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 […]
I am loving the Chatelaine Frosty Knot Garden. This weekend my husband and I watched The Hobbit. The Extended Edition. That thing is nearly 9 hours long. I liked the movie but I do not like watching battle scenes and there were many battle scenes. So, I got a lot of stitching in! Here are my before, during, and after […]
I rang in 2019 with a big new start, my very first Chatelaine, Frosty Knot Garden!! Here is today’s work. It is so pretty with nice winter-y colors and the Petite Treasure Braid is SO sparkly and fun and I’m pleased with how quickly it’s moved along today!! I feel like I made a lot of progress in one day! […]
Merry Christmas to all my readers who celebrate! And to everyone, I hope this end of year season is restful for you and finding you well as we quickly approach 2019! It is time for taking stock of the year. As I look through my project bags I find they are all still full! (Do you like my bags? After […]
I am working hard on Heirloom Nativity. I want to have all the stitching done before Christmas (not the hardanger, just the stitching, not the cutting!) What is left is the rest of the manger scene, the words, the final decorative band, and the hardanger “squares.” I am putting time into it every day, and it is growing and growing! […]
This past weekend I finished up the American Goldfinch kit from Crossed Wing Collection for my mom’s birthday present. While it sure is cute, it is hard to sustain the micro stitching for long. Good thing it’s a little project! I finished it in a Tim Holtz watch fob like I did with my cardinal last year. This is an […]
Well! I didn’t have as much to finish up on Random Thoughts as I thought I did! I was able to put in the remaining motifs in a couple days! Here is a close up of the section I did last. The cat was tent stitch so it was a breeze! And here I had saved it till last! Since […]
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 […]
I finished the alphabets in my La D Da projects. Here’s Lazy Alphabet And Leaping Cat For Lazy Alphabet there are a few more little flowers and things and then the border which is just a solid navy line and a dotted red line. Easy peasy! For Leaping Cat there is quite a bit more work- 3 trees, a bunch […]
I have been working on 4 La-D-Da designs this past week. And because I have one more in my “Do in 2018” pile and another on the way, neither of which I can justify starting without a finish, I needed a La-D-Da-A-Thon! But lest you think I neglected the Just Nan birth record (Baby Celebration) I did not! So I […]
