I loved having a Bucket List of projects for 2021. Now of course I didn’t get to everything but I also found I didn’t want to! Sometimes stitching something not on my list was more appealing at the moment! And I did want to keep up with my smalls and a few other “on a whim” stitches to mix it […]
Continuing the banner month of FFO’s for Rachel’s FFO Gallery here are the Smalls I finished up this month. I bought a little Sudberry House pin cushion for Jeannette Douglas’ Fall Posey. I went with a twisted cord instead of the suggested chenille trim. I just couldn’t find a color I loved with it and pom poms were too “fun” […]
I don’t usually do a Gifted Gorgeousness post, but it’s that time of year to start thinking about Christmas gifts and I have a few I want to stitch up for some special people in my family. I don’t think they read my blog (if you are a family member reading my blog stop now so you don’t spoil your […]
Oh boy, I have a lot of FFOs to share this month so I’m making 2 posts! First up are the framed pieces. I like to get frames from Hobby Lobby and frame things myself. They have been out of “good” frames for a long time due to supply issues but when I was in last month they were finally […]

I don’t actually do a lot of Halloween stitching, but I […]
For this month’s Smalls check in, I got 2 little things done. First, I finished off Christmas Fruit Basket by Threadwork Primitives, which I had started on vacation earlier this month. I stitched it with almost all the called for colors on some Zweigart that I dyed myself with coffee. Some of my dye lots are quite different from those […]
LEAVES! One thing I love about Jo’s People’s Choice Blog Hop is running around looking at all my stitching and trying to find out what fits the month’s theme. That was especially true this month because I don’t know that I’ve ever stitched something that is only leaves, but I bet more than half the things I’ve stitched have leaves […]
Well there’s no bird yet and to me this looks brown, not yellow, but La D Da’s Yellow Bird is stitching up quickly this week. I think it is striking on the printed linen. All that is left is the bird. The border was not as tedious as I thought it might be. It’s enjoyable to watch the variegated colors […]
