Whew! My May stitching was so fun. I enjoyed my own little WIP Maynia. I made a lot of progress on a lot of projects! Now I need a plan for June. I will focus on finishing 2 projects for sure: The Stacy Nash Summer Garden Roll (hopefully this weekend!) Here’s my progress the past 2 days. I feel sure, […]
My final WIP for this May was the ABC Sampler by Jeannette Douglas. I started here… And just did one night stitching. I was quick and got 4 new letters done. B, D, K, and Y. I am more happy and confident with my colors. I still need to change the black U for purple. I think I’ll work on […]
I LOVE LUZ! I love the satin stitch/bargello patterns. I love the huge flowers. I couldn’t decide what to work on so I did a little of both. Here is where I started… Here she is at the end of the long weekend: I don’t mind taking my time working on this. It is so gorgeous. I love the Au […]
I was working on Luz this week but needed a smaller project as a take along so I grabbed the small I’m planning to make for June. This is the Blue Flower Pindrum from La D Da. It’s a fast stitch!! I’m almost half done! This one is just too sweet. I really love it.
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 school pick up line…but I […]
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 smrynas and adding the bling. […]
You all know what’s up now with my WIP MAYnia project…here’s where I started on Friday on Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll… My goal was to finish a page (it’s only 2 pages) I did it plus a little extra! The first page seems to have the most stitching with that big flower pot. I feel like the rest should […]
This week I focused on the next side of the Spanish Sampler Etui by Betsy Morgan. This is another one of those “little bit at a time” projects. I started here, with 2 sides done and a tiny start on the border on the 3rd side: I’m pleased to have finished the 3rd side and base. I have not decided […]
Many stitchers on social media do the MAYnia event, which I think is originated as a challenge to start a new project every day in May. Goodness. 31 starts would make me very stressed. I am encouraged by those who modify it to make a challenge that works for them. I will be one of those and work diligently on […]
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 myself, that is some good […]
