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 …
Sampler September: Pinks and Greens
Well, there’s about a week left for Sampler September. This week I did take a little break to sort some things out, namely the correct color white for my Quaker Garden: Jean at The Attic recommended a super bright white silk for me, White Optique from AVAS. I like it. I’m going with it. After …
Where things stand
I’ve got so much going on, and I’m taking a break from a lot of current projects for Sampler September, so I just need to make a quick WIP post! Do you want to see all the projects I’ve been working on? So… after I finished that Brenda Gervais birdy, I couldn’t resist even one …
May Wrap Up and More New Things
It was a good month. I stitched a lot, but of course I never stitch as much as I want to! I must be happy with the time I have and what I got done in it, and that’s what this post is about. I already shared with you my 2 finishes and FFO, the …

I saw someone comment upon finishing this one that they would be glad to never have to stitch another lazy daisy as …
Stitch All Weekend!
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 …

People’s Choice: Spring
For March, the People have chosen Spring as the theme of the blog hop. I have a few springy stitches to share. Here is one I made last year which you might remember, Jeannette Douglas’ Jump Into Spring: This piece also from last year also seems springy to me, it is called Pensee Sauvage from …
