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 …
My Three Big WIPs
I went into this year with 3 bigger projects: Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread, Heirloom Nativity by Victoria Sampler, and Baby Celebration by Just Nan. Now do you even remember those first two?!

Snatching Stitches
On a busy weekend, the best I can hope for my stitching is to grab what time I can here and there. The result of that this weekend is the addition of a bunch of the birds to the Drawn Thread piece. The photo on the chart is so tiny, it is hard to appreciate …
