I got busy in December and wasn’t able to join Rachel’s FFO Gallery with all my Christmas finishes like I’d hoped! And I’m just squeaking in this month too. In fact you’ll have to check back in later as I couldn’t get my photos in before the link up closed tonight! Anyway… I really owed it to some Christmas stitches […]
In 2021 I had 28 finishes. It is much less than the number of finishes as 2020 (42 I think?) but most of them were a good deal more complex. And several of them were off my “bucket list,” projects I deemed to be high priorities in my stitching career. I also had a good number of starts which I […]
I’m linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for a picture heavy post of my creative efforts this month, including a few gifts! First of all, the banner image features our mantel with the gorgeous needlepoint stockings my mom made and gave each of us over the years. I’ve shared them before but they are so special they must be […]
Welcome! It is the Serendipitous Stitching 2021 Advent Blog Hop! The theme this year is Christmas Trees! I was so happy to see that because I just love Christmas trees. My parents lived in Germany before I was born (actually I was born in Heidelberg and spent my first year there too) and collected many beautiful wood and glass and […]
It’s the penultimate Smalls check in of 2021! Here we are again friends! I finished the Mill Hill cupcake for my sister in law. I am definitely making this one again for me. I didn’t get to the monogram yet for that Sajou box. I wanted to keep working on the Bargello Roll. It’s getting so close! I have to […]
I don’t usually do a Gifted Gorgeousness post, but it’s that time of year to start thinking about Christmas gifts and I have a few I want to stitch up for some special people in my family. I don’t think they read my blog (if you are a family member reading my blog stop now so you don’t spoil your […]
I can’t believe it’s time for another FFO Gallery link up! Thank you, Rachel for continuing to host this! This month evidently my personal theme is “Things with Wings.” I am proud to share my Amy Mitten Summer Casket Keepsake Butterfly for those who didn’t see it last week: And I have another butterfly to share, the Mill Hill Blue […]
After a lot of non cross stitch work lately I am antsy to get back to cross stitching. I started my next Bucket List Project: Sampler Roll from Samplers Remembered. This was truly a coup de coeur project. You may know I do not love stitching houses. Sometimes I will stitch a house if I especially like it, sometimes I’ll […]
I missed the March FFO Gallery but I’m here to make up for it with the April one! I have several things finished up to share with you. You’ve seen them all finished before, recently, because I am mostly caught up with the things I care about finishing, and let’s be honest, which are easy and inexpensive enough to finish! […]
