A productive weekend and week

Look at all the stitching I got done on Jane since last weekend! The bottom half is done done done! I redid the trees how I wanted them and “fixed” the smoke from the chimneys that was off center in the design and driving me nuts. I did that whole middle flower band and got a good start on the […]

Mostly Monogamous May

As much fun as it is to go skippity hop from one project to another, it is more satisfying to finish something so I’m going to do a mostly monogamous May and strive for a substantial finish! The stitch of choice is Jane Plenderleath from Needlework Press. I don’t even remember the last time I showed her on the blog […]

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 […]

April 2023 Smalls Check In

I’m a little late today with creating the Smalls Check In! Sorry about that! I’ve been enjoying slowly getting back to my stitching this month. There’s just so much fun stuff to work on, I’ve been in a sort of chaos-unfocused mode! But I did make a start on one of my favorite Nashville releases…Stacy’s Nash’s Birds of a Feather […]

March 2023 Smalls Check In

For my little bitty small for March here is a pin cushion designed by Indigo Rose. I do love the specialty stitches in her designs and the use of variegated silk. I bought this kit second hand with the lovely little Nantucket basket. It took maybe 3 short stitching sessions and finished in a half hour, no sewing, just coaxing […]

FFOs Gallery March 2023

I’m really proud of my FFOs this month because they were challenging and they came out well. First up is Philanthropic Pumpkin from Hands On Design. I’m so grateful to my stitching friend for loaning me her chart! Thank you dear! Coming up with the right color trims was tricky, and ultimately I comprised on color, but it worked out […]

Rosehips and Ivy

I’ve really been enjoying stitching on Rosehips and Ivy this past week. I was enjoying it so much I went ahead and finished it this weekend! The colors on this are really nice. I am looking forward to the finish. But it will be a LARGE drum. It is funny how all these drums are all different proportions. I took […]
