Interspersed with the finishing I’ve just shown, I’ve been stitching along on my planned projects this month. I’m right in the middle of them. Here is last weekend’s work on the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches: And this weekend’s work so far on Betsy Morgan’s Spanish Etui : Interestingly enough, the dark red in both of these is the same…Rosewood […]
It was like pulling teeth but I managed to get my little FFOs done this month! As always I’m linking up with Rachel to share my work, and to thank her for the much-needed kick in the pants I once again needed to get anything fully finished! Here is my sweet little Sugar Plum Fairy Mouse! I left the pom […]
This was a little goal I had in my head for this month…to finish the alphabet part of Jeannette Douglas’s ABC Sampler. I figured if I could get my colors sorted for the ABCs, the little band and spot motifs on the bottom at least would have colors I could choose from, and there would be fewer decisions to make! […]
Woo hoo! It’s June 5 and I’ve finished Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll! I had lots of time to stitch Saturday since my son had a double header (4 hours of baseball watching for me!) and then I watched the little kids swim for an hour too. After those 5 hours all I had left was the blue pot on […]
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. […]
