My goal for April was to finish the Heirloom Anniversary from The Victoria Sampler. I even was bold enough to think it would be done by Easter. Ugh. I did not make it. I have to admit it took me a LONG time to find a rhythm with the Hardanger. I worry it could be a lot better, and am […]
Series of designs! Thank you, Jo for providing such an interesting theme to discuss! I enjoyed thinking on this topic, and look forward to others’ posts as well! Even though from my blog posts it may not seem like I don’t do much stitching of series, I certainly do a lot of collecting for it! And I do love seeing […]
For my small this month I finished up that little tiny bee project I shared with you a few months ago. I guess I put it aside and totally forgot it. I’m glad I remembered it as it only took 1/2 hour to finish up. That over one stitching with the hand spun/hand dyed silk was a bear. I will […]
Still being in the Easter season, it is appropriate to continue with our Alleluias! For my ornament this month for the Ornie SAL (this month’s theme was a free choice!) and Carol’s Instagram 12 in 12 ornament SAL I choose to do an Easter Egg ornament. It it out of a magazine, “Cross Stitch and Needlework” April 1998. An oldie […]
Thank you Rachel for hosting the FFO Gallery! I am just sneaking in under the wire. I feel like I have just been so darn busy lately I still have not had time to really get into my stitching properly in a while! I don’t know what’s going on but I haven’t had any night stitching sessions in several weeks. […]
It’s time for the annual Easter Blog Hop hosted by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching! I wanted to make up a quick project for you and I had this kit from the Silver Needle’s Secret Stitching Night. It’s not my usual thing but it sure is cute and perfect for the occasion! The bunny is stitched with Rainbow Gallery Angora yarn. […]
I’ve had no time for good long stitching sessions lately. What I’ve gotten done so far has happened bit by bit. I guess those bits add up but I’m not as far along as I’d like to be this month! I put the squirrel and his little tree on the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches: I have finished one side […]
I know I’d said I would concentrate on Heirloom Anniversary, but being so close to finishes on 2 items I just had to spend the first days of the month getting them done. Here is Holly Go Brightly Mouse from Just Nan: She was really just an hour away from being done! And she will be easy to FFO this […]
Ahhh the end of March! That means my birthday (which was Monday) and time for a round up of the month’s stitching. How is it where you are? Have you had a good stitching month? I have! Especially on Monday which I “took off” from my normal mom responsibilities to stitch all day. It was an overcast day, and even […]
It’s time for the 2022 March Smalls Link Up! I finished my Shepherd’s Bush Sheep Needle Case this month. I made it a quick start back in January and it was a quick finish this month. Here is the front… And the back! This project came from a kit with all the finishing materials. I have no excuse not to […]
