Little by Little

I am working hard on Heirloom Nativity. I want to have all the stitching done before Christmas (not the hardanger, just the stitching, not the cutting!) What is left is the rest of the manger scene, the words, the final decorative band, and the hardanger “squares.” I am putting time into it every day, and it is growing and growing! […]

Two for two

It’s the end of the year and things are getting finished up! I completed the stitching in Charmed by Raise the Roof last night: Next is the fun part: arranging all my charms on it!

I’m thankful for…

…a Thanksgiving Day finish! Here is Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread! And also that I did not run out of “dark pine” thread! It was close! But I made it! All that’s left is the hem stitched border, which I plan to do in January. For now, happy dance! Wishing you and yours a joyful Thanksgiving weekend!

Small Finish Small WIP

This past weekend I finished up the American Goldfinch kit from Crossed Wing Collection for my mom’s birthday present. While it sure is cute, it is hard to sustain the micro stitching for long. Good thing it’s a little project! I finished it in a Tim Holtz watch fob like I did with my cardinal last year. This is an […]

Baby Celebration Celebration!

Hooray! My Baby Celebration is finished! I added the last name after the picture for privacy. Fortunately with such long first and middle names the last name is short! And now on to the November goal: Random Thoughts.

My Three Big WIPs

I went into this year with 3 bigger projects: Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread, Heirloom Nativity by Victoria Sampler, and Baby Celebration by Just Nan. Now do you even remember those first two?! Of course I did make good progress on all of them but none are quite finished! And they all could be! So with 3 months left […]

Fall Break Finishes

I live in Arizona as maybe you notice when I mention it occasionally and in October we are usually experiencing 90+ degree days regularly right up to Halloween. Ugh, right??!! Although it seems like this year has been a bit cooler than normal, our family still wanted to escape the end of summer heat and so we went to visit […]

Now I Know My ABCs

I finished the alphabets in my La D Da projects. Here’s Lazy Alphabet And Leaping Cat For Lazy Alphabet there are a few more little flowers and things and then the border which is just a solid navy line and a dotted red line. Easy peasy! For Leaping Cat there is quite a bit more work- 3 trees, a bunch […]
