I have several small projects going this month, I’m aiming to get a couple of them finished if not all. Here’s where they all are: Blackbird Design Wild Garden: Plum Street Sampler’s Birthday Tart: Beehive Needleworks Peacock Pin Pillow: What do you think of the “perfect blue?” This is Evening in Paris by Dinky Dyes. It is as bright as […]
I’m linking up with Jo’s People’s Choice for May- the theme is Flowers. I feel like a lot of my stitching has flowers in it! Here are some highlights: Fobs by The Drawn Thread and The Scarlett House Blackbird Designs’ “Spring Arose” which still has not been FFO’d but which I still think is SO pretty! Various Flowers on Pillows: […]
I’ve been doing a lot of stitching here and there, but not really finishing anything. I keep thinking and hoping I’ll finish something so I can join in an SAL or have something of consequence to post but alas. It is the end of the school year. We are busy. I haven’t had time to finish things, much less post […]
Happy New Year!!! I feel like I should really take stock of my finishes for 2017 in one post to get a sense of what I really got done. I finished many smalls and many ornaments, thanks mostly to the smalls/ornaments SALs I’ve participated in! Here are my pin cushions: The two on the top left were stitched in 2016 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
