I finished Fraktur Friends! I love it! (Where is my picture??) To celebrate, I kitted up all the things I hope to work on (and complete) in the next month. And then I started them all. First, the 2001 Prairie Schooler Santa. 2001 is important for me because it is my anniversary year. I like that the Santa for this […]
I finished my June Smalls SAL: isn’t she a sweetie? I love it so much I bought the companion pieces which are a Santa and a bell. I FFO’d my June Noel ornament for the ornies blog: This is such a versatile design I will definitely make it again. So next time hopefully the finishing won’t be such a mess!! […]
I’m winning against the pile of projects! I got those bands completed on Heirloom Christmas before July like I hoped. Yay! I even started the next band which is the 3 Wise Men: I love this project. It is so beautiful. Here’s a close up of the bands section I completed: The last stitch I learned, the green interwoven stitch […]
I had a 3 hour blood test today which meant an unusual amount of daytime stitching time. I was actually looking forward to it in order to have that stitching time! I didn’t get anything finished, but made some progress on a couple things: First, my June small which is this adorable little Riolis kit. It is on plastic canvas […]
Here, finally, is my small for this (last) month, the Gingerbread Man Ornament by Little House Needleworks. I’ve always thought this is one of their cutest ornaments and I’m glad to have made it! It would have been done sooner if only I could count to 3 accurately on those border corners! Ugh! All but one of them messed me […]
My big projects are on the back burner(s) as I attempt to catch up and stay caught up with the SALs. (I do not resent them…yet!) Here is my Christmas ornies SAL-if all goes well it will be done today! I will love having a handful of my Mill Hill ornaments completed this year thanks to the SAL. I have […]
Well, February was a short month. And the last Friday came up quickly! And I’ve been going to bed early instead of staying up late stitching, which is a great thing, but it’s killing my productivity! Those are my excuses! So, I have to cheat and submit only this little ornament (which is even just my backup offering for the […]
This week I picked up Random Thoughts again after a break of about a month I guess while I was working on Heirloom Nativity. I started reluctantly because I so wanted to continue HN! But after that first day, with enthusiasm! I love this piece! I was drawn initially (ha ha) to the variety of motifs above all, and the […]
February 1! How did we get here so fast? And in that short time, was I able to get anything done? Let’s see. Progress made on Heirloom Nativity: not as much as I wanted (I wanted to finish the shepherds row) but it is getting closer. I was hindered by needing to take out the wrong color I used on […]
It’s a week later than I wanted but you know how these things go. And it’s not like I’ve been sitting on my hands! Far from it! But I finally have my 3, no 4 ornaments finished off! First off, the Mill Hill Christmas Letter. I like this. It is one I plan to make again. Maybe one for everybody […]
