Many thanks again to Rachel for giving me a reason to FFO some pieces this month and share them with you! I finished up the Sugar Plum Fairy from Satsuma Street. The designer sent me a whole new bead packet and guess what? It’s a good thing I asked her about this because the packet …
February 2022 FFOs
I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher to persevere in my finishing this month! First, I made the Milady’s Needle stitch into a pin cushion. It was impossible to find a matching trim color. What I wanted was a dark green chenille but no one seems to make or carry the correct shade. …

I substituted quite a few of the fibers because I did not have the called for Kreiniks. None of the sparkly threads …
A bit of everything
Finally! I am ready to post the work I’ve been doing lately! I’ve been stitching on lots of little things! I finished my submission for the Ornies SAL. I chose A Star, A Star by The Sunflower Seed from the 2007 issue of Just Cross Stitch Ornaments. I really like how it came out! I …
A Slow Start
I am having a slow start to the month of March. I feel like February was a blitz of stitching and posting and March well, maybe I’m a little burnt out! Plus it is Lent and I do attempt to reduce my screen time and my indulgent hobby time in favor of more reflective and …
