I picked up the Heirloom Nativity last week. I’m trying to get the bands done between the shepherds and kings before July. Then I will be about half done with this thing if you don’t count the hardanger at the bottom. That will feel like an accomplishment! I need to add the beads to the lace, finish the vine, and […]
I had a 3 hour blood test today which meant an unusual amount of daytime stitching time. I was actually looking forward to it in order to have that stitching time! I didn’t get anything finished, but made some progress on a couple things: First, my June small which is this adorable little Riolis kit. It is on plastic canvas […]
The last Friday in May this year really snuck up, being on the 26th this month! Good thing I picked such a teeny tiny small! 🙂 So…here it is for my contribution to the Smalls SAL hosted over at Stitching Lotus (thanks, Heather!). I Love Strawberries by The Sweetheart Tree It really is small at 2.5″ by 1.75.” Now, I […]
Today I finished up the Just Nan grow! pin cushion for the facebook smalls spring challenge. Here it is! The finishing was harder than the tin actually! I was concerned about being able to sew it in a circle without it being lumpy. That part actually went fine. But when I turned it, I didn’t leave a big enough opening […]
Here, finally, is my small for this (last) month, the Gingerbread Man Ornament by Little House Needleworks. I’ve always thought this is one of their cutest ornaments and I’m glad to have made it! It would have been done sooner if only I could count to 3 accurately on those border corners! Ugh! All but one of them messed me […]
I was working on my smalls last week. I finished the stitching on the grow! pin cushion. Isn’t it pretty? I can’t wait do complete the finishing. I need to check if it needs beads. There might be a few. I got the gingerbread man done on the Little House ornament. Some of the stitches look a little wonky but I […]
I feel like I have been progressing at a snail’s pace these days. We’re busy and I’m tired! But this week I’ve buckled down and spent some good time with Random Thoughts and the Just Nan pin cushion. I finished the 1 over 1 motto! And here’s the whole thing so far: I can see my self-designated stopping point […]
I did it! I have it ready to post on the day it’s due over at Stitching Lotus‘s 2017 Smalls SAL! Thanks for hosting, Heather! Here’s my small: It is Stoneware Bunny by Priscilla’s Pocket. It came as a little kit, just needed to add my own backing. I choose a striped denim which I thought went pretty well with […]
As if I don’t have enough going on, this week I caught a bad case of startitis. I started March of Joyful World! Which is my only legitimate start because I have to at least start March in March, right? (is February done? No, it is not! Not quite anyway! I am still deciding on my special stitching for the […]
My big projects are on the back burner(s) as I attempt to catch up and stay caught up with the SALs. (I do not resent them…yet!) Here is my Christmas ornies SAL-if all goes well it will be done today! I will love having a handful of my Mill Hill ornaments completed this year thanks to the SAL. I have […]
