No time!

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 […]

First, finishes

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 […]

Birthday Stitching and the End of Month Report

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 […]

March 2022 Smalls Link Up

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 […]

Mid March Progress Report

I’ve been stitching away on a variety of projects this month. It’s kind of been a hodgepodge and this update is long overdue! Here is Jeannette Douglas’s ABC Sampler with a few letters added: As I’ve been working on this I have been questioning some of my colors. The color used in the double dividing line and the J for […]

February (no March!) Gifted Gorgeousness

I had prepared this post for February’s Gifted Gorgeousness but got distracted and didn’t post it! Sorry! I think the issue was I had not taken my pictures! I do not have an intermediate picture-just the most current views…oh well. Anyway, I was working on the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Anniversary as a gift for my parents for their 50th anniversary […]

March 2022 FFOs

Many thanks again to Rachel for giving me a reason to FFO some pieces this month and share them with you! I finished up the Sugar Plum Fairy from Satsuma Street. The designer sent me a whole new bead packet and guess what? It’s a good thing I asked her about this because the packet that came in my kit […]

I made a bee skep!

I saw this charming bee skep pin cushion at The Attic many years ago. It was not an item for sale but something on the desk for the staff to use. Well…last year it piqued my interest again and I hunted the internet for bee hive pin cushion. Lo and behold, I found it! It was a kit from Teresa […]

February 2022 Smalls Link Up

Hello Friends! It is (past) time for the February Smalls Link Up! I’m so sorry this post is late! Several of my family members have been sick (not Covid!) and we had a big event last night (Friday) for the start of the softball season. I was in charge of the activities on the fun field and got totally preoccupied! […]

A baseball weekend

Baseball season is in full swing (ha ha) here and soon I’ll have 4 kids on 4 teams. This weekend it was *only* 3 on 3 and I got to do the honors of taking the #1 son to his travel games. That meant lots of stitching time!! I made great progress on Heirloom Anniversary! The boys have to be […]
