Well, I am LATE with this posting but it’s a good long one! Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher has created a wonderful new SAL to encourage FFOs this year! Posts are supposed to be up by the 10th of the month, but I needed a little extra time for various reasons! Nonetheless, this is an excellent SAL for me because […]
My Gifted Gorgeousness post for this month will be a surprise for you all as the recipient is a reader (Hi, Karen!) so I have been making it in secret! She has received it now so I can make my reveal! Oh this was so pretty to make! It is a free pattern from The Little Stitcher which you can […]
Happy St. Valentine’s Day! In honor of the day, Jo at Serendipitous Stitching has organized a Secret Stitching Sweetheart bloghop for us. Jo collects our Valentines and swaps them around for us and then we visit all the participants in order to see who received our picture. My Sweetheart stitched this beautiful bouquet! Isn’t that lovely? The pastel flowers on […]
I’m linking up with Jo from Serendipitous Stitching for February’s People’s Choice…the theme is Hearts! My latest finish features Rhodes Hearts. This is one of Victoria Sampler’s “Biscornuments” I’ve stitched a few hearts which I’ve shown in the past, here are some for Christmas: I even have this felt applique one! “Someday” I will make the other 11 days in […]
I am making 2 little biscornus this month for some SALs I’m trying to participate in. First is one of The Victoria Sampler’s “Biscornuments” which has Rhodes Hearts on it. It will show up in honor of several SALvposts later this week. I tried to get it done today but I spent all afternoon making tassels and cording. I just […]
My husband took the 3 big kids on the school’s Dads Club Winter Camp this weekend. Where we live our overnight lows don’t often go below freezing and there is never snow so this was a big deal for the kids and gave me long evenings to stitch after the little kids were asleep. I “watched” ( because how can […]
Can you believe it is already the last Friday in January and time to check in with our first Smalls post of the year? 2019 is already flying by! Because I live in Arizona, USA, which is Mountain Time, and I know many of you are far to the east of me, I am putting up the post up on […]
I have a double dipping post for Jo’s SALs at Serendipitous Stitching this week. Some of my new starts this month, which are part of the New Starts in January for People’s Choice were also gifts, qualifying for the Gifted Gorgeousness SAL. This week I started Plum Street’s Birthday Tart, the chart was a Christmas present from my husband. Really, […]
I am loving the Chatelaine Frosty Knot Garden. This weekend my husband and I watched The Hobbit. The Extended Edition. That thing is nearly 9 hours long. I liked the movie but I do not like watching battle scenes and there were many battle scenes. So, I got a lot of stitching in! Here are my before, during, and after […]
I can’t even believe it. I finished 34 projects (Or segments of bigger projects) last year. Now not all of them were started in 2018 so don’t be so impressed and think I started AND finished that many in one year! Or even suppose that all the final finishing was done! And yes most of them are small or ornament […]
