In an effort to catch up and get going again, I just want to share with you all some of the stitching that has actually happened around here in spite of the lack of blogging about it… I don’t really remember when these little things got started or finished or worked on or whatever so …
Sampler September 2023
For my Sampler September, I am working on the Mexican Stag Sampler from Samplers Remembered. A customer at The Attic purchased this and I fell in love with the Gumnut silks palette. Wow are they beautiful. I am stitching on the called for 40 count Weeks Straw. I started with just the bouquet and a …
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 …
Sampler September 2022
I have TOO MANY samplers I want to work on this month! I must pare it way down if I hope to make any progress!!! Fortunately I also have some good stitching time available, I hope, so I will get a chance to work on what I do pick. Here’s my preview… Bathya. I hoped …
WIP MAYnia #5! Luz Gonzalez!
I LOVE LUZ! I love the satin stitch/bargello patterns. I love the huge flowers. I couldn’t decide what to work on so I did a little of both. Here is where I started… Here she is at the end of the long weekend: I don’t mind taking my time working on this. It is so …

What HAVE I been doing?
I feel like I went dark there the past week or so after a flurry of posts at the start of the January. Well, I was making something for my Secret Stitching Sweetheart. If you would like to know more about this Valentine blog hop, check it out HERE. There is information at the bottom …
Happy New Year! A 2021 Summary
In 2021 I had 28 finishes. It is much less than the number of finishes as 2020 (42 I think?) but most of them were a good deal more complex. And several of them were off my “bucket list,” projects I deemed to be high priorities in my stitching career. I also had a good …
The First Thread: a trio of “Naughty November” starts.
Can it be the 3rd Monday or November already? It is! In the USA it is Thanksgiving this Thursday. After Thanksgiving I spend the rest of the year attempting to apply the brakes as we rush towards Christmas, hoping to maintain a sense of peace and calm through Advent. But with the kids’ excitement, and …

Sampler Roll Finished!
Last night I managed to finish the Sampler Roll! It is super cute. I love the houses. Stitching the alphabets was fun, especially the pink one. The borders were easy. I added the little hearts next to the birds and think that looks good as my own touch. This was a nice stitch. I discovered …
