Good morning! School is out. Wheee! I think, at the beginning at least, I like school being on summer break as much as the kids, with nowhere to hustle off to first thing on a Monday morning. Last night I watched The Attic’s flosstube. It is the only flosstube I watch because I need to …
Monogamous May…and a delay
I’ve made more good progress on Jane this past week. The border is matched up! This stitch is full of on purpose and on accident “personalizations” but at least no significant counting errors! Yay! The finish is in sight! I meant to spend Mother’s Day making a big finish. It didn’t work out. An essential …
A productive weekend and week
Look at all the stitching I got done on Jane since last weekend! The bottom half is done done done! I redid the trees how I wanted them and “fixed” the smoke from the chimneys that was off center in the design and driving me nuts. I did that whole middle flower band and got …
Mostly Monogamous May
As much fun as it is to go skippity hop from one project to another, it is more satisfying to finish something so I’m going to do a mostly monogamous May and strive for a substantial finish! The stitch of choice is Jane Plenderleath from Needlework Press. I don’t even remember the last time I …
Borders, Birds, and Bouquets
I feel like I’m coming out of hibernation with my stitching and blogging this past month. I was kitting so many projects I’m not even going to list them here…except for the ones I’ve started. I have been on such an unearned new starts kick, having my own private MAYnia here through the end of …
WIPS! Starts! Yay!
Finishing those 2 little projects last week of the VWX section on the Sampler of Stitches and the Philanthropic Pumpkin made me so happy because I could go back to a lovely stitch from last year…Rosehips and Ivy from Blackbird Designs. Here’s my progress this week. If I keep on at a good pace, I …
January Stitching
This month so far, and aside from my little finishes, I’ve been trying to move along on The Drawn Thread’s Sampler of Stitches. My goal is to finish it by my birthday March 28, and ideally by spring break which starts March 10 so I can dive into a new Big Start to work on …
Some finishes and some WIPs
I haven’t updated you on some of my ongoing projects in a while mostly because I keep hoping there will be more to show if I wait another day or 2! Does anyone else do that? Well, I am guilty of it too often. Nonetheless, I do have some finishes to share, this one for …
Addictive!
I was planning to put the finishing touches on a few things before starting something new but for me sometimes making a plan is the surest way to deviate from it!! I went ahead and started a new project, Rosehips and Ivy by Blackbird Designs. I Can Not Put It Down! The colors and the …
November 2022 Smalls Check In
Yesterday in the USA was Thanksgiving! My parents are here in Arizona for a visit. We had a wonderful feast! We truly have so much to be thankful for! I wanted to share a finish of the Sampler Etui needlebook, but it’s not done yet! But here is my progress. Maybe I’ll get it done …
