Trick or Treat Blog Hop 2022

Happy Halloween! It’s time once again for another of Jo’s famous blog hops! If you are visiting by happenstance why not go back to Jo’s and start at the beginning so you can collect the letters for the spooky mystery phrase? Otherwise, read on! My seasonal stitching is Little Black Cat by Bent Creek. I’ve done several others in this […]

Smalls Check In: October 2022

It’s the 10th Smalls Check In of the year! Only 2 more to go! How can THAT be?! I finished my Dutch Birds. Ta Dah! I really loved that Firestone red. I’m so glad for a chance to showcase it so nicely! I’m so glad I didn’t give in to buying the “correct” color. I have plenty left if I […]

MNO…P(raise Jesus)

Hi friends! We are enjoying cooler temperatures in the Phoenix area now. It is our nice time of year. I love the fresh mornings. I feel like we are hurtling towards the holidays and the end of the year. There is so much to do! Have I mentioned I am trying, and failing, to pick a color to repaint my […]

Gifted Gorgeousness: Dutch Birds

I’ve had very productive stitching time lately! I made very good progress on my Dutch Birds project. It was a gift to me after Summer School at The Attic-a great bonus of working in a shop! The design is by From The Heart. She has some very pretty, modest designs and I’m glad to see her work more on social […]

Little things

I’m enjoying stitching away on my little projects this month. I’ve nearly finished my Little Black Cat. It is from Bent Creek. I have no idea how I will finish it. Maybe a tiny frame and then I can sit it on the mantle with the fall decor. Though I don’t think I’m putting up fall decor this year as […]

Reinvigorating

I felt like I needed to reinvigorate my stitching life. I had so many plans for September that didn’t work out. I think I stitched 2 tiny leaves? bushes? whatever on Bathya, but didn’t get further than that. Why? I don’t know! I don’t really carry Bathya around with me to work on because I feel like she’s too intense […]

September 2022 Smalls Check In

I needed every minute of the last hours of this “long” month (long because the last Friday is the last day of the month this month!) to finish my small! Here it is, How Great Thou Art by The Nebby Needle. This hymn reminds me of my Grandma and going to her Lutheran church with her, as well as her […]

Sampler of Stitches GHI

Here’s another post for you! I finished GHI of the Sampler of Stitches today! This section gave me the most trouble of all of them but at last it is fine and I’m happy with it. For example, I really did not like stitching the God’s Eye stitch that makes the grapes. It is just too tiny to appreciate. But […]

Slumps and setbacks

Hello friends, I feel like I’m posting less frequently these days! But I’m still here and still stitching a little bit. I admit I’ve been in a bit of a slump. I really get my stitch fix at work at the Attic surrounded by all the beautiful projects and materials! And we’ve had a lot going on at home and […]
