I have a story for you about a triumph of materials hunting. When I saw this chart of Giulia Punti Antichi “Flowers and Lace,” I had to have it. I thought it was SO lovely. But it was older and there were no finishing kits anywhere. Oh well, I still liked it. I didn’t stitch …
Finishing Frenzy!
So I’ve been “saving things up,” and collecting materials and I have A LOT to finish. I’m going to see how much of this I can get done for the September FFO check in. Foxy needs to be framed… There are a couple pillows, large and small… A drum… And a project that wants trim… …
Fully Finished June
Many thanks again to Rachel for hosting the monthly “Fully Finished Gallery!” It is an opportunity to show off fully finished stitches and provides great motivation every month to keep things out of the “drawer of shame.” (that special drawer or box we all have of stitched pieces that never get that final touch!) I …
Two Little Finishes and My New Focus Project
I got my 2 little WIPS dones last week, they were quickies! Here is the Christmas Ornament from GPA. This was so enjoyable to stitch with luscious silks! It would work for any number of color combinations. I like designs like that, those that can really show off the threads. I am thinking a rich …

What now?
I was having a little trouble deciding what to do after The Pink Sparrow. I have way too many projects started at the moment. While I long to get into another one of the bigger ones, I feel like I need to tick a few more off the WIP list first. Of course it doesn’t …
WIPS again
I’ve had so much trouble with this post that I’ve just scrapped it and rewritten it. Ugh. Anyway, here’s what I have been up to this past week: The Pink Sparrow (I can see a finish very soon! Maybe this week!) Foxy (Just look at that sparkly white tail! That was the most fun part …
Progress on the WIPs
I just love working on The Pink Sparrow and I made good progress last week! I guess I’m avoiding the border a little bit. But if that’s all that’s left at the end it should go pretty fast! I have some of the cutwork done on Foxy. Cutwork is when you cut the little spiral …
The WIPS
It’s been a crazy, but peaceful, time. We had spring break the 2nd week of March, and then like many schools, were told not to come back to school for one, then two, four weeks, and now the school year will be completed at home. One by one all our activities were cancelled. I have …
May Flowers
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 …
Some days of concentrated effort
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 …
