I just completed the second ice skates ornament this morning so now I have the 3 sports ornaments finished for my kids’ Christmas this year! I am happy with the color on the pink skates too, and it’s good to have them slightly different to tell apart whose is whose. Here is the pink one all by itself: And you […]
I have 2 things to show you for the Smalls SAL this month! My thread came in so I finished up Tiny Nativity: Then…I made the Big Mistake I knew well to avoid. However I have not make this mistake before so I thought I could get away with it. I sprayed it a smidgen to iron and the colors […]
I finished X-Mas in my Heart! And I am just waiting for “honeycomb” from my LNS to finish the border of Tiny Nativity: It’s so cute-just 1 1/2″ square! I want to find the mini-est frame for it. Now to FFO… I have lots of things on my to-do list so of course I started something new: It is Spring […]
I just love smalls. It is so satisfying to finish something! Here is what I got done last week: A pair of Mill Hill skates for Daughter #1 (I will make it again right away for Daughter #2 but in purple) And the Threadwork Primitives Quaker Birds Pinwheel: I bought the backing fabric this week too. I love it when […]
Well, it is very frustrating to have followed all the instructions and gone through a lot of effort to get it right and then things just don’t work out! I ordered the specified box from Hobby Lobby for Spring Arose and my piece is TOO BIG to fit on it. I double checked. It’s the correct box. It’s the correct […]
Here is how August is shaping up for Joyful World. I am very happy with it! I swapped some colors around and am working on my lazy daisies! Do I have a finish this week? We’ll see!
I finished the Prairie Schooler 2001 Santa! Yay! This one is a gift and so I will definitely be making it over again for myself. Not this year though! I finished Santa a week or so ago and today I finished Spring Arose by Blackbird Designs. This turned out to be really enjoyable and I love the color palette. I […]
For the Christmas Ornies SAL last month, the theme was blingy ornaments. I could have stayed safe and done one of my numerous very blingy Mill Hill kits. But, I have really been wanting to do the Victoria Sampler Biscornuments and this was a good excuse. They were fast to stitch up so I made 2. Here are the parts, […]
OR How Regular Stitching Has Paid Off This Month. The kids are back in school, so that means I return to my regular schedule and some time to stitch in the car waiting for the pick up. And with the routine back in place, I also end up with some time in the evenings too. Nothing is fully finished but […]
I finished Fraktur Friends! I love it! (Where is my picture??) To celebrate, I kitted up all the things I hope to work on (and complete) in the next month. And then I started them all. First, the 2001 Prairie Schooler Santa. 2001 is important for me because it is my anniversary year. I like that the Santa for this […]
