I’ve spent some time on each of the same 3 projects I showed you last time. Here’s how they are coming: The Italian Peacocks purse is going along pretty quickly. I’m thinking it should be done in May. The Bargello Roll is going along pretty slowly. I’m thinking maybe there is a slight possibility I …
Work on several things
I have progress to show you! First, the Peacocks Purse, which I took to the DMV to work on while I waited to get my new driver’s license: I had about 40 minutes of waiting. I also stitched on it a little in some other random moments and during swimming. It’s quite nice to work …
Simply Irresistible
My 2 latest starts are irresistible. Plus, the kids have gone back to swimming so I need a pool project to work on while I watch them. Both of these are easy enough to fit the bill. Here is the Bargello Needle Roll. I have the outline pattern memorized. It’s quite easy to do now. …
Couldn’t resist
I put the first stitches in the Italian Peacocks Purse. This will go quickly if I work on it diligently, But I’m not going to. I want to make progress on my hard projects and that will never happen if I keep doing the easy ones! I couldn’t resist making a start on another Bucket …
Victory!
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 …
