We had a long weekend up in Flagstaff for my son’s last baseball tournament. I got more stitching done than usual for a weekend getaway! Yay! And by done I mean finishes! Woo hoo! First, here’s June from Snowflower Diaries Joyful World Calendar: Then Bent Creek’s Buzzzz. So cute! It will be a little pin pillow. I already have the […]
I’ve been doing a lot of stitching here and there, but not really finishing anything. I keep thinking and hoping I’ll finish something so I can join in an SAL or have something of consequence to post but alas. It is the end of the school year. We are busy. I haven’t had time to finish things, much less post […]
My 6 year old will very soon be a 7 year old. She has yet to lose a baby tooth (yes, that’s late but she didn’t get her first tooth until she was 13 mos!) but some are starting to be wiggly so I needed to start her tooth fairy pillow so it can be a birthday present for her. […]
After finishing Leaping Cat last week I felt such a sense of accomplishment that I embarked on a stitching binge of which the main feature was picking up whatever project caught my eye and doing something with it. You’ve already seen Dilly Mouse but here’s what followed: First I started a project released at Nashville this year that I just […]
Welcome back for the April Smalls Check In! We are 1/3 of the way through the year! Wow! In Arizona, “spring” is winding down and we are heading definitely into our long, hot summer. We’ve already had days approaching 100 degrees where I am, and the kids inaugurated pool season on last weekend. The water is still a bit cool […]
I’m gonna finish this tonight!!! Ta Da!!! I love it! It is totally worth all the annoying moments!!! And now… a new start!
Happy Easter! Jo at Serendipitous Stitching is hosting her Easter blog hop again this year, where you must visit all the participants to collect the letters of a mystery phrase. Welcome, if you are visiting me from Jo’s! We are supposed to share a spring-y stitch with our post, too. Well, this isn’t my stitching but it is so pretty […]
I am DETERMINED to finish Leaping Cat this month. I had set aside other things toward that goal. I have completed the date of 2019 to cement my commitment! Now that I’m done with the grass, the 2 over 2 on the 36 count is not so terrible. It was hard to deal with in the “thick” areas, and when […]
I am linking up with Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher to participate in the Fully Finished Object SAL again this month. Thanks for hosting, Rachel! I did not get as much finished this month as I had hoped, but I did get one thing done that was time consuming and that I am especially proud of: This is Lorna Bateman’s […]
I am linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for her monthly SAL, Let the People Choose…and the people chose Specialty Stitches this month! I am firmly in the “Love Specialty Stitches” camp! My career as a needlewoman began with cross stitch and crewel almost simultaneously. Cross stitch is what stuck, although I remain fascinated by crewel and I bet […]
