I got busy in December and wasn’t able to join Rachel’s FFO Gallery with all my Christmas finishes like I’d hoped! And I’m just squeaking in this month too. In fact you’ll have to check back in later as I couldn’t get my photos in before the link up closed tonight! Anyway… I really owed …

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 …
Fancy Finishes! Every month Jo hosts us over at Serendipitous Stitching for a themed blog hop. And Fancy Finishes, the theme for December, is right up my alley! If you’ve read my blog for any length of time you know I do like to try my hand at some fancy finishing. Especially this year I …
I was not able to get an FFO post this month because we’ve been so, so busy! My sister in law was visiting and I’ve been baking and making and cleaning and decorating. Maybe I should share some pictures so you can see how I’ve been using my stitching time, because truly it has been …

For this month’s Smalls check in, I got 2 little things done. First, I finished off Christmas Fruit Basket by Threadwork Primitives, which I had started on vacation earlier this month. I stitched it with almost all the called for colors on some Zweigart that I dyed myself with coffee. Some of my dye lots …
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 …
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 …
I missed the March FFO Gallery but I’m here to make up for it with the April one! I have several things finished up to share with you. You’ve seen them all finished before, recently, because I am mostly caught up with the things I care about finishing, and let’s be honest, which are easy …
I finished Vintage Mini Pinwheel by Threadwork Primitives to share with you for the Smalls check in this month. It will be an easy FFO (a round pinwheel) and I even found some perfect little pins to stick in it. You’ll see it again soon for the April FFO gallery. What have you been working …
In the midst of working on my bigger projects I don’t want to neglect monthly smalls stitching! I have 2 little ones I’m picking up here and there. This is Flowers by Lizzie Kate. When the designer announced her retirement several years ago I stocked up on her designs for my collection and this was …
