This past weekend I finished up the American Goldfinch kit from Crossed Wing Collection for my mom’s birthday present. While it sure is cute, it is hard to sustain the micro stitching for long. Good thing it’s a little project! I finished it in a Tim Holtz watch fob like I did with my cardinal …
Well! I didn’t have as much to finish up on Random Thoughts as I thought I did! I was able to put in the remaining motifs in a couple days! Here is a close up of the section I did last. The cat was tent stitch so it was a breeze! And here I had …

Here’s how the Heirloom Nativity is coming! I love it! So pretty! And this first part went rather quickly so that is nice. Now I did cheat a little bit on my plan..I got the first 7 bands done, but then I started up the 8th, just to finish up the evening last night. I …
