My small this month is the little Victoria Sampler Beyond Cross Stitch kit I am making into a box top for my daughter’s First Communion/Confirmation. It’s a sweet little thing! The pulled stitches were easy once I figured out the rhythm and they turned out so pretty I think. I have been unable to find the identical box I used […]
In honor of her 10th Anniversary of blogging, my friend Jo of Serendipitous Stitching has invited her readers to write a “10 for 10” post. I’m happy to participate! Jo is such a welcoming, friendly, and thoughtful person, and is the hostess par excellence of blog hops throughout the year. Congratulations on your 10 years, Jo! It is a huge […]
I am linking up for this month’s Gifted Gorgeousness blog hop with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching. I don’t usually participate in this one but I have Things To Share this time! Last month was my birthday and I got a VERY special stitching gift from my husband. It is Jewel of the Sea by Georgina Bellamy which was in the […]
Here she is! Catherine Agnes is done! Happy Dance! Isn’t she just lovely? The specialty stitches were so creative and elaborate in this one. I won’t say all of them were the most fun thing I ever stitched but they’re all so pretty! I loved the colors especially the plummy purple (Grape from Caron Waterlilies). It was fun to stitch […]

I guess I’m a little afraid of commitment to stitching projects as I do love to jump around and stitch what strikes me in the moment. But I’ve got a whole basket of Bucket List […]
I put the first stitches in the Italian Peacocks Purse. This will go quickly if I work on it diligently, But I’m not going to. I want to make progress on my hard projects and that will never happen if I keep doing the easy ones! I couldn’t resist making a start on another Bucket List project which I thought […]
I missed the March FFO Gallery but I’m here to make up for it with the April one! I have several things finished up to share with you. You’ve seen them all finished before, recently, because I am mostly caught up with the things I care about finishing, and let’s be honest, which are easy and inexpensive enough to finish! […]
I guessed right! 2 more stitching nights and I finished Deerfield! I have to say I really enjoyed a piece that was 100% cross stitch after all the special stitch heavy projects I’ve been doing lately. It finished up so quickly too! This will be framed and go on the wall with my small samplers display. In my newly empty […]
