Jo of Serendipitous Stitching has long hosted a monthly People’s Choice link up, and this month it is Butterflies! I absolutely love butterflies. I always have. When I was a Girl Scout, I earned my Gold Award (which is roughly equivalent to a Boy Scout’s Eagle Project) and my project was planting a large butterfly garden in a public park. […]
Here we are at the end of June, halfway through the year! Here in Arizona, you’ve maybe read in the news that it’s been incredibly HOT! Yes, I think over the last week we had 5 days in a row where it was over 117, and my car info even said 122 on 2 days! Whew, it is hot in […]
I know you all are eager to see that Peacocks Purse, but my folks were visiting last week and there was no way I could spend the time needed on such an intimidating project! And this week is busy too. I will work on it for next month, ok? But I did fully finish my Drawn Thread Treasure Box for […]

My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary next June! I have wanted to make this Victoria Sampler piece for them: It’s […]

And I’m not sure this counts because it is not actually a finished project, but I did finish the satin stitching on the last wing of the […]
I diligently worked away on my Strawberry Garden (from Blackbird Designs) all weekend, spending all my stitching time Friday night and a good chunk of Saturday afternoon stitching the vines with lazy daisies. I saw someone comment upon finishing this one that they would be glad to never have to stitch another lazy daisy as long as they lived after […]
