No sooner do I get an idea in my head than I am distracted from the task at hand. I wrote last week’s post and then said to myself that I really should go looking for more smalls to work on this month. Looking for trouble more like! I found quite a few started smalls that I will aim to […]
I’ve been true to my 2 samplers, Red and Green Carnations and Mary Ellen Turner. Straight forward stitching on both of these…though I’m getting closer to picky counting work on Mary Ellen. Look! I matched up the border! I had made a couple small errors but happily they were easily corrected and my border matched. I was so excited I […]
I have lots of WIPS. Too many! I have 2 ideas about them for the rest of my 2025 stitching. My first idea is what can I finish?! Wouldn’t it be great to get in another good finish this year? Which WIPS qualify for that?? My other idea is what do I really want to stitch on? Even if it […]
My family was blessed enough to get a week long vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii last week! and I personally was blessed with good stitching time during it! We stayed at a beautiful resort and did many fun things….snorkeling, swimming in the pool and at the beach, eating good treats, driving around to see waterfalls and the Volcano […]
This past weekend I worked through The Attic’s Summer School. It was a really fabulous event. I was a worker bee, not a participant, but still got to enjoy some good stitching time and socializing with all the lovely stitching people over the weekend. That is a real perk of working at Attic Needlework! Here is some inspiration for you […]
I wanted to get back to some cross stitch comfort stitching so I picked up Mary Ellen Turner these past few nights. I needed some stitching that didn’t take too much thinking, I’ve made excellent progress on it. I really am enjoying the Belle Soie silks, both the colors and the feel of the silk. It’s coming out really pretty. […]
I don’t know what gets into me sometimes…well, probably the same thing that gets into any of us stitchers. I justified it by saying that I needed something with straight lines to stitch at the pool but the reality is, I’ve had the Red and Green Carnation Sampler by Samplers Remembered kitted for ages and rediscovering it on a cleaning […]
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 […]
