For my Sampler September, I am working on the Mexican Stag Sampler from Samplers Remembered. A customer at The Attic purchased this and I fell in love with the Gumnut silks palette. Wow are they beautiful. I am stitching on the called for 40 count Weeks Straw. I started with just the bouquet and a bit of border finished last […]
*Note: I’m seeing I had several draft posts that never got published, mostly for lack of the pictures. I’ll put them up now as I can get them finished up, in the proper order I wrote them, so I can have an orderly account of the last months stitching thoughts! Since we had several days at the end of August […]
Hello Smalls Stitchers! I finished a 2nd little berry in the Deck The Halls booklet from Blackbird Designs. It is called Sugarplums I think. I love the colors. So soft! The linen is Opal from Picture this Plus. I really like it for this project. Now that I’ve stitched 2 of the berries, I will make them up. I had […]

Hello friends! Goodness it’s been touch and go here. I was making good progress on several things…in stitching, and in life, I thought, but it’s been pretty wild around here! I have started a home decluttering project. I really need to do this. We have lived in our home for 13 years now and have accumulated a lot more than […]
Hello! I am giving you all a link up page, but I don’t have a small. We had a spontaneous vacation this month and I didn’t get it done. I will share it next month! It you managed to finish one, feel free to share below!
July got off to a wacky start with several one night stands with a variety of projects but I have finally settled down to my main stitches of the month. First is my attempt at a small this month, the Sampler Scissor Box from Famcy Work: I got the kit a while ago, and last summer I found the oval […]
I have a sweet little finish this Fourth of July…Strawberry Liberty from Chessie and Me! I will probably finish it as a little pillow for my pillow bowl. I don’t have too many patriotic stitches so this will set the mood nicely for July! I hope all my fellow Americans have a wonderful relaxing day today, enjoying beautiful summertime and […]
