And just like that it’s the end of October! I realized on Monday that this week had the last Friday of the month in it. So I had to scramble to get something done! I just made it! Phew! I decided to pick up this neglected Mill Hill project, the Vintage Rose beaded pin pillow. I had finished the cross […]
I concentrated on getting some FFOs this past weekend in honor of the August Check-in for the FFO gallery over at Ten Hour Stitcher. Thanks for hosting, Rachel, and for giving me the motivation to get some thing(s) done! First the easy one: the Blackbird Designs Quaker Strawberry from JCS Ornaments 2006. I finished it using the same lace as […]
At last! I have my Finishes ready to show you! I am linking up with Rachel of Ten Hour Stitcher whose SAL helps motivate us towards fully finished objects. You know I’ve been getting a lot of stitching in even though it’s summer break for the kids right now, but finishing is another matter since I don’t seem to have […]
I’m linking up with Jo for her Gifted Gorgeousness SAL, where, if any part of your project has to do with being a gift or being made from a gift, you can join! I shared this on my instagram a little white ago, but here is the finish of the Sweetheart Tree Tooth Fairy Pillow I made for my 7 […]
I finished quite a few Smalls this month which I posted about earlier this week but my “official” Small for the May check in is The Blue Pot Pin Pillow from Mani Di Donna. When I saw this released at Nashville this year I had to have it! I loved everything about it! The overall colors, the picture, the Gloriana […]
Welcome back for the April Smalls Check In! We are 1/3 of the way through the year! Wow! In Arizona, “spring” is winding down and we are heading definitely into our long, hot summer. We’ve already had days approaching 100 degrees where I am, and the kids inaugurated pool season on last weekend. The water is still a bit cool […]
I am linking up with Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher to participate in the Fully Finished Object SAL again this month. Thanks for hosting, Rachel! I did not get as much finished this month as I had hoped, but I did get one thing done that was time consuming and that I am especially proud of: This is Lorna Bateman’s […]
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 am having a slow start to the month of March. I feel like February was a blitz of stitching and posting and March well, maybe I’m a little burnt out! Plus it is Lent and I do attempt to reduce my screen time and my indulgent hobby time in favor of more reflective and penitential activities. But I realize […]
Well friends, we had a short month this month! It can’t get any shorter, in fact, than for a Friday check in to fall on the 22nd. I hope most of you were able to complete a Small, and remember, it’s ok to double dip and turn in a Small for this SAL that you stitched for another SAL! I […]
