The People Choose…

Series of designs! Thank you, Jo for providing such an interesting theme to discuss! I enjoyed thinking on this topic, and look forward to others’ posts as well! Even though from my blog posts it may not seem like I don’t do much stitching of series, I certainly do a lot of collecting for it! And I do love seeing […]

April 2022 Smalls Check In

For my small this month I finished up that little tiny bee project I shared with you a few months ago. I guess I put it aside and totally forgot it. I’m glad I remembered it as it only took 1/2 hour to finish up. That over one stitching with the hand spun/hand dyed silk was a bear. I will […]

Happy Easter!

April 2022 FFOs

Thank you Rachel for hosting the FFO Gallery! I am just sneaking in under the wire. I feel like I have just been so darn busy lately I still have not had time to really get into my stitching properly in a while! I don’t know what’s going on but I haven’t had any night stitching sessions in several weeks. […]

2022 Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop

It’s time for the annual Easter Blog Hop hosted by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching! I wanted to make up a quick project for you and I had this kit from the Silver Needle’s Secret Stitching Night.

No time!

I’ve had no time for good long stitching sessions lately. What I’ve gotten done so far has happened bit by bit. I guess those bits add up but I’m not as far along as I’d like to be this month! I put the squirrel and his little tree on the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches: I have finished one side […]

First, finishes

I know I’d said I would concentrate on Heirloom Anniversary, but being so close to finishes on 2 items I just had to spend the first days of the month getting them done. Here is Holly Go Brightly Mouse from Just Nan: She was really just an hour away from being done! And she will be easy to FFO this […]

Birthday Stitching and the End of Month Report

Ahhh the end of March! That means my birthday (which was Monday) and time for a round up of the month’s stitching. How is it where you are? Have you had a good stitching month? I have! Especially on Monday which I “took off” from my normal mom responsibilities to stitch all day. It was an overcast day, and even […]

Here is the front… And the back! This project came from a kit with all the finishing materials. I have no excuse not to […]

Mid March Progress Report

I’ve been stitching away on a variety of projects this month. It’s kind of been a hodgepodge and this update is long overdue! Here is Jeannette Douglas’s ABC Sampler with a few letters added: As I’ve been working on this I have been questioning some of my colors. The color used in the double dividing line and the J for […]
