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 […]
My Fully Finished Object for the July Gallery is the Blue Flower Pindrum by La D Da. I did my best! It is stuffed with poly beads on the bottom for weight, sawdust for stiffness in the middle, and fiber fill on the top to be easy to stick the pins in. I have done enough pindrums now to learn […]
Since being back from Indiana, I have just kept working on Jane Plenderleath. As I’ve been stitching, it seems to me that it is a larger project than I expected. I guess I’ve completed 1/4 of it but it seems like I should be further along. The house was big. Perhaps the letters and floral bands will go quicker? I’m […]
I’ve been on a trip the past couple weeks to visit my family in Indiana. We did some camping (at a campground aptly named Raccoon Lake) We enjoyed some more lake days at a resort for my parents’ anniversary (they loved their present) And we enjoyed some of the other special things in the area… Of course we also celebrated […]
BEADS! Many thanks to Jo for hosting the People’s Choice Blog Hop! Oh man, I had no witches to show you last month, I don’t think I even have one pattern with witches on it! But beads I have in spades! I love designs that use some beads to add sparkle, dimension, and interest to the project. They just give […]
It feels like we had a short month this month with the Smalls Check In falling on the 24th! Did that catch any of you unawares? It’s ok! You have a whole week to link up with this post! I was happy to finish my Blue Flower Pin Drum by La D Da this month. I love La D Da […]
I’m linking up with Jo at Serendipitous Stitching to share my super gorgeous gift for my parents’ 50th Anniversary…you saw the creation, and now here is the (almost) finish (the frame is on backorder…it’s a long story!!) Sandy, who is the framer at The Attic, mounted it for me. Perfect as always. I will give it to them this weekend..
Hello friends! I have big news! I have new job! And it is a cool job for you all to know about! I’m working at the famous Attic Needlework! See all the exclamation marks?! I am very excited! I decided to write a post of introduction as Jean planned to include my blog address in the shop newsletter to introduce […]
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 […]
It was like pulling teeth but I managed to get my little FFOs done this month! As always I’m linking up with Rachel to share my work, and to thank her for the much-needed kick in the pants I once again needed to get anything fully finished! Here is my sweet little Sugar Plum Fairy Mouse! I left the pom […]
