Nashville Market is an inspiring time of year at a needlework shop. Seeing so many new things just makes you want to buy it all and stitch it all and all at once! Not having some much stitching lately and having my stuff packed up makes me especially vulnerable to this sort of market fever! …
A New Vignette. A Framed Favorite. My Stitching Tool Box.
I have finally gotten around to unpacking my smalls, and I have made a new vignette for my display by the front door! I had purchased a large pedestal stand for my Advent candles this year. (I never found a wreath I liked, so I just got this pedestal stand and put big pillar candles …

June 2023 Smalls Check In
We’re half way through 2023 and it’s time for the June Smalls Check In! Mine is no surprise…I finished the front cover of my Birds of a Feather needlebook from Stacy Nash: This bird is the cutest! It’s the reason I got the chart. It reminds me of the William Morris strawberry thief. I decided …
Another basket and even one more bird!
Last weekend I was camping with my 2 bigs kids and some friends. I needed a tiny project for down time. I selected Strawberry Liberty from Chessie and Me. Here is how it’s going. Maybe it will be my June small. One of them. Because I had yet another bird to stitch! I had to …

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 …
April 2023 Smalls Check In
I’m a little late today with creating the Smalls Check In! Sorry about that! I’ve been enjoying slowly getting back to my stitching this month. There’s just so much fun stuff to work on, I’ve been in a sort of chaos-unfocused mode! But I did make a start on one of my favorite Nashville releases…Stacy’s …
September (No! October!) 2022 Fully Finished Objects
I devoted a good bit of time last month to finishing 2 nice projects I completed earlier this year. But I didn’t finish them in time to share in September, so here I am sharing in October. First I turned the Chessie and Me kitty project into a needlebook. The design is called Under the …

Summer Garden Roll Finished!
Woo hoo! It’s June 5 and I’ve finished Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll! I had lots of time to stitch Saturday since my son had a double header (4 hours of baseball watching for me!) and then I watched the little kids swim for an hour too. After those 5 hours all I had left …
WIP MAYnia #3! Summer Garden Roll!
You all know what’s up now with my WIP MAYnia project…here’s where I started on Friday on Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll… My goal was to finish a page (it’s only 2 pages) I did it plus a little extra! The first page seems to have the most stitching with that big flower pot. I …
