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 […]
I rang in 2019 with a big new start, my very first Chatelaine, Frosty Knot Garden!! Here is today’s work. It is so pretty with nice winter-y colors and the Petite Treasure Braid is SO sparkly and fun and I’m pleased with how quickly it’s moved along today!! I feel like I made a lot of progress in one day! […]
Merry Christmas to all my readers who celebrate! And to everyone, I hope this end of year season is restful for you and finding you well as we quickly approach 2019! It is time for taking stock of the year. As I look through my project bags I find they are all still full! (Do you like my bags? After […]
Today I am representing Day 15 for Jo at Serendipitous Stitching’s Advent Calendar, sharing this day with Ariadne from Greece’s blog. During this fun blog hop, Jo opens a “door” to a different blog each day of Advent and we post some Christmas stitching for all to enjoy! For my Christmas stitching I want to share with you my progress […]
I am working hard on Heirloom Nativity. I want to have all the stitching done before Christmas (not the hardanger, just the stitching, not the cutting!) What is left is the rest of the manger scene, the words, the final decorative band, and the hardanger “squares.” I am putting time into it every day, and it is growing and growing! […]
It’s the end of the year and things are getting finished up! I completed the stitching in Charmed by Raise the Roof last night: Next is the fun part: arranging all my charms on it!
…a Thanksgiving Day finish! Here is Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread! And also that I did not run out of “dark pine” thread! It was close! But I made it! All that’s left is the hem stitched border, which I plan to do in January. For now, happy dance! Wishing you and yours a joyful Thanksgiving weekend!
This past weekend I finished up the American Goldfinch kit from Crossed Wing Collection for my mom’s birthday present. While it sure is cute, it is hard to sustain the micro stitching for long. Good thing it’s a little project! I finished it in a Tim Holtz watch fob like I did with my cardinal last year. This is an […]
Well! I didn’t have as much to finish up on Random Thoughts as I thought I did! I was able to put in the remaining motifs in a couple days! Here is a close up of the section I did last. The cat was tent stitch so it was a breeze! And here I had saved it till last! Since […]
