A little spring stitch
I felt like I needed to do something new for spring so I looked through my stash and pulled out March Hare by Just Nan this week. It was a 2 day stitch for me. Ta Dah! Cute!
The People Choose…CATS!
Thank you, Jo of Serendipitous Stitching, for hosting this very fun Blog Hop, The People’s Choice! Of course, eventually, the People would choose CATS! 🙂 I have always loved cats. My family has always had cats. When I was engaged to my husband I said I could not live without a cat. He said no. I said we would discuss […]
The People Choose…Bees
Jo at Serendipitous Stitching hosts a monthly themed blog hop, as you may know by now! It is a nice way to showcase designs by theme and always interesting for me to discover what I’ve stitched that fits! This month’s theme is bees. I have always liked bees. One day I think it would be interesting to have bees myself, […]
May Flowers
I’m linking up with Jo’s People’s Choice for May- the theme is Flowers. I feel like a lot of my stitching has flowers in it! Here are some highlights: Fobs by The Drawn Thread and The Scarlett House Blackbird Designs’ “Spring Arose” which still has not been FFO’d but which I still think is SO pretty! Various Flowers on Pillows: […]
April 2019 Smalls Check In
Welcome back for the April Smalls Check In! We are 1/3 of the way through the year! Wow! In Arizona, “spring” is winding down and we are heading definitely into our long, hot summer. We’ve already had days approaching 100 degrees where I am, and the kids inaugurated pool season on last weekend. The water is still a bit cool […]
Fully Finished April
I am linking up with Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher to participate in the Fully Finished Object SAL again this month. Thanks for hosting, Rachel! I did not get as much finished this month as I had hoped, but I did get one thing done that was time consuming and that I am especially proud of: This is Lorna Bateman’s […]
Hedgie! A little tutorial for the strawberry shape
I finished up Hedgie the Hedgehog by Just Nan this weekend! He came out so cute! Since it’s my second Just Nan finish in this “strawberry” shape, I figure I have exactly enough experience to do a little tutorial on this type of finish in case anyone out there is on the fence about making one of these cuties and […]
Progress Report
I’ve been working on three things lately that are showing progress. I know I’ve been posting mostly finishes, but I’ve been stitching on a lot of unfinished things too! First of all, I decided, Miss Mousie needs a friend RIGHT AWAY! I started Hedgie and he will be done this week probably. Hedgie will be a good friend to protect […]
March 2019 Smalls Check In
Hello Smalls Stitchers! How is your March going out? Like a lion or a lamb? Mine is going out with a Squeak! I made a mouse! I got a hankering to do a quick stitch this week and this project has been staring at me for months. It is Just Nan’s Minerva’s Mouse which I was lucky enough to find […]
A bit of everything
Finally! I am ready to post the work I’ve been doing lately! I’ve been stitching on lots of little things! I finished my submission for the Ornies SAL. I chose A Star, A Star by The Sunflower Seed from the 2007 issue of Just Cross Stitch Ornaments. I really like how it came out! I thought I had the perfect […]
