I diligently worked away on my Strawberry Garden (from Blackbird Designs) all weekend, spending all my stitching time Friday night and a good chunk of Saturday afternoon stitching the vines with lazy daisies. I saw someone comment upon finishing this one that they would be glad to never have to stitch another lazy daisy as long as they lived after […]
On Instagram I noticed a “thing” a lot of stitchers seem to be joining up for this month; it is a Blackbird Designs Weekend SAL. I believe it was started by Laura and Brenda. Maybe all the details are in their flosstube but since I don’t really watch flosstube I don’t know much about it except to stitch on a […]
In honor of her 10th Anniversary of blogging, my friend Jo of Serendipitous Stitching has invited her readers to write a “10 for 10” post. I’m happy to participate! Jo is such a welcoming, friendly, and thoughtful person, and is the hostess par excellence of blog hops throughout the year. Congratulations on your 10 years, Jo! It is a huge […]
For March, the People have chosen Spring as the theme of the blog hop. I have a few springy stitches to share. Here is one I made last year which you might remember, Jeannette Douglas’ Jump Into Spring: This piece also from last year also seems springy to me, it is called Pensee Sauvage from Samplers Not Forgotten. In Arizona […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for hosting the Fully Finished Gallery! I had a lot to finish this month! First is Foxy. Look at the beautiful vintage frame I got on eBay! Finding a good round frame was a challenge. Sandy, who is the framer at the Attic said if you ever see a good, reasonably priced round frame, snap […]
So I’ve been “saving things up,” and collecting materials and I have A LOT to finish. I’m going to see how much of this I can get done for the September FFO check in. Foxy needs to be framed… There are a couple pillows, large and small… A drum… And a project that wants trim… I know some really dislike […]
I put the last stitches in on “When This You See.” But not at the pool! I had just about 10 stitches left after my last pool session and couldn’t leave it like that for another day. So I finished it that night and now it’s done and added to my September finishing pile. Because it is mid month I […]
Last week I didn’t just work on the reticule. We are back to school with online school for 4 of our 5 kids so I haven’t had quite as much stitching time but I did get some work done on some Smalls. Lest I don’t get around to it, I committed to Smalls first thing since I didn’t get one […]
Welcome to the May 2020 Smalls Check In! I hope everyone got some good stitching in this month! How are things going in your corners of the world? We are not quite emerged from our isolation…mainly due to personal comfort. We are a bunch of homebodies around here! Maybe next month we will go out! Here is my small for […]
