My husband took the 3 big kids on the school’s Dads Club Winter Camp this weekend. Where we live our overnight lows don’t often go below freezing and there is never snow so this was a big deal for the kids and gave me long evenings to stitch after the little kids were asleep. I “watched” ( because how can […]
I have a double dipping post for Jo’s SALs at Serendipitous Stitching this week. Some of my new starts this month, which are part of the New Starts in January for People’s Choice were also gifts, qualifying for the Gifted Gorgeousness SAL.

I rang in 2019 with a big new start, my very first Chatelaine, Frosty Knot Garden!! Here is today’s work.

I feel like I made a lot of progress in one day! […]

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!
I finished up Mr. Nutley Owl by Just Nan for this month’s Smalls SAL. Here he is! Isn’t he darling? I can see why these designs are addicting. It is just SO cute! I also finished up my Christmas Ornies SAL project for this month’s theme “O Christmas Tree.” This is the Christmas Tree Scissors Keep from The Victoria Sampler […]
I went into this year with 3 bigger projects: Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread, Heirloom Nativity by Victoria Sampler, and Baby Celebration by Just Nan. Now do you even remember those first two?! Of course I did make good progress on all of them but none are quite finished! And they all could be! So with 3 months left […]
Friends, today I mark my 2nd full year of blogging! Knowing myself, when I started this blog at that time I was not sure how long I would do it! And I must say I am so proud of myself for posting at least monthly in those 2 years! I don’t have any *new* stitching to share with you but […]
