I’m continuing to make a lot of progress on Toccata 1! I have about 13 more motifs until I can’t do more without my thread order. One motif is all Queen stitch so that will take a whole stitching session but otherwise I’ve been doing about 5 motifs a day so I should arrive at a temporary stopping point this […]
I didn’t get my October FFOs posted in time for the deadline last month for Rachel’s Fully Finished Object Gallery, so I saved the post and added a few to it for November! Here are 2 months of FFOs! October: First I framed Let It Bee from The Drawn Thread. Cynthia made it easy on us by planning this piece […]
And just like that it’s the end of October! I realized on Monday that this week had the last Friday of the month in it. So I had to scramble to get something done! I just made it! Phew! I decided to pick up this neglected Mill Hill project, the Vintage Rose beaded pin pillow. I had finished the cross […]
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 […]
Well, I am LATE with this posting but it’s a good long one! Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher has created a wonderful new SAL to encourage FFOs this year! Posts are supposed to be up by the 10th of the month, but I needed a little extra time for various reasons! Nonetheless, this is an excellent SAL for me because […]
I’m linking up with Heather of Stitching Lotus for our monthly Smalls check in! I got all the beads on Star Santa, as perhaps you expected! Do you remember this Threedles design from a while ago? I found the beads I needed on clearance at JoAnn’s so I got that done too! So fancy! I can’t wait to make another […]
Here in Arizona it is hot, hot, hot! The heat really saps my energy! And, with the kids’ summer activities, I don’t have blocks of time for stitching, alas! However I do snatch moments here and there on a variety of small projects. Little by little it adds up, and I realize have quite a lot to show! First, my […]
Here it is July and I find myself working on two “Joyful” Christmas ornaments. Here is series 3-2 from the Victoria Sampler Learning Collection, this one featuring Bargello. (I haven’t gotten to the Bargello part yet): And here is a fun Mill Hill ornament called Jeweled Joy just waiting for beads: I’ll tell you why I’m making these when they’re […]
Normally on vacation I do not get any stitching done at all. Not this time! This time I got strep throat and had to sit in quarantine in the cabin while everyone else went out and had fun. Yay! I ate ice cream, listened to audio books, nursed the baby, and beaded like a crazy person. Here are Christmas Angel […]
It’s been a weird month for stitching. We’ve been super busy and I haven’t had time to just buckle down and make great strides on any thing. I got on a Mill Hill kick though. I can do Mill Hills while I rock the baby so that’s been my main stitching lately. Here’s what I’m doing: The stitching on Balthazar […]
