I finished up Hedgie the Hedgehog by Just Nan this weekend! He came out so cute! Since it’s my second Just Nan finish in this “strawberry” shape, I figure I have exactly enough experience to do a little tutorial on this type of finish in case anyone out there is on the fence about making one of these cuties and […]
I’ve been working on three things lately that are showing progress. I know I’ve been posting mostly finishes, but I’ve been stitching on a lot of unfinished things too! First of all, I decided, Miss Mousie needs a friend RIGHT AWAY! I started Hedgie and he will be done this week probably. Hedgie will be a good friend to protect […]
Hello Smalls Stitchers! How is your March going out? Like a lion or a lamb? Mine is going out with a Squeak! I made a mouse! I got a hankering to do a quick stitch this week and this project has been staring at me for months. It is Just Nan’s Minerva’s Mouse which I was lucky enough to find […]
Finally! I am ready to post the work I’ve been doing lately! I’ve been stitching on lots of little things! I finished my submission for the Ornies SAL. I chose A Star, A Star by The Sunflower Seed from the 2007 issue of Just Cross Stitch Ornaments. I really like how it came out! I thought I had the perfect […]
I have to say, this SAL run by Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher is GREAT for me to give me that kick in the pants I need in order to FFO some projects! Thank you, Rachel, for the wonderful idea of starting this SAL! This month I framed 2 projects which I stitched last year. I am glad to get […]
I am having a slow start to the month of March. I feel like February was a blitz of stitching and posting and March well, maybe I’m a little burnt out! Plus it is Lent and I do attempt to reduce my screen time and my indulgent hobby time in favor of more reflective and penitential activities. But I realize […]
Well friends, we had a short month this month! It can’t get any shorter, in fact, than for a Friday check in to fall on the 22nd. I hope most of you were able to complete a Small, and remember, it’s ok to double dip and turn in a Small for this SAL that you stitched for another SAL! I […]
I have been enjoying working on my Chatelaine, Frosty Knotgarden: The progress is slower now! There is actually white filled in around the right branch but you can’t really tell. In fact there are 2 shades of white. I’m not sure how necessary that was for the integrity of the design! Ah, well maybe it will be richer in the […]
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 […]
