It doesn’t happen very often, but thanks to several reasons, both good (Mother’s Day!) and bad (our whole family came down with a horrid cold – not COVID- and had to cancel all our plans!) I got to stitch all weekend! Being the second weekend of the Instagram Blackbird Designs Weekend SAL, my night stitching …
Strawberry Garden
On Instagram I noticed a “thing” a lot of stitchers seem to be joining up for this month; it is a Blackbird Designs Weekend SAL. I believe it was started by Laura and Brenda. Maybe all the details are in their flosstube but since I don’t really watch flosstube I don’t know much about it …
Online Advent Calendar 2020
Welcome, welcome if you are visiting from Jo’s Online Advent Calendar! (If not why not click over to Serendipitous Stitching and check it out?) Each day in December a different blog features some Christmas stitching so there is a lot to see, since now is the 23rd! If you’ve been following along this month you …
October FFO Gallery
We were on fall break this past week* so I didn’t have a lot of time to finish things up, so I tried to get most of it done before we left. I also didn’t have too much recently stitched to FFO anyway. I made the Pensee Sauvage by Samplers Not Forgotten into a pillow …
Little Bubbles of Happiness
I know I said I wouldn’t start anything new this month. Then I found the cutest SAL and I had to join in. It is so little and sweet. It is called Bulles de Bonheur (Bubbles of Happiness) and is offered by a French designer, Pili Campoy on her blog Lin Pulsion. She says, we …
February Fully Finished Objects
Thanks to Rachel, I have been motivated to FFO a few more smalls this month! I already showed you my 2 Mill Hill Santas… And here is the snowflake all finished. This is Mill Hill’s “Ice Crystal” from the Snow Crystals series. I finish them very simply, the way my Grandma always did. I hot …
Let the People Choose…Lizzie*Kate!
I am linking up with Serendipitous Jo to show you my People’s Choice for January…my one and only Lizzie*Kate! I discovered Lizzie*Kate the year she was retiring. I panicked since this had happened to me before, where I fall in love with a designer whose work is all OOP or something, so I instantly bought …
December Smalls Check In
Welcome to the last Smalls Check In of 2019! I am so grateful to you faithful friends who continue to link up month after month! I have finished my Snowflower Diaries December! That means I have stitched all the months! I do plan to do the fancy border so the project will continue in 2020. …
November (and October) FFOs
I didn’t get my October FFOs posted in time for the deadline last month for Rachel’s Fully Finished Object Gallery, so I saved the post and added a few to it for November! Here are 2 months of FFOs! October: First I framed Let It Bee from The Drawn Thread. Cynthia made it easy on …
October Smalls SAL Check In
And just like that it’s the end of October! I realized on Monday that this week had the last Friday of the month in it. So I had to scramble to get something done! I just made it! Phew! I decided to pick up this neglected Mill Hill project, the Vintage Rose beaded pin pillow. …
