Surprise!

I have another finish! It’s Christmas Pin Pillow by Kathy Barrick. This little pillow just really wanted to be stitched. It seemed like it would go perfectly in my Merry Christmas pin cushion display! So I started it right after Christmas and it seemed to practically stitch itself in all my spare moments this week. But I do think I […]

First finish of 2023!

Yay! I have finished the Victoria Sampler Biscornuments series! I made the last ornament my final start of 2022 on New Year’s Eve, and was able to complete it on New Year’s Day! I “saved” this one for last because it struck me as less interesting than the others but I think it just didn’t photograph well. It is so […]

2022 in Review

Happy New Year! After reviewing my photos. I found I stitched more than I thought I did this year! I participated in Carol’s Instagram challenge…12 in 22 ornaments which resulted in 10 new ornaments, 8 for Christmas, 1 for Easter and 1 for Halloween. I did also stitch 4 letters for Clare’s alphabet tree too so I guess I made […]

The people choose …

Glitter! I love a little sparkle on my stitching, as you’ve probably noticed! All the same none of that sparkle is “glitter” per se, but much of it gives a glittery effect! It’s good to have this theme in December too, because that’s when I get out many of my sparkly pieces! Here are some favorites… Let It Snow Biscornu […]
