Thank you so much, Jo, for this wonderful linkup! This month I will use it to blog when I have nothing really new to blog about! So if you’re a regular reader, get set for a trip down memory lane, and if not, get ready to see some “New To You” pieces I’ve shared before! When I first started stitching, […]
This past weekend I finished up the American Goldfinch kit from Crossed Wing Collection for my mom’s birthday present. While it sure is cute, it is hard to sustain the micro stitching for long. Good thing it’s a little project! I finished it in a Tim Holtz watch fob like I did with my cardinal last year. This is an […]
Hooray! My Baby Celebration is finished! I added the last name after the picture for privacy. Fortunately with such long first and middle names the last name is short! And now on to the November goal: Random Thoughts.
I finished up Mr. Nutley Owl by Just Nan for this month’s Smalls SAL. Here he is! Isn’t he darling? I can see why these designs are addicting. It is just SO cute! I also finished up my Christmas Ornies SAL project for this month’s theme “O Christmas Tree.” This is the Christmas Tree Scissors Keep from The Victoria Sampler […]
I’ve indulged in a lot of daytime stitching and late nights. I should get more sleep…I should clean my house but…well, I’m sure you understand! Plus I started a new audiobook so what can I do??? I completed the bottom part of Lazy Alphabet: There is a solid navy line around the whole which I will do in hand last. […]
Here in Arizona it is hot, hot, hot! The heat really saps my energy! And, with the kids’ summer activities, I don’t have blocks of time for stitching, alas! However I do snatch moments here and there on a variety of small projects. Little by little it adds up, and I realize have quite a lot to show! First, my […]
On vacation I rarely get anything done so I’ve been on a bit of a break. A bit. I managed to make this Mill Hill chicken. It’s not Christmas-y so I won’t use it for a tree ornament but it’s pretty cute so I think I’ll want it out year round anyway. Maybe I’ll put a magnet on it! This […]
Here is my lovely ABC Heart! This was an old freebie from DMC. I don’t see it on DMC’s website anymore which is too bad, it’s such a nice design! I stitched with Caron Waterliles Silk Cherry and Chili on Picture This Plus Truffle. (the fabric is pinker than the picture shows-I need to try to get a better picture). […]
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 […]
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 […]
