Under the Wire April Smalls

Here, finally, is my small for this (last) month, the Gingerbread Man Ornament by Little House Needleworks. I’ve always thought this is one of their cutest ornaments and I’m glad to have made it! It would have been done sooner if only I could count to 3 accurately on those border corners! Ugh! All but one of them messed me […]

March Finish for Smalls SAL

I did it! I have it ready to post on the day it’s due over at Stitching Lotus‘s 2017 Smalls SAL! Thanks for hosting, Heather! Here’s my small: It is Stoneware Bunny by Priscilla’s Pocket. It came as a little kit, just needed to add my own backing. I choose a striped denim which I thought went pretty well with […]

A case of startitis

As if I don’t have enough going on, this week I caught a bad case of startitis. I started March of Joyful World! Which is my only legitimate start because I have to at least start March in March, right? (is February done? No, it is not! Not quite anyway! I am still deciding on my special stitching for the […]

So close!!!

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 […]

Only this…

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 […]

A week’s work

This week I picked up Random Thoughts again after a break of about a month I guess while I was working on Heirloom Nativity. I started reluctantly because I so wanted to continue HN! But after that first day, with enthusiasm! I love this piece! I was drawn initially (ha ha) to the variety of motifs above all, and the […]

Done, done, done,and…done

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 […]

Almost there…

I’ve been working away on these 3 ornaments in an effort to get them finished-finished so I can put them away with all the Christmas things! I need to take the tree down this weekend, so it looks like I have a shot! The Christmas SAL Partridge is done-just needs to be finished into something, Christmas Blessings needs half an […]

Many little things 

Ahh…it’s the first week of January and can I already be off track? Or am I enjoying an extended vacation and just living by my whims? That’s it. I’ll get serious next week! My whims have me doing 3 ornaments: First, Christmas Blessings is coming along nicely. Next up is a Mill Hill kit (you know how I love them) […]
