This week I picked up Random Thoughts again after a break of about a month I guess while I was working on Heirloom Nativity. I started reluctantly because I so wanted to continue HN! But after that first day, with enthusiasm! I love this piece! I was drawn initially (ha ha) to the variety of motifs above all, and the […]
February 1! How did we get here so fast? And in that short time, was I able to get anything done? Let’s see. Progress made on Heirloom Nativity: not as much as I wanted (I wanted to finish the shepherds row) but it is getting closer. I was hindered by needing to take out the wrong color I used on […]
Between Christmas and New Years and family and feasting there has not been a lot of stitching going! And Random Thoughts seems to be coming along SO SLOWLY. I’m not sure why-it seems like it should be quick. And you know, I was saying before about Birds, that I always thought many pieces from Drawn Thread were a little drab […]
Here’s how the Heirloom Nativity is coming! I love it! So pretty! And this first part went rather quickly so that is nice. Now I did cheat a little bit on my plan..I got the first 7 bands done, but then I started up the 8th, just to finish up the evening last night. I would have gotten more on […]
Lounging Hare has proved to be a great motivator this week-I can’t wait to really get into it. So, I have FINALLY finished For the Birds! Ta Da! I really like it! I plan to frame it up myself. I need to find a frame with a 7 1/2″ square opening. Not likely, right? I will have to order one. […]
It always happens that when we plan a trip, I think, I will bring my stitching and get so much done on it I should bring one or two more things to start! Since I will have so much free time! And then it always happens that I rarely even put one stitch in. This kind of plan shows my […]
Wow, I am amazed at the quick progress on For the Birds! I put finishing touches on extant birds on Monday, Kitty in the Corner yesterday, and, got the crows and charms in by the end of the week! I will do the alphabet border over the next week. It has a few more birds in the border to keep […]
On a busy weekend, the best I can hope for my stitching is to grab what time I can here and there. The result of that this weekend is the addition of a bunch of the birds to the Drawn Thread piece. The photo on the chart is so tiny, it is hard to appreciate how cute this thing is. […]
Here we are at the end of summer with my last finishes! First up is Ding Dong Merrily on High by Little House Needleworks. I cut it pretty close on this one to use up the remnant from You are My Sunshine-really pretty fabric. And anyway, it will be an ornament. Little House makes such cute things. And for the […]
