This year I brought several older projects over to Sandy, the framer extraordinaire, at The Attic and have her fix them up for me. The last one is done and here they are. I am very pleased with how they all came out! First was The Pink Sparrow by Brenda Gervais. I had framed this myself during Covid and the […]
I finished the Featherbeds Strawberry from Erica Michaels. It came out really well. Nearly perfect. I am patting myself on the back over this one. The flower and leaf pins are from The Glasshopper on Etsy and are a perfect complement. I love her pins. The silver bird is from another pin shop on Etsy…sweet and simple. Here is my […]
I finally gave up on finding my finishing stuff box and bought new mat board. So! I could finish the funky little birdy I stitched last year on this little wooden box: I’m working in a couple other finishes I needed mat board for…they’ll be coming soon. While I had out my finishing stuff I mounted the little silk gauze […]
I finally got out my sewing machine today and made little pillows! Here is my Blackbird Designs Souvenir de France. I used the pink stripe fabric for the backing and Painter’s Threads silver embellished rick rack. It is just fancy and understated enough for a French souvenir. Next up is the Joy To Ewe Chessie and Me kit I stitched […]
I didn’t finish my Be My Valentine stitching yet and I made a new different rose this week anyway. I’m so distractable but it’s so good to be stitching so much! This is an OLD Theron Traditions kit on 40ct silk gauze. I loved stitching it. It finishes as a pendent. I also finished the Blackbird Designs Coxcomb box top. […]
Last year I was excited to get to purchase some treasures from Jackie du Plessis’ pop up shop at an Attic event. I made one up this past weekend. It was simple in concept but tricky in practice. I also started a new project this weekend. I really had no business doing that but it was my birthday! It is […]
I’m on a roll! I finished up Souvenir de France, the little piece I took with me on our big family trip to London and Paris last fall. This is an old freebie from Blackbird Designs. Click here if you’d like to get the chart. I can’t remember the linen I stitched on, but I know it’s 40 count and […]
Sadly, blogging has taken a back seat these days. So has stitching, even more sadly. There are little fits and bursts but not a lot to show for it, and certainly no focus. I really wanted to do the WIPGO, but that has also been a bit of a bust. Maybe…maybe I’ll just catch up here with some pictures of […]
Oh dear … I checked my last published post and see it’s been over a month since an update! Yikes! I think I had planned a post for the end of September that was never published but now I can’t find it. I probably wrote it in my head! It was related to it having been my 8 year blogging […]
Life has gotten bogged down lately…mostly ok stuff, just too much going on! I didn’t meet my stitching goals for August. But I was out of town 3 weekends and there has been a lot of busy-ness at home! I told you I’d share the little bird pinwheel from Fox and Rabbit that I had started at summer school. It […]
