This first week of the new year has seen some good stitching! While I don’t have my WIPGO board ready yet, I do know some of the things I will be working on this month and so I got started. I have to admit to massaging my board a little bit to suit my plans for January! I guess that’s […]
Merry Christmas! We are enjoying a home week. Nothing much to do, plenty of leftovers and snacks, and fun presents that are occupying our time nicely. My best stitching presents: 2 kits from Inspirations and Mother Of Pearl treasures from Jackie duPlessis. Also I got needles and finger pads, and a nice pair of rose gold colored scissors. The pretty […]
When I was going through my bead stuff recently, I rediscovered this little kit I bought a while ago, it is more stitching beads on felt. I put off doing it because the instructions are a poor translation to English from Ukranian and I knew I would need to mostly follow the picture, not the written instructions. I wasn’t up […]
OH MY GOODNESS! So much to stitch these days! Plus all the busy-ness of the holidays! Here’s what’s in my lap and under my needle and being toted around to waiting rooms and school events in the rush before Christmas…. I have gotten some stitching in on my vintage Jiffy crewel kit. Santa comes along bit by bit. No plans […]
The cuteness will not stop with these felt ornament kits! Both of these were a breeze to make and stitched up very quickly over the weekend. The next kit is beautiful but more labor intensive. And it is actually the one piece that sold me on the collection. I can’t wait to show you!
Elf is cute! My my! I don’t have anything more to say. The Kiriki Press Advent calendar is delightful.
I finished the second Kiriki Press ornament today! It’s very cute. The 3rd ornament is an elf. It’s adorable. But it has many tiny pieces. I have decorating to do so I won’t start it until tomorrow perhaps. I can’t believe it is December 1, 1st Sunday of Advent, and 24 days to Christmas. There’s a lot to do!
There have been so many enticing offerings from various stitching sources recently, I have been so excited about the possibilities for new projects! I absolutely could not resist the adorable Advent box offered by Kiriki Press…12 kits to make felt ornaments over the course of December…the ornaments revealed in the teasers leading up to the release were all darling. I […]
I wanted to stitch…I didn’t know what. I wanted to do something new. The holidays are coming. It has been quite a while since I’ve picked up crewel. I do enjoy a bit of crewel and I have a small collection of Chris Davenport designs of ornaments. I decided one of those would do. The Santa. Here is my start: […]
Look! I made a really cute thing! It was a present for my co-worker at The Attic, Carolyn. She loves pink and bling-y things so a pink wool tomato and some fancy pins! I put it on the shelf when it was finished and my Japanese lady was looking over at it so I have to take a picture of […]
