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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Here’s another post for you! I finished GHI of the Sampler of Stitches today! This section gave me the most trouble of all of them but at last it is fine and I’m happy with it. For example, I really did not like stitching the God’s Eye stitch that makes the grapes. It is just too tiny to appreciate. But […]
Hello friends, I feel like I’m posting less frequently these days! But I’m still here and still stitching a little bit. I admit I’ve been in a bit of a slump. I really get my stitch fix at work at the Attic surrounded by all the beautiful projects and materials! And we’ve had a lot going on at home and […]
I have TOO MANY samplers I want to work on this month! I must pare it way down if I hope to make any progress!!! Fortunately I also have some good stitching time available, I hope, so I will get a chance to work on what I do pick. Here’s my preview… Bathya. I hoped to work on her again […]
After my horrible weekend of picking out all my work, I buckled down Sunday night, stayed up way too late, and got on a roll with some good progress. Finally! I kept it going and was able to get most of G and H finished before the end of the month, and also start on I. Sigh of RELIEF! I […]
