Progress Report

I’ve been working on three things lately that are showing progress. I know I’ve been posting mostly finishes, but I’ve been stitching on a lot of unfinished things too! First of all, I decided, Miss Mousie needs a friend RIGHT AWAY! I started Hedgie and he will be done this week probably. Hedgie will be a good friend to protect […]

February Smalls Check In

Well friends, we had a short month this month! It can’t get any shorter, in fact, than for a Friday check in to fall on the 22nd. I hope most of you were able to complete a Small, and remember, it’s ok to double dip and turn in a Small for this SAL that you stitched for another SAL! I […]

Big WIP, Little WIP, and a Finish

I have been enjoying working on my Chatelaine, Frosty Knotgarden: The progress is slower now! There is actually white filled in around the right branch but you can’t really tell.
