I was inspired this month to stitch up some very small smalls for the August SAL. They stitched up so quickly I didn’t have time for a progress picture so I saved them for you. First I did a little Shepherd’s Bush fob, I think it is called “Blooms.” It is very bright and cheery! It is a little big […]
I’m linking up with Rachel for the Fully Finished Gallery this month to share with you the Italian Peacocks Purse by Giulia Punti Antichi! I just love how it turned out. The peacock purse frame was the way to go. I think it goes really well. I have not been able to find a chain for the frame yet. If […]
Last night I managed to finish the Sampler Roll! It is super cute. I love the houses. Stitching the alphabets was fun, especially the pink one. The borders were easy. I added the little hearts next to the birds and think that looks good as my own touch. This was a nice stitch. I discovered my fabric was 36ct and […]
I am working on the Sampler Roll this week. In fact I am hoping it will be finished in about a week. It is easy stitching now…the rest of the bottom alphabet, and easy little bottom border… And filling in the shadow sides of all the little houses! After 4 tries I think I finally have a thread that works! […]
Well, this king took me much longer than I thought it would! Part of that was because it turned out that our vacation was one of those vacations when I just didn’t have any time to stitch. We had a good little getaway to San Diego and Carlsbad, CA. Highlights of the trip included the San Diego zoo, and Mission […]
It’s time again for our Smalls Check In! Can you believe it is been 5 whole weeks since last we met? I enjoy these months were we have extra time. Or rather I take advantage of them to get a few more stitches! This month is unusual for me too because for the first time I am not actually at […]
I can’t believe it’s time for another FFO Gallery link up! Thank you, Rachel for continuing to host this! This month evidently my personal theme is “Things with Wings.” I am proud to share my Amy Mitten Summer Casket Keepsake Butterfly for those who didn’t see it last week: And I have another butterfly to share, the Mill Hill Blue […]
The People’s Choice theme for July is Houses! This is perfect for me because this month I picked up a little piece that has not one, not two, but 10 houses on it! I have almost all the houses built. I couldn’t do the shadow side of the houses yet because I don’t like the floss color provided. It is […]
I just couldn’t wait to share this with you, I finished my Amy Mitten Butterfly! I took advantage of having to wait a couple hours for a minor car repair and thought I would just take it along and get it done! That was a successful plan. No interruptions! Quiet waiting room and good, bright florescent light! And aside from […]
