I finished Fraktur Friends! I love it! (Where is my picture??) To celebrate, I kitted up all the things I hope to work on (and complete) in the next month. And then I started them all. First, the 2001 Prairie Schooler Santa. 2001 is important for me because it is my anniversary year. I like that the Santa for this […]
I finished my June Smalls SAL: isn’t she a sweetie? I love it so much I bought the companion pieces which are a Santa and a bell. I FFO’d my June Noel ornament for the ornies blog: This is such a versatile design I will definitely make it again. So next time hopefully the finishing won’t be such a mess!! […]
My big projects are on the back burner(s) as I attempt to catch up and stay caught up with the SALs. (I do not resent them…yet!) Here is my Christmas ornies SAL-if all goes well it will be done today! I will love having a handful of my Mill Hill ornaments completed this year thanks to the SAL. I have […]
Well, February was a short month. And the last Friday came up quickly! And I’ve been going to bed early instead of staying up late stitching, which is a great thing, but it’s killing my productivity! Those are my excuses! So, I have to cheat and submit only this little ornament (which is even just my backup offering for the […]
February 1! How did we get here so fast? And in that short time, was I able to get anything done? Let’s see. Progress made on Heirloom Nativity: not as much as I wanted (I wanted to finish the shepherds row) but it is getting closer. I was hindered by needing to take out the wrong color I used on […]
It’s a week later than I wanted but you know how these things go. And it’s not like I’ve been sitting on my hands! Far from it! But I finally have my 3, no 4 ornaments finished off! First off, the Mill Hill Christmas Letter. I like this. It is one I plan to make again. Maybe one for everybody […]
I got a lot done this weekend! All week I have been fussing with this Sweetheart Tree ornament which I started in 2012, finished in 2015, and which has sat around “unfinished” for the last year. I was emboldened to try the same technique as the friendship A frame, but with a heart shape. It worked! I hand stitched the […]
Well, in the background ever since I started the blog, I’ve been working on this sweet little friendship sampler by JBW Designs as a gift for a dear friend. Her birthday was a while ago and I had gotten the stitching done but it took some figuring to manage the finish. I knew what I wanted but as I have […]
Lounging Hare has proved to be a great motivator this week-I can’t wait to really get into it. So, I have FINALLY finished For the Birds! Ta Da! I really like it! I plan to frame it up myself. I need to find a frame with a 7 1/2″ square opening. Not likely, right? I will have to order one. […]
Here we are at the end of summer with my last finishes! First up is Ding Dong Merrily on High by Little House Needleworks. I cut it pretty close on this one to use up the remnant from You are My Sunshine-really pretty fabric. And anyway, it will be an ornament. Little House makes such cute things. And for the […]
