Well, this king took me much longer than I thought it would! Part of that was because it turned out that our vacation was one of those vacations when I just didn’t have any time to stitch. We had a good little getaway to San Diego and Carlsbad, CA. Highlights of the trip included the …
December 2020 (Christmas Day!) Smalls Check In
Merry Christmas! With the last Friday of the month also being Christmas, I am late posting this! But maybe nobody is going to be fussing with blog updates today anyway! I have nothing new since my Advent Calendar post. This is my small finish for the month, Jeannette Douglas’ Cozy Into Winter. I didn’t have …

October Stitching Update 2
I’m very close on Oakley Owlet thanks to a return to weekend baseball tournaments. They are limiting fans so we are livestreaming my #1 son’s games from home. Convenient! Can you tell I’ve made progress on Autumn Quakers since last week? I can. But then when I pull it out of the hoop and look …
Goodbye to my old lady
I know we all in the stitching community love our dear pets so I felt you all would be good people to share this with. I have mentioned once or twice before that our family has a feline member-this is my stitching buddy, Kiwi. I was only 22 or 23 here! And Kiwi was just …
Other little things
Last week I didn’t just work on the reticule. We are back to school with online school for 4 of our 5 kids so I haven’t had quite as much stitching time but I did get some work done on some Smalls. Lest I don’t get around to it, I committed to Smalls first thing …

Found it! Found it!
I found my DMC 225 and finished Just Nan’s Celestial Collaboration last night. I have an ambitious finishing plan. You will not see it this month. Or even next month. This idea has to bake a while! 🙂
FFO Gallery-April
I only managed one tiny FFO this month, Just Nan’s March Hare in a cute little frame a had stashed away for “just the right thing.” Head back to Rachel’s at Ten Hour Stitcher if you want to find more prolific finishers! 🙂
The Beginning of the End
I am doing my allocated December stitching. I have started my Joyful World December. I have re-started my Faby Reilly biscornu. I’m not sure I ever showed it before. Well, here it is now! And…I have gotten back into Heirloom Nativity. I took out the work that I wasn’t pleased with (the top middle section) …
Cute little birds
This week I finished Scattered Seed’s The Little Strawberry Thief! It is so cute! The strawberry finish should be a cinch. And now, since it is done earlier than I expected, I will try to finish my Bit of Summer pindrum from Blackbird Designs for my small this month. I made good progress this week: …
