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 […]
It’s time for the 2022 March Smalls Link Up! I finished my Shepherd’s Bush Sheep Needle Case this month. I made it a quick start back in January and it was a quick finish this month. Here is the front… And the back! This project came from a kit with all the finishing materials. I have no excuse not to […]
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 […]
I had prepared this post for February’s Gifted Gorgeousness but got distracted and didn’t post it! Sorry! I think the issue was I had not taken my pictures! I do not have an intermediate picture-just the most current views…oh well. Anyway, I was working on the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Anniversary as a gift for my parents for their 50th anniversary […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for giving me a reason to FFO some pieces this month and share them with you! I finished up the Sugar Plum Fairy from Satsuma Street.

Hello Friends! It is (past) time for the February Smalls Link Up! I’m so sorry this post is late! Several of my family members have been sick (not Covid!) and we had a big event last night (Friday) for the start of the softball season. I was in charge of the activities on the fun field and got totally preoccupied! […]
Baseball season is in full swing (ha ha) here and soon I’ll have 4 kids on 4 teams. This weekend it was *only* 3 on 3 and I got to do the honors of taking the #1 son to his travel games. That meant lots of stitching time!! I made great progress on Heirloom Anniversary! The boys have to be […]
I am on schedule for this month. I have duly stitched on my alphabet samplers. I haven’t done more on my Jeannette Douglas ABC Sampler (I had made the progress I had planned) but here is the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches with ABC and J all completed: I will tell you that selecting my own colors keeps me on […]
