Band 2 Finished. A Possible Plan

Testing, testing

I started adding color to the first band of Dorcas Haynes, part of trying out my own color scheme. I have spent a lot of time sorting and matching colors on this so I’m a bit nervous but also have a fair level of confidence…Here is how it’s looking.

Dorcas Haynes

I mentioned last month that I have some things I’m excited about as I return to normal life and regular stitching…one of those is Dorcas Haynes.

Nashville Market is an inspiring time of year at a needlework shop. Seeing so many new things just makes you want to buy it all and stitch it all and all at once! Not having some much stitching lately and having my stuff packed up makes me especially vulnerable to this sort of market fever! So…I have a couple new […]

A New Vignette. A Framed Favorite. My Stitching Tool Box.

I have finally gotten around to unpacking my smalls, and I have made a new vignette for my display by the front door! I had purchased a large pedestal stand for my Advent candles this year.

Starting over

I am still here, on this earth, doing mostly the same stuff I was doing when I abandoned my blog for critical home projects a few months ago. We have had a time of it.
