I spent all of last week stitching Kloster Blocks on the Heirloom Nativity! My goodness…they are more time consuming that I thought they would be! You really have to pay attention. I’ve had to do a bit of picking out… I guess I am 3/4 done. I can’t wait to start the eyelets and cutting! I love doing the woven […]
We had a long weekend up in Flagstaff for my son’s last baseball tournament. I got more stitching done than usual for a weekend getaway! Yay! And by done I mean finishes! Woo hoo! First, here’s June from Snowflower Diaries Joyful World Calendar: Then Bent Creek’s Buzzzz. So cute! It will be a little pin pillow. I already have the […]
I am DETERMINED to finish Leaping Cat this month. I had set aside other things toward that goal. I have completed the date of 2019 to cement my commitment! Now that I’m done with the grass, the 2 over 2 on the 36 count is not so terrible. It was hard to deal with in the “thick” areas, and when […]
I am linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for her monthly SAL, Let the People Choose…and the people chose Specialty Stitches this month! I am firmly in the “Love Specialty Stitches” camp! My career as a needlewoman began with cross stitch and crewel almost simultaneously. Cross stitch is what stuck, although I remain fascinated by crewel and I bet […]
Finally! I am ready to post the work I’ve been doing lately! I’ve been stitching on lots of little things! I finished my submission for the Ornies SAL. I chose A Star, A Star by The Sunflower Seed from the 2007 issue of Just Cross Stitch Ornaments. I really like how it came out! I thought I had the perfect […]
I have to say, this SAL run by Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher is GREAT for me to give me that kick in the pants I need in order to FFO some projects! Thank you, Rachel, for the wonderful idea of starting this SAL! This month I framed 2 projects which I stitched last year. I am glad to get […]

Happy St. Valentine’s Day! In honor of the day, Jo at Serendipitous Stitching has organized a Secret Stitching Sweetheart bloghop for us. Jo collects our Valentines and swaps them around for us and then we visit all the participants in order to see who received our picture. My Sweetheart stitched this beautiful bouquet! Isn’t that lovely? The pastel flowers on […]
I’m linking up with Jo from Serendipitous Stitching for February’s People’s Choice…the theme is Hearts! My latest finish features Rhodes Hearts. This is one of Victoria Sampler’s “Biscornuments” I’ve stitched a few hearts which I’ve shown in the past, here are some for Christmas: I even have this felt applique one! “Someday” I will make the other 11 days in […]
I am making 2 little biscornus this month for some SALs I’m trying to participate in. First is one of The Victoria Sampler’s “Biscornuments” which has Rhodes Hearts on it. It will show up in honor of several SALvposts later this week. I tried to get it done today but I spent all afternoon making tassels and cording. I just […]
