I had prepared this post for February’s Gifted Gorgeousness but got distracted and didn’t post it! Sorry! I think the issue was I had not taken my pictures! I do not have an intermediate picture-just the most current views…oh well. Anyway, I was working on the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Anniversary as a gift for my parents for their 50th anniversary […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for giving me a reason to FFO some pieces this month and share them with you! I finished up the Sugar Plum Fairy from Satsuma Street. The designer sent me a whole new bead packet and guess what? It’s a good thing I asked her about this because the packet that came in my kit […]
Happy St. Valentine’s Day, my friends! I received a lovely stitched Valentine for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop…is it yours? What lovely delicate stitching to show off a beautiful charm! And it’s a perfect heart shape which is a finish I surely appreciate! Well, whoever you are, thank you, secret stitching friend! And for those who are continuing the […]
I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher to persevere in my finishing this month! First, I made the Milady’s Needle stitch into a pin cushion. It was impossible to find a matching trim color. What I wanted was a dark green chenille but no one seems to make or carry the correct shade. I did not want to […]
SNOW! I’m linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching, for her monthly People’s Choice blog and the theme for February is SNOW! Here in the Phoenix area, February is really the start of our spring so any thoughts of snow at the moment seem out of season! I know that is a foreign concept to many of you in colder […]
I got busy in December and wasn’t able to join Rachel’s FFO Gallery with all my Christmas finishes like I’d hoped! And I’m just squeaking in this month too. In fact you’ll have to check back in later as I couldn’t get my photos in before the link up closed tonight! Anyway… I really owed it to some Christmas stitches […]
Designer of the Year! This month’s theme from Jo or Serendipitous Stitching asks us if we’ve chosen a specific designer to focus on for the year. I was so excited when I realized that I had a really good project for this People’s Choice theme, as well as a certain Instagram SAL I just learned about, even if it did […]
I hope all of you have been enjoying these last days of the year, especially if you’ve been celebrating the holidays! And I hope you’ve all been able to fit some stitching in to your days during this busy time of year! I have something to share…it’s not really a small, but it’s all I’ve got! I finished up Just […]
Fancy Finishes! Every month Jo hosts us over at Serendipitous Stitching for a themed blog hop. And Fancy Finishes, the theme for December, is right up my alley! If you’ve read my blog for any length of time you know I do like to try my hand at some fancy finishing. Especially this year I challenged myself to do some […]
I’m linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for a picture heavy post of my creative efforts this month, including a few gifts! First of all, the banner image features our mantel with the gorgeous needlepoint stockings my mom made and gave each of us over the years. I’ve shared them before but they are so special they must be […]
