How can it be the end of September already?! How are we 3/4 of the way through 2021? I heard a theory about the perceived passages of time. The older you get the faster time seems to go because each moment is a smaller fraction of your overall lifespan than it was when you were …
Another August Small
While I probably could have made some more progress on the Bargello Roll or really anything else, I guess I needed some more instant gratification or more feelings of productivity! I went ahead and finished the other little small I mentioned last time. Since it’s still August I’ll go ahead and share it now. It …
August 2021 Smalls Check In
I was inspired this month to stitch up some very small smalls for the August SAL. They stitched up so quickly I didn’t have time for a progress picture so I saved them for you. First I did a little Shepherd’s Bush fob, I think it is called “Blooms.” It is very bright and cheery! …
Fully Finished Gallery August 2021
I’m linking up with Rachel for the Fully Finished Gallery this month to share with you the Italian Peacocks Purse by Giulia Punti Antichi! I just love how it turned out. The peacock purse frame was the way to go. I think it goes really well. I have not been able to find a chain …
Sampler Roll Finished!
Last night I managed to finish the Sampler Roll! It is super cute. I love the houses. Stitching the alphabets was fun, especially the pink one. The borders were easy. I added the little hearts next to the birds and think that looks good as my own touch. This was a nice stitch. I discovered …
Ta DAH!
I just couldn’t wait to share this with you, I finished my Amy Mitten Butterfly! I took advantage of having to wait a couple hours for a minor car repair and thought I would just take it along and get it done! That was a successful plan. No interruptions! Quiet waiting room and good, bright …
Finish and A Start
Here is my finished Treasure Box from the Drawn Thread. It is pretty! I do like it after all. Mounting it in the box will be easy so you’ll see it again soon. My next project is a present. My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary next June! I have wanted to make this Victoria …
Oh happy day! Strawberry Garden is finished!
Yay yay yay! Strawberry garden took only 3 more stitching sessions to finish up! I just love it! Goodness it was a lot of lazy daisies. But towards the end I was a lot less particular about perfect placement. They may be off by a thread here and there but I think for this design …

Best Laid Plans
I wanted to finish my Italian Peacocks Purse last week. Normally I should have been able to do that! But, “Ha ha ha,” said Life. And I should have known better anyway! We had a birthday in our family. On Wednesday night I was putting up decorations. On Friday night I was making the cake. …
April 2021 Smalls Check In
My small this month is the little Victoria Sampler Beyond Cross Stitch kit I am making into a box top for my daughter’s First Communion/Confirmation. It’s a sweet little thing! The pulled stitches were easy once I figured out the rhythm and they turned out so pretty I think. I have been unable to find …
