I was working on my smalls last week. I finished the stitching on the grow! pin cushion. Isn’t it pretty? I can’t wait do complete the finishing. I need to check if it needs beads. There might be a few. I got the gingerbread man done on the Little House ornament. Some of the stitches look a little wonky but I […]
I feel like I have been progressing at a snail’s pace these days. We’re busy and I’m tired! But this week I’ve buckled down and spent some good time with Random Thoughts and the Just Nan pin cushion. I finished the 1 over 1 motto! And here’s the whole thing so far: I can see my self-designated stopping point […]
I did it! I have it ready to post on the day it’s due over at Stitching Lotus‘s 2017 Smalls SAL! Thanks for hosting, Heather! Here’s my small: It is Stoneware Bunny by Priscilla’s Pocket. It came as a little kit, just needed to add my own backing. I choose a striped denim which I thought went pretty well with […]
…on the 10 a day thing, anyway! For my grow! tin! Here it was on Sunday… And I just couldn’t bear it anymore! I just had to get it done. So here we are today: The finishing doesn’t look too bad but it will take a block of uninterrupted time so I’ll try to make that happen tonight or tomorrow. […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Cupid’s Teeny Sampler (minus the cupid) by The Sweetheart Tree
This week I picked up Random Thoughts again after a break of about a month I guess while I was working on Heirloom Nativity. I started reluctantly because I so wanted to continue HN! But after that first day, with enthusiasm! I love this piece! I was drawn initially (ha ha) to the variety of motifs above all, and the […]
What am I working on? EVERYTHING! I’ve been busy this week. I finished the shepherds band! It is lovely. I put in the very first stitch on the lace and then I resisting continuing. I will pull out Random Thoughts tonight. I will put in the lace when I’ve made some progress on RT. Here is Heirloom Nativity so […]
February 1! How did we get here so fast? And in that short time, was I able to get anything done? Let’s see. Progress made on Heirloom Nativity: not as much as I wanted (I wanted to finish the shepherds row) but it is getting closer. I was hindered by needing to take out the wrong color I used on […]
I have signed up for the 2017 Smalls SAL at Stitching Lotus and it’s a good thing too. With a couple big projects going, I need some little things that will actually get done more quickly to stay inspired and feeling like I’m productive! I decided to get started early on the one for January, Mon Petit Jardin by Atalie. […]
Between Christmas and New Years and family and feasting there has not been a lot of stitching going! And Random Thoughts seems to be coming along SO SLOWLY. I’m not sure why-it seems like it should be quick. And you know, I was saying before about Birds, that I always thought many pieces from Drawn Thread were a little drab […]
