What a strange Easter we will have this year. In my life I have never missed church on Easter and it will seem very odd indeed to watch Mass on TV, and, in fact, to participate in all the Triduum services virtually from home. Of course our stitching community is always virtual and that is a comfort to have no […]
I felt like I needed to do something new for spring so I looked through my stash and pulled out March Hare by Just Nan this week. It was a 2 day stitch for me. Ta Dah! Cute!
My husband wanted to know what I wanted to do on my birthday this past weekend, and I bet you can guess what I said! I wanted some nice long uninterrupted stitching time! I started on Autumn Quakers. My mom gave me the linen as part of my present. I have the first little corner motif done. This is my […]
In spite of all the upending of normal life these past few weeks I do have a few things to show you for the Smalls check in! First I finished my Grandma’s Mill Hill Patchwork mitten. It just needs its backing felt. I picked up a tiny little monogram fob project from La D Da…this is truly a small Small: […]
Most of my stitching this week has been on WTNT’s Pink Sparrow. It is just a very nice, easy piece to work on, I’ve found-lovely colors, good variety. The titular Pink Sparrow is in. He is not as pink as I thought, just that little spot on his head, but that’s ok. There is plenty of pink in this. I […]
It is my birthday later this month, so it truly would be a shame for me to not include a Gifted Gorgeousness post this month! I realize I never shared with you some very nice presents my husband gave me for Christmas! You may realize by now that I aspire to Adventurous Stitching. Now my eyes may be bigger than […]
It’s a framing month! I finally got around to ordering some frames for a few pieces that have been finished for a while and are deserving of proper display. Framing is always more time consuming and picky than I think it will be, but the results are always worth it. I just love seeing my projects on the wall. So […]
So I did pick up a new focus piece for this month, and it’s going along nicely! I decided to work on The Pink Sparrow Sampler from With Thy Needle and Thread. I have almost finished the first page (there are 4 pages in the pattern). Maybe I can get it done in a month! I am also finishing up […]
Welcome to the February 2020 Smalls SAL Check In! I got quite a bit of Smalls stitching in this month. I already showed off a couple Mill Hill ornaments and even squeezed in one more Snow Crystal! This one is Sapphire Snow Crystal. These snow crystals are super quick to stitch and very effective with the sparkly beads. Now I […]
I decided, finally, the I would just go ahead and focus on Frosty Knot Garden in February and not feel guilty about any other projects I had waiting so forlornly in my projects basket. I’m pleased I did, I really made good progress on it this month! It’s a very enjoyable stitch. At this point it is still all symmetrical […]
