Yay! I have finished the Victoria Sampler Biscornuments series! I made the last ornament my final start of 2022 on New Year’s Eve, and was able to complete it on New Year’s Day! I “saved” this one for last because it struck me as less interesting than the others but I think it just didn’t …

The People Choose…
BEADS! Many thanks to Jo for hosting the People’s Choice Blog Hop! Oh man, I had no witches to show you last month, I don’t think I even have one pattern with witches on it! But beads I have in spades! I love designs that use some beads to add sparkle, dimension, and interest to …
June 2022 Gifted Gorgeousness
I’m linking up with Jo at Serendipitous Stitching to share my super gorgeous gift for my parents’ 50th Anniversary…you saw the creation, and now here is the (almost) finish (the frame is on backorder…it’s a long story!!) Sandy, who is the framer at The Attic, mounted it for me. Perfect as always. I will give …
June 2022 FFO Gallery
It was like pulling teeth but I managed to get my little FFOs done this month! As always I’m linking up with Rachel to share my work, and to thank her for the much-needed kick in the pants I once again needed to get anything fully finished! Here is my sweet little Sugar Plum Fairy …
May 2022 Smalls Check In!
Ahhh…It’s already time to check in with our May Small Stitches! I feel like this month has just FLOWN by. My goodness. Can it already be summer? My kids are done with school today and now get 2 months to goof off. My stitching productivity will probably plummet since I won’t be sitting in the …
WIP MAYnia #4! A start on my smalls!
After a lot of fun progress with the last couple WIPs, I really did need to make up a small for this month. I really felt that Miss Holly Go Brightly mouse needed a friend right away, and here she is, the Sugar Plum Fairy mouse. She just needs some finishing touches, finishing the white …
Heirloom Anniversary is DONE! And now I can enjoy a WIP MAYnia!
I got really bogged down in the Heirloom Anniversary the past few months. I think “obligation stitching” will do that. If you know you are “supposed” to be stitching something, it can become something of a chore! But a happy chore nonetheless! And here it is, my Heirloom Anniversary Square! If I do say so …

Heirloom Anniversary…not quite
My goal for April was to finish the Heirloom Anniversary from The Victoria Sampler. I even was bold enough to think it would be done by Easter. Ugh. I did not make it. I have to admit it took me a LONG time to find a rhythm with the Hardanger. I worry it could be …
The People Choose…
Series of designs! Thank you, Jo for providing such an interesting theme to discuss! I enjoyed thinking on this topic, and look forward to others’ posts as well! Even though from my blog posts it may not seem like I don’t do much stitching of series, I certainly do a lot of collecting for it! …
