I haven’t updated you on some of my ongoing projects in a while mostly because I keep hoping there will be more to show if I wait another day or 2! Does anyone else do that? Well, I am guilty of it too often. Nonetheless, I do have some finishes to share, this one for 2 full weeks! Yes! I […]
Ok, so I did get a little sidetracked this past week, in a good way, which I will share later. Now I’m back to my plan. This past weekend I worked some more on MNO. Isn’t that owl adorable? And the tiny pearl necklace??? Too cute! I’m almost done with this section! My goal is to finish it this week. […]
Hi friends! We are enjoying cooler temperatures in the Phoenix area now. It is our nice time of year. I love the fresh mornings. I feel like we are hurtling towards the holidays and the end of the year. There is so much to do! Have I mentioned I am trying, and failing, to pick a color to repaint my […]
Here’s another post for you! I finished GHI of the Sampler of Stitches today! This section gave me the most trouble of all of them but at last it is fine and I’m happy with it. For example, I really did not like stitching the God’s Eye stitch that makes the grapes. It is just too tiny to appreciate. But […]
After my horrible weekend of picking out all my work, I buckled down Sunday night, stayed up way too late, and got on a roll with some good progress. Finally! I kept it going and was able to get most of G and H finished before the end of the month, and also start on I. Sigh of RELIEF! I […]
I’m so mad. I usually only have visit from “tadpoles” but this weekend was visited by a big bad ugly FROG. Maybe even it was a toad. I started GHI of the Sampler of Stitches. I did the first 3 motifs…I started the frame and the letter G. Lots of red thread ok? I thought I’d take a break on […]
I finished the 4th section of The Drawn Thread’s Sampler of Stitches DEF. It is nice to get something done. I think this one took me longer because on several stitches I redid them in different colors after they were already stitched. Also for some reason I made a lot of mistakes that had to be redone. Hopefully the frog […]
I’m taking part in Jo’s People’s Choice this month to highlight pet themed stitching. For me, that means cats. Although I don’t have any pets at the moment, until recently I had cats my whole life, and before children I also went through a period of serious fish-keeping. But I learned that aquarium fish are more a hobby than a […]
Interspersed with the finishing I’ve just shown, I’ve been stitching along on my planned projects this month. I’m right in the middle of them. Here is last weekend’s work on the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches: And this weekend’s work so far on Betsy Morgan’s Spanish Etui : Interestingly enough, the dark red in both of these is the same…Rosewood […]
Many stitchers on social media do the MAYnia event, which I think is originated as a challenge to start a new project every day in May. Goodness. 31 starts would make me very stressed. I am encouraged by those who modify it to make a challenge that works for them. I will be one of those and work diligently on […]
