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 […]
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 […]
I have TOO MANY samplers I want to work on this month! I must pare it way down if I hope to make any progress!!! Fortunately I also have some good stitching time available, I hope, so I will get a chance to work on what I do pick. Here’s my preview… Bathya. I hoped to work on her again […]
After my horrible weekend of picking out all my work, I buckled down Sunday night, stayed up way too late, and got on a roll with some good progress. Finally! I kept it going and was able to get most of G and H finished before the end of the month, and also start on I. Sigh of RELIEF! I […]
I’m so mad. I usually only have visit from “tadpoles” but this weekend was visited by a big bad ugly FROG. Maybe even it was a toad. I started GHI of the Sampler of Stitches. I did the first 3 motifs…I started the frame and the letter G. Lots of red thread ok? I thought I’d take a break on […]
Here is my Small for August. Indeed it is the only thing I stitched on this month at all. I am a little bummed about that. I hope next month will have more stitching. However, I do like this finish. It is so refreshing and tranquil when life has been so hot and hectic this month! Mountain Lake from Louise […]
I’ve been enjoying my little full coverage project “Mountain Lake.” Once I had “the bones” in—the larger color areas and darkest chart symbols—it’s been fun to fill in the missing pieces like doing a puzzle. I only had to take out 3 stitches due to miscounting. Yay! I’m glad it is small. Without seeing the light at the end of […]
It’s been a little quiet around here hasn’t it?! Please don’t worry, I’m well but the last two weeks have been extraordinarily busy. I went on a mother/daughter weekend retreat with my 12 year old two weeks ago and chaperoned my 14 year old son on his 9th grade camp out this past weekend. These were special experiences but left […]
Ta DAH! The lid was fun. It only took me until doing the lid to figure out the color scheme of this project with some accuracy! I’ve mostly been relying on the color copy of the project for color placement but not all my colors are positioned correctly. That’s ok. It still looks good! You do not stitch the central […]
I finished the fourth side of the Spanish Sampler Etui! It wasn’t hard. I just needed to do it. The next thing I should do are the inner pockets which are a simple satin stitch pattern. But I decided to tackle the lid. I’m still loving this project!
