I finished the Prairie Schooler 2001 Santa! Yay! This one is a gift and so I will definitely be making it over again for myself. Not this year though! I finished Santa a week or so ago and today I finished Spring Arose by Blackbird Designs. This turned out to be really enjoyable and I love the color palette. I […]
For the Christmas Ornies SAL last month, the theme was blingy ornaments. I could have stayed safe and done one of my numerous very blingy Mill Hill kits. But, I have really been wanting to do the Victoria Sampler Biscornuments and this was a good excuse. They were fast to stitch up so I made 2. Here are the parts, […]
OR How Regular Stitching Has Paid Off This Month. The kids are back in school, so that means I return to my regular schedule and some time to stitch in the car waiting for the pick up. And with the routine back in place, I also end up with some time in the evenings too. Nothing is fully finished but […]
I finished Fraktur Friends! I love it! (Where is my picture??) To celebrate, I kitted up all the things I hope to work on (and complete) in the next month. And then I started them all. First, the 2001 Prairie Schooler Santa. 2001 is important for me because it is my anniversary year. I like that the Santa for this […]
Earlier this summer, I wanted to shape up the situation on Joyful World. The extra fabric was driving me nuts and I was nervous about how it could get damaged or stained just all hanging out. And also as I re-position the project, I don’t want the q snap to press on the stitches. So. I finally cut some fleece […]
My July “Smalls” were more like “Mediums” for me. I did get in a good amount of stitching considering it is summer and my schedule has been…not a schedule. First, May for Joyful World. The cats are so cute! Again, no plan yet for the grass along the bottom. I am leaving all this ground for each month till last. […]
So, usually on vacation I take a bunch of stitching because I am on vacation and will have “all this time.” Then I am lucky to get one stitch in. This time I was not mentally optimistic, but I still came prepared just in case. And I did get a few nights of stitching done on May for Joyful World. […]
I finished my June Smalls SAL: isn’t she a sweetie? I love it so much I bought the companion pieces which are a Santa and a bell. I FFO’d my June Noel ornament for the ornies blog: This is such a versatile design I will definitely make it again. So next time hopefully the finishing won’t be such a mess!! […]
I’m winning against the pile of projects! I got those bands completed on Heirloom Christmas before July like I hoped. Yay! I even started the next band which is the 3 Wise Men: I love this project. It is so beautiful. Here’s a close up of the bands section I completed: The last stitch I learned, the green interwoven stitch […]
I picked up the Heirloom Nativity last week. I’m trying to get the bands done between the shepherds and kings before July. Then I will be about half done with this thing if you don’t count the hardanger at the bottom. That will feel like an accomplishment! I need to add the beads to the lace, finish the vine, and […]
