I have grand plans this month for making more progress on various WIPs I’ve shared. The Bargello Roll, the Strawberry Garden, and Amy Mitten’s Butterfly especially need to reach some milestones for me to be truly satisfied with May. However, after finishing the peacocks purse this week I just had to start something new. The Drawn Thread Treasure Box (off […]
I wanted to finish my Italian Peacocks Purse last week. Normally I should have been able to do that! But, “Ha ha ha,” said Life. And I should have known better anyway! We had a birthday in our family. On Wednesday night I was putting up decorations. On Friday night I was making the cake. Here is the cake. The […]
I’m linking up with Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher for the Fully Finished Objects Gallery this month. This SAL is the best motivator to get those projects out of your box or drawer and out on display! Thanks for hosting, Rachel! I have a few pretties to share with you! I framed Deerfield by Chartmakers. Oh I love it! I […]

On Instagram I noticed a “thing” a lot of stitchers seem to be joining up for this month; it is a Blackbird Designs Weekend SAL. I believe it was started by Laura and Brenda. Maybe all the details are in their flosstube but since I don’t really watch flosstube I don’t know much about it except to stitch on a […]
My small this month is the little Victoria Sampler Beyond Cross Stitch kit I am making into a box top for my daughter’s First Communion/Confirmation. It’s a sweet little thing! The pulled stitches were easy once I figured out the rhythm and they turned out so pretty I think. I have been unable to find the identical box I used […]
