Borders, Birds, and Bouquets

I feel like I’m coming out of hibernation with my stitching and blogging this past month. I was kitting so many projects I’m not even going to list them here…except for the ones I’ve started. I have been on such an unearned new starts kick, having my own private MAYnia here through the end of April! Now that it’s May […]

WIPS! Starts! Yay!

Finishing those 2 little projects last week of the VWX section on the Sampler of Stitches and the Philanthropic Pumpkin made me so happy because I could go back to a lovely stitch from last year…Rosehips and Ivy from Blackbird Designs. Here’s my progress this week. If I keep on at a good pace, I may just be able to […]

January Stitching

This month so far, and aside from my little finishes, I’ve been trying to move along on The Drawn Thread’s Sampler of Stitches. My goal is to finish it by my birthday March 28, and ideally by spring break which starts March 10 so I can dive into a new Big Start to work on this year. I know I […]

Some finishes and some WIPs

I haven’t updated you on some of my ongoing projects in a while mostly because I keep hoping there will be more to show if I wait another day or 2! Does anyone else do that? Well, I am guilty of it too often. Nonetheless, I do have some finishes to share, this one for 2 full weeks! Yes! I […]

Addictive!

I was planning to put the finishing touches on a few things before starting something new but for me sometimes making a plan is the surest way to deviate from it!! I went ahead and started a new project, Rosehips and Ivy by Blackbird Designs. I Can Not Put It Down! The colors and the linen I’m using are just […]

November 2022 Smalls Check In

Yesterday in the USA was Thanksgiving! My parents are here in Arizona for a visit. We had a wonderful feast! We truly have so much to be thankful for! I wanted to share a finish of the Sampler Etui needlebook, but it’s not done yet! But here is my progress. Maybe I’ll get it done this weekend. Then I can […]

MNO-almost

Ok, so I did get a little sidetracked this past week, in a good way, which I will share later. Now I’m back to my plan. This past weekend I worked some more on MNO. Isn’t that owl adorable? And the tiny pearl necklace??? Too cute! I’m almost done with this section! My goal is to finish it this week. […]

MNO…P(raise Jesus)

Hi friends! We are enjoying cooler temperatures in the Phoenix area now. It is our nice time of year. I love the fresh mornings. I feel like we are hurtling towards the holidays and the end of the year. There is so much to do! Have I mentioned I am trying, and failing, to pick a color to repaint my […]

Gifted Gorgeousness: Dutch Birds

I’ve had very productive stitching time lately! I made very good progress on my Dutch Birds project. It was a gift to me after Summer School at The Attic-a great bonus of working in a shop! The design is by From The Heart. She has some very pretty, modest designs and I’m glad to see her work more on social […]

Little things

I’m enjoying stitching away on my little projects this month. I’ve nearly finished my Little Black Cat. It is from Bent Creek. I have no idea how I will finish it. Maybe a tiny frame and then I can sit it on the mantle with the fall decor. Though I don’t think I’m putting up fall decor this year as […]
