Welcome to the July Smalls Check In! Is anyone else in disbelief that we are over halfway through 2019? My goodness the year is now flying by! I was able to finish Erica Michael’s Tudor Rose this week-very happy with this small piece! I love the colors, the shape, just everything about it. This chart is from a club kit […]
Thank you so much, Jo, for this wonderful linkup! This month I will use it to blog when I have nothing really new to blog about! So if you’re a regular reader, get set for a trip down memory lane, and if not, get ready to see some “New To You” pieces I’ve shared before! When I first started stitching, […]
Well…I have been to Australia! Yes! We took took our five (5)…that’s FIVE children, ages 20 months to 11 on a 15 hour plane ride…to Australia. That was just fine. It was the 13 hours BACK that were difficult. But ALL worth it! It was a fantastic trip! And I did not get a lot of stitching done. Before: After: […]
Ah, July in Arizona. How hot you are. How you sap the energy! We had a very busy week last week, and this week I feel like I’m almost good for nothing! I just wanted to check in with a various projects I’m stitching on, not because it’s interesting, but so I can see where I’m at, and then compare […]
It’s that time again! Happy last Friday of the month! I just have a quick post for you today…I spent one night this week finishing up Angels by Little House Needleworks. This one is so cute! It had been my swimming lesson project last year and when swimming lessons were finished I put it away out of my bag and […]
Having gotten all those little finishes out of the way last week, I was eager to reward myself and start something new! But did I really deserve it? To find out, I decided to sort out my stitching basket and see what else needs doing first. Oh my I do have a number of neglected projects! It is embarrassing! It […]
One of my June goals is to finish Heirloom Nativity. I have been working on that. First I spent what seemed like an eternity stitching the kloster blocks. More than a few mistakes had to be corrected, but if not perfectly executed, the count is on and they all line up. Then I did the gold eyelets. No problems with […]
At last! I have my Finishes ready to show you! I am linking up with Rachel of Ten Hour Stitcher whose SAL helps motivate us towards fully finished objects. You know I’ve been getting a lot of stitching in even though it’s summer break for the kids right now, but finishing is another matter since I don’t seem to have […]
I’m linking up with Jo for her Gifted Gorgeousness SAL, where, if any part of your project has to do with being a gift or being made from a gift, you can join! I shared this on my instagram a little white ago, but here is the finish of the Sweetheart Tree Tooth Fairy Pillow I made for my 7 […]
I got them done! Here is Stitching Bee from Little House Needleworks! It will be finished as a little pillow with the materials included in the kit. And here is Peacock Pin Pillow from Beehive Needleworks. I think I will got ahead and turn this into a pillow too. I better get finishing!
