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 my fabric was 36ct and […]
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 florescent light! And aside from […]
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 Sampler piece for them: It’s […]
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 it doesn’t matter a bit. […]
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. Here is the cake. The […]
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 the identical box I used […]
Here she is! Catherine Agnes is done! Happy Dance! Isn’t she just lovely? The specialty stitches were so creative and elaborate in this one. I won’t say all of them were the most fun thing I ever stitched but they’re all so pretty! I loved the colors especially the plummy purple (Grape from Caron Waterlilies). It was fun to stitch […]
I guessed right! 2 more stitching nights and I finished Deerfield! I have to say I really enjoyed a piece that was 100% cross stitch after all the special stitch heavy projects I’ve been doing lately. It finished up so quickly too! This will be framed and go on the wall with my small samplers display. In my newly empty […]
For my small this month I’m sharing the little piece I made for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop on Valentines Day. The recipient of my stitched Valentine was Astrid of Dragon Stitches. I had stitched it just for this event so it would be a surprise I had not shared before! And now it’s doing double duty for my […]
