bee and the Next Thing
I finished Let It Bee! Once I finally got a pattern going for the lattice it went much faster. I’ll frame it later this week. Right away I started Quaker Carnations Pinwheel from Threadwork Primitives. One of my favorite finishes is Quaker Birds Pinwheel so I am excited to have a companion for it. I’m …
September Smalls Check In
Happy Fall, all you in the Northern Hemisphere! And Happy Spring to all you in the South! Here in Arizona we have enjoyed a cooler, rainy week! In September we are usually still experiencing the last blasts of summer (100 plus degrees) but this week kicked off with huge thunderstorms and rain, resulting in overcast …
Little Projects
I’ve been too ambitious this month thinking I could get so much done! As a result I have a pile of partially completed little projects I’ve been carrying around hoping to stitch on in my free moments. First is Let It Bee from The Drawn Thread. The lattice border has slowed this one down! I’m …
Feelin’ Crafty
Oh, I was self-indulgent after some long hard days last week and DURING THE DAY (I usually do all my projects at night when the kids are in bed) I got crafty! A while ago, I had a little beaded scissor fob that broke. I saved the beads and went to Hobby Lobby to get …

I was able to finish Erica Michael’s Tudor Rose this week-very happy with this small piece! I love the colors, the shape, just everything about it. This chart …
Where have I been?
Well…I have been to Australia! Yes! We took took our five (5)…that’s FIVE children, ages 20 months to 11 on a 15 hour plane ride…to Australia. That was just fine. It was the 13 hours BACK that were difficult. But ALL worth it! It was a fantastic trip! And I did not get a lot …
June Smalls Check In
It’s that time again! Happy last Friday of the month! I just have a quick post for you today…I spent one night this week finishing up Angels by Little House Needleworks. This one is so cute! It had been my swimming lesson project last year and when swimming lessons were finished I put it away …
The Land Of Forgotten Projects
Having gotten all those little finishes out of the way last week, I was eager to reward myself and start something new! But did I really deserve it? To find out, I decided to sort out my stitching basket and see what else needs doing first. Oh my I do have a number of neglected …
