I’ve really been enjoying Frosty Knotgarden! Here it is after another week of stitching: I also made up the Mill Hill snowflake I mentioned. There is very little to this one so it was basically a 3 session project for me. It needs trimming and the felt back. I’ve also been doing some “secret stitching” which will be revealed at […]
I wanted to share with you my progress on Frosty Knotgarden. I took it from here: To here: It’s coming along pretty well. Whenever my kids have a big project like learning a new piano song or something for school I always ask, “How would you eat an elephant?” The answer is “one bite at a time.” So I am […]
WOW! January 2020 is OVER! I have this theory that the older you get, the faster time seems to go because when you are a kid, each minute, or hour, or day, relative to your entire life, is a larger amount of time than when you are an adult. So one day to my 40 years is a lot less […]
Oh my, I have so many projects I want to do, and this past week I have spent so much time trying to figure out what to do and how to approach each project… I have to admit, guiltily, that I have started too many things. The Pink Sparrow Sampler by Brenda Gervais. This was the first reproduction sampler I […]
I am linking up with Serendipitous Jo to show you my People’s Choice for January…my one and only Lizzie*Kate! I discovered Lizzie*Kate the year she was retiring. I panicked since this had happened to me before, where I fall in love with a designer whose work is all OOP or something, so I instantly bought up all my favorite LK […]
Well, I’ve done all I can do for now on Toccata 1. Here it was last Tuesday… And here we are today! And now I can do no more without my missing threads. They are part of a larger order which is taking a while so I may not finish it up this month, perhaps February. That’s fine, it is […]
My FFOs this month were supposed to be FFOs last month, but you know how it goes around the holidays! Anyway, I am so glad Rachel has decided to continue to host the FFO Gallery so that I can share these with you now! First is my Little Berry Thief Berry from Scattered Seed Samplers. It may be a little […]
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 […]
One of my readers commented “I wouldn’t be able to put it down!” when I first showed Toccata 1 last week. She was right about that, this is a very very quick stitch and totally addictive! I haven’t even worked on it every day but here’s the progress-Last week with 14/88 motifs: This week: almost 41/88 motifs It’s super fun. […]
Happy New Year! For all of you who like to participate in our Smalls SAL, I want to assure you that I AM continuing it this year! I really enjoy smalls myself and love seeing what everyone else stitches. The All About Smalls Facebook Group is a favorite group of mine, but I do really enjoy seeing people’s blogs and […]
