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 […]
Happy New Year! It is time for the annual summary of projects! It was productive year! I had 38 (I think??) finishes. Of those, about 6 were carry-overs from 2018 or earlier (including the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Nativity and the Snowflower Diaries Joyful World Calendar) and the rest were new starts. Of course they were almost all Smalls but that’s […]
