I hope all of you have been enjoying these last days of the year, especially if you’ve been celebrating the holidays! And I hope you’ve all been able to fit some stitching in to your days during this busy time of year! I have something to share…it’s not really a small, but it’s all I’ve …
Backlog post #1: From One Bargello to Another
This post was written December 12 but I didn’t take pictures so I never posted it. Here it is with the pictures, which no longer correspond to the text accurately, but you get the idea!!) This weekend (the weekend of December 11-12 that is) I did a bit of stitching the Bijoux on my Bargello …

Last Bucket List Start of 2021
I looked through all the projects I had put on my 2021 Bucket List and picked one very last one to start this year. It is the Spanish Sampler Etui from Betsy Morgan. I started stitching it. It is going to be INVOLVED. The first step is to stitch all the borders of the box …
Vacation Stitching in Hawaii!
Last week we were on fall break. Most schools in Arizona give a full week for this break which is very nice. It falls during what can be the last blast of summer, and so no one minds getting out of town for a week to come back to our delightful end-of-year temperatures. Like most …
Christmas Plans!
Friends, it is still over 100 degrees most days here in Arizona. I believe it was 106 today. Before Christmas, my family has a whole softball season to get through, a fall break trip, Halloween (that means I need to make/invent 5 costumes-we will actually get to trick or treat this year!) and Thanksgiving. I …

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 …
People’s Choice: Birds!
This is a People’s Choice theme for which I have a lot to share! I just LOVE to stitch birds! I am excited to share some of my favorites again with you! How about this very old one, Wise Old Owl from Raise the Roof? This was stitched before I started blogging and I’m not …
FFO Gallery November 2020
I’m linking up with Rachel over at Ten Hour Stitcher again this month for her “Fully Finished Object” gallery. This is just the kick in the pants I need every month to move projects from the “finished stitching” to the “fully finished” stage. It has been a great antidote to the drawer that inevitably ends …
