Many stitchers, I know, try to finish up a few last projects at the end of the year. Count me among them, I too had to wrap up a few loose ends! First is an ornament I stitched WAY earlier in the year, this little mitten from Mill Hill. This one was started by my grandma and only had about […]
Merry Christmas! With the last Friday of the month also being Christmas, I am late posting this! But maybe nobody is going to be fussing with blog updates today anyway! I have nothing new since my Advent Calendar post. This is my small finish for the month, Jeannette Douglas’ Cozy Into Winter. I didn’t have a chance to do anything […]
Welcome, welcome if you are visiting from Jo’s Online Advent Calendar! (If not why not click over to Serendipitous Stitching and check it out?) Each day in December a different blog features some Christmas stitching so there is a lot to see, since now is the 23rd! If you’ve been following along this month you know I’ve been working on […]
I’m determined to get one of my stitches done before Christmas and it’s time to decide which I will focus on. It’s going to be… Cozy Into Winter. I just have to finish the colored diamonds on the border and the specialty stitch bands. I can get that done amid the wrapping, baking, Christmas letters, decorating…Oh my there is a […]
I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher for the last Fully Finished Object Gallery of 2020! I was not sure I could get any of my pieces FFO’d this month so anything counts as a triumph! First, of course I HAD to do my daughter’s rocking horse ornament. Here it is on the tree. Oof. This was the […]
Stitching Disasters! I am linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for the final “Let the People Choose” of 2020. It is a tragi-comic theme this month…stitching disasters! I liked the questionnaire Jo included and it was fun to fill out. Stitching disasters are always horrifying in the moment, but for me, most of them are the kinds of problems […]
I have a little report this week on my two December stitches. Here is Deerfield. I’m still loving this one. And here is Cozy Into Winter. I am not enthusiastic about the satin stitch stars. I will have to do a little at a time with them because they are not very fun. I hate satin stitch over 1 and […]
I realized suddenly this month that I don’t think I’ve stitched any Christmas ornaments this year! Well, I had to change that state of affairs! A while ago I had kitted an ornament from Just Cross Stitch Magazine 2001. It is called Gemstone Heart by Hermanson Hardanger. Since it was ready to go, I picked it up. Except for the […]
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! I hope you all had a wonderful day and were able to check in with loved ones even if you could not be with them this year. We had a nice day, just our family, DH, me and the 5 kids. We watched the Macy’s parade in the AM (I cried a little […]
I mentioned a little while ago I was making a big fun plan for next year! Oh, I enjoyed writing this post! I don’t think I’m the only one who can’t wait for 2021. Many of my neighbors have already had their Christmas decorations up for weeks, in a hurry, it seems, to get to the end of the year. […]
