April Smalls Check In

Hello, hello! It’s the end of April! Time to show off the Small(s) you’ve stitched this month! Here is mine, a tiny Janlyn kit called Garden Gnome. He came out pretty cute! Time to hunt for a tiny frame! This is not my usual thing as you know, but it is for someone else so I was glad to make […]

Progress on the WIPs

I just love working on The Pink Sparrow and I made good progress last week! I guess I’m avoiding the border a little bit. But if that’s all that’s left at the end it should go pretty fast! I have some of the cutwork done on Foxy. Cutwork is when you cut the little spiral tubes to size and sew […]

The WIPS

It’s been a crazy, but peaceful, time. We had spring break the 2nd week of March, and then like many schools, were told not to come back to school for one, then two, four weeks, and now the school year will be completed at home. One by one all our activities were cancelled. I have to say, I actually don’t […]

Easter Blog Hop 2020

What a strange Easter we will have this year. In my life I have never missed church on Easter and it will seem very odd indeed to watch Mass on TV, and, in fact, to participate in all the Triduum services virtually from home. Of course our stitching community is always virtual and that is a comfort to have no […]

Birthday Stitching

My husband wanted to know what I wanted to do on my birthday this past weekend, and I bet you can guess what I said! I wanted some nice long uninterrupted stitching time! I started on Autumn Quakers. My mom gave me the linen as part of my present. I have the first little corner motif done. This is my […]

March 2020 Small Check In

In spite of all the upending of normal life these past few weeks I do have a few things to show you for the Smalls check in! First I finished my Grandma’s Mill Hill Patchwork mitten. It just needs its backing felt. I picked up a tiny little monogram fob project from La D Da…this is truly a small Small: […]

The Pink Sparrow has a Sparrow on it

Most of my stitching this week has been on WTNT’s Pink Sparrow. It is just a very nice, easy piece to work on, I’ve found-lovely colors, good variety. The titular Pink Sparrow is in. He is not as pink as I thought, just that little spot on his head, but that’s ok. There is plenty of pink in this. I […]
