What HAVE I been doing?

I feel like I went dark there the past week or so after a flurry of posts at the start of the January. Well, I was making something for my Secret Stitching Sweetheart. If you would like to know more about this Valentine blog hop, check it out HERE. There is information at the bottom of the past several posts. […]

January 2022 Smalls Link Up

You maybe guessed based on the stitching I’ve shown this month that my small would be the Cottage Charm Stitcher’s Pocket by Milady’s Needle. I think it’s so sweet. It is really hard to capture but the fabric is a pretty green and the threads are silk in Tortoise Shell by Belle Soie. The stitching gets turned into a needle […]

January FFOs. A last blast of Christmas cheer

I got busy in December and wasn’t able to join Rachel’s FFO Gallery with all my Christmas finishes like I’d hoped! And I’m just squeaking in this month too. In fact you’ll have to check back in later as I couldn’t get my photos in before the link up closed tonight! Anyway… I really owed it to some Christmas stitches […]

A Lady’s Sewing Roll

Is DONE! Except not the pocket. And not the smalls. I feel like that is almost starting over! Boo Hoo! But I have met my goal of getting this big part stitched and I love it. This watered silk is what I’m using to line it. I will square up the linen to start the pocket this week. The pocket […]

Now I Know My ABCs…and Os, Us, and Vs

It seems like alphabets have been finding their way to my needle these days. I’ve made a good start on the alphabet part of Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll… It looks like I need to catch up with the border, and get started on the huge vase of flowers that goes in the middle under the letters. How could I […]

The People Choose

Designer of the Year! This month’s theme from Jo or Serendipitous Stitching asks us if we’ve chosen a specific designer to focus on for the year. I was so excited when I realized that I had a really good project for this People’s Choice theme, as well as a certain Instagram SAL I just learned about, even if it did […]

2022: Evidently it is the Year of the Sampler

It seems like I was getting antsy at the end of 2021 to start new things and I kind of binged on new starts! Everything I started I thought, “Well, this will be a good project to do next year!” So I really do have my work cut out for me. Getting everything out and (sort of) organized, I see […]

Happy New Year! A 2021 Summary

In 2021 I had 28 finishes. It is much less than the number of finishes as 2020 (42 I think?) but most of them were a good deal more complex. And several of them were off my “bucket list,” projects I deemed to be high priorities in my stitching career. I also had a good number of starts which I […]
