It’s now November so I feel like it’s time to take stock of my WIPs and see what I can get done before the end of the year. ONE: I really want to get the months done for the Joyful World Calendar. November is half done, just waiting on a thread to finish that gorgeous peacock, and put the flowers […]
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 […]
I finished the Threadwork Primitives Quaker Carnations Pinwheel last week. I like it! It is stitched with the called for colors on Weeks Sanguine because I couldn’t get the Lakeside Clay Pot but the Sanguine works really well. It is a light terra cotta color that doesn’t show up well in the photo. I started November from The Joyful World. […]
I finished Let It Bee! Once I finally got a pattern going for the lattice it went much faster. I’ll frame it later this week. Right away I started Quaker Carnations Pinwheel from Threadwork Primitives. One of my favorite finishes is Quaker Birds Pinwheel so I am excited to have a companion for it. I’m stitching on Weeks Sanguine with […]
I did it! Here are my two very sparkly ornaments I showed you partially done last week! First is Madonna and Child from Just Cross Stitch Ornaments 2010. The designer is Brooke’s Books. I substituted quite a few of the fibers because I did not have the called for Kreiniks. None of the sparkly threads were very easy to use […]
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, […]
Happy Fall, all you in the Northern Hemisphere! And Happy Spring to all you in the South! Here in Arizona we have enjoyed a cooler, rainy week! In September we are usually still experiencing the last blasts of summer (100 plus degrees) but this week kicked off with huge thunderstorms and rain, resulting in overcast days and cooler temps in […]
I’ve been too ambitious this month thinking I could get so much done! As a result I have a pile of partially completed little projects I’ve been carrying around hoping to stitch on in my free moments. First is Let It Bee from The Drawn Thread. The lattice border has slowed this one down! I’m not enjoying the perle cotton […]
I took a bit of a break from stitching this week to finish some things for Rachel’s Fully Finished Object Gallery. Finishing is always more fiddly and time consuming than I plan, so I did not have anything ready to show on the 10th, but I’m only a few days late so I still think I did pretty well this […]
