Yay! It is all finished! What a nice way to end the month and start May! You will notice something different if you’ve seen other Pink Sparrows. I did not care for the dogs. I was sure I had seen someone, somewhere replace the dogs with cats. I could not for the life of me find a picture of it. […]
I’ve had so much trouble with this post that I’ve just scrapped it and rewritten it. Ugh. Anyway, here’s what I have been up to this past week: The Pink Sparrow (I can see a finish very soon! Maybe this week!) Foxy (Just look at that sparkly white tail! That was the most fun part of this project as I […]
I just love working on The Pink Sparrow and I made good progress last week! I guess I’m avoiding the border a little bit. But if that’s all that’s left at the end it should go pretty fast! I have some of the cutwork done on Foxy. Cutwork is when you cut the little spiral tubes to size and sew […]
It’s been a crazy, but peaceful, time. We had spring break the 2nd week of March, and then like many schools, were told not to come back to school for one, then two, four weeks, and now the school year will be completed at home.

My mom gave me the linen as part of my present. I have the first little corner motif done. This is my […]
Thanks to Rachel, I have been motivated to FFO a few more smalls this month! I already showed you my 2 Mill Hill Santas… And here is the snowflake all finished. This is Mill Hill’s “Ice Crystal” from the Snow Crystals series. I finish them very simply, the way my Grandma always did. I hot glue a ribbon/cord on for […]
WOW! January 2020 is OVER! I have this theory that the older you get, the faster time seems to go because when you are a kid, each minute, or hour, or day, relative to your entire life, is a larger amount of time than when you are an adult. So one day to my 40 years is a lot less […]
Oh my, I have so many projects I want to do, and this past week I have spent so much time trying to figure out what to do and how to approach each project… I have to admit, guiltily, that I have started too many things. The Pink Sparrow Sampler by Brenda Gervais. This was the first reproduction sampler I […]
