I didn’t do anything else this morning until I had finished Jane Plenderleath! I was so close I just had to. It was one more hour of stitching and Ta Dah! As I got to the end I went back and picked out several sets of letters to change them to my family initials. If you look you will see […]
I’ve made more good progress on Jane this past week. The border is matched up! This stitch is full of on purpose and on accident “personalizations” but at least no significant counting errors! Yay! The finish is in sight! I meant to spend Mother’s Day making a big finish. It didn’t work out. An essential component of the finish was […]
Look at all the stitching I got done on Jane since last weekend! The bottom half is done done done! I redid the trees how I wanted them and “fixed” the smoke from the chimneys that was off center in the design and driving me nuts. I did that whole middle flower band and got a good start on the […]
As much fun as it is to go skippity hop from one project to another, it is more satisfying to finish something so I’m going to do a mostly monogamous May and strive for a substantial finish! The stitch of choice is Jane Plenderleath from Needlework Press. I don’t even remember the last time I showed her on the blog […]
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! Now that it’s May […]
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 Nash’s Birds of a Feather […]

If you are here by accident and would like to start at the beginning of the game, please click here to see the first blogger in the hop…and I’ll see you again really soon! Otherwise, read on! I did not have a new Easter stitch for you this year, so […]
For my little bitty small for March here is a pin cushion designed by Indigo Rose. I do love the specialty stitches in her designs and the use of variegated silk. I bought this kit second hand with the lovely little Nantucket basket. It took maybe 3 short stitching sessions and finished in a half hour, no sewing, just coaxing […]
I’m really proud of my FFOs this month because they were challenging and they came out well. First up is Philanthropic Pumpkin from Hands On Design. I’m so grateful to my stitching friend for loaning me her chart! Thank you dear! Coming up with the right color trims was tricky, and ultimately I comprised on color, but it worked out […]
Happy March! Here is Arizona it is coming in like a lion with an exceptionally windy day. I hope we don’t lose any trees! I am writing a quick post to let you all know I am taking a break for a little bit. I will still check in with an FFO mid month, and a Small for the end […]
