My WIPs leftover from last year are all my big projects, which to be honest, I hadn’t worked on in months. However when I got them out, I could not resist starting in on them; they are now “active” again. Here’s where I’m at: Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread, maybe 1/3-1/2 complete: Ohhh I do still love this one! […]
Happy New Year!!! I feel like I should really take stock of my finishes for 2017 in one post to get a sense of what I really got done. I finished many smalls and many ornaments, thanks mostly to the smalls/ornaments SALs I’ve participated in! Here are my pin cushions: The two on the top left were stitched in 2016 […]
This has been such a fun and motivating SAL this year! Thank you so much, Heather, for offering us something that resulted in so much work done! I feel like I really accomplished a lot! Without further ado, here is my last small for the year, Little House Needlework’s Quaker Birds ornament, in which I changed the colors to blue […]
I’m zooming in on completion of 2 more ornaments for the tree this year! First I have the Little House Quaker Birds which I did because it is my smallest LH chart and I knew I could get it done quickly. I changed the colors as inspired by another stitcher who did a similar colorway with blue, white, and silver. […]
(updating to comment that this is my November Smalls SAL entry over at Stitching Lotus!) Well, you know I just love my Mill Hill ornament kits! And I finished off the two I had showed you last time. Thank goodness for tinier needles! I got that beading done much better! Here’s “Ye Old Santa” And the Drum from the Holiday […]
My stitching has been interrupted a bit as I hinted at earlier! This WIP was finished November 10! But she sleeps a lot and I continue to make some progress on little things… Last year I stitched this design from Lindsay Lane, Wishes do to Heaven Aspire. I love how sweet it is. But I really saw it not as […]
Follow the directions! I wasted a huge amount of time yesterday trying to improve a process that would have worked great if I had just trusted it a bit more from the beginning. I prefer to sew things up with the machine because I feel like it is so much neater and more secure. But man, is that pom pom […]
I just completed the second ice skates ornament this morning so now I have the 3 sports ornaments finished for my kids’ Christmas this year! I am happy with the color on the pink skates too, and it’s good to have them slightly different to tell apart whose is whose. Here is the pink one all by itself: And you […]
I have 2 things to show you for the Smalls SAL this month! My thread came in so I finished up Tiny Nativity: Then…I made the Big Mistake I knew well to avoid. However I have not make this mistake before so I thought I could get away with it. I sprayed it a smidgen to iron and the colors […]
I finished X-Mas in my Heart! And I am just waiting for “honeycomb” from my LNS to finish the border of Tiny Nativity: It’s so cute-just 1 1/2″ square! I want to find the mini-est frame for it. Now to FFO… I have lots of things on my to-do list so of course I started something new: It is Spring […]
