I picked up a little bitty project to stitch on a plane trip last weekend…it was so small I finished it! This is Christmas Scissors Basket from JBW Designs: This was one of those projects that stitched so fast I wondered why I didn’t just stitch it when I got it. I probably spent more time thinking about starting it […]
Here is the finished stitching for Natalie’s tooth fairy pillow: And here it is getting made into the pillow! And here are 3 of the 4 the tooth fairy pillows that I have made. (My oldest son never got one. He had a little treasure box that he liked to use.) (The first one I made was put away as […]
This first week of the new year has seen some good stitching! While I don’t have my WIPGO board ready yet, I do know some of the things I will be working on this month and so I got started. I have to admit to massaging my board a little bit to suit my plans for January! I guess that’s […]
I have FFOs for you! Autumn Splendor from With They Needle and Thread. I’m so happy I was able to finish it just like the model. I loved the model so much! The Botanical Bee from Hands on Design. I went with the yellow bee fabric. For one thing, this choice won the widest support from everyone who saw it […]
I bet you knew I would make it! I finished a small for this month! This is called Flowers from Mary by La D Da. Of course I was delighted to have a little project with my name in the title of it. I love the quirky flower vase and the alphabet border. I love just about everything from La […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for giving me a reason to FFO some pieces this month and share them with you! I finished up the Sugar Plum Fairy from Satsuma Street. The designer sent me a whole new bead packet and guess what? It’s a good thing I asked her about this because the packet that came in my kit […]
SNOW! I’m linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching, for her monthly People’s Choice blog and the theme for February is SNOW! Here in the Phoenix area, February is really the start of our spring so any thoughts of snow at the moment seem out of season! I know that is a foreign concept to many of you in colder […]
In 2021 I had 28 finishes. It is much less than the number of finishes as 2020 (42 I think?) but most of them were a good deal more complex. And several of them were off my “bucket list,” projects I deemed to be high priorities in my stitching career. I also had a good number of starts which I […]
Fancy Finishes! Every month Jo hosts us over at Serendipitous Stitching for a themed blog hop. And Fancy Finishes, the theme for December, is right up my alley! If you’ve read my blog for any length of time you know I do like to try my hand at some fancy finishing. Especially this year I challenged myself to do some […]
I was inspired this month to stitch up some very small smalls for the August SAL. They stitched up so quickly I didn’t have time for a progress picture so I saved them for you. First I did a little Shepherd’s Bush fob, I think it is called “Blooms.” It is very bright and cheery! It is a little big […]
