December 2020 FFOs

I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher for the last Fully Finished Object Gallery of 2020! I was not sure I could get any of my pieces FFO’d this month so anything counts as a triumph! First, of course I HAD to do my daughter’s rocking horse ornament. Here it is on the tree. Oof. This was the […]

How’d I do?

At the beginning of October I had GOALS. I met them. I am proud! Yay! I finished (FFO’d) the 2 small projects I wanted to get done. I got the stitching done on 2 “bonus” smalls: And, I made great progress on Autumn Quakers: The little mauve leaf at the bottom right is the bottom of the sampler. So I […]

October 2020 Smalls Check In

My 1st small finish this month was unexpected and not what I planned!

I have finally finished my crewel rocking horse ornament from Jiffy Stitchery! If you remember, […]

Fully Finished July

So glad to have this one in the books. I think it’s lovely though and am so glad I stuck with it. I found the sew-on Swarovski crystals on Etsy from Crystallized […]

July Plans

This month I’m going to try hard not to start anything new. I have plenty to work on. I definitely plan to finish up my Silk and Satin project from Betsy Morgan. I got my missing silk color and it’s quite close to a finish. I like working on this little crewel rocking horse ornament. It’s a fun diversion and […]

All things bright and beautiful

I finished the Jiffy crewel “I Love You!” Ornament. So fun! My baby girl picked out this one to do next so I will make it for her. She loves going on a rocking horse. Whenever we go to Hobby Lobby we always must plan for 10-15 minutes to ride the rocking horsies in the foyer. They are the old […]

We interrupt this cross stitching…

To bring you a fun little crewel project! I saw someone online had finished this little design and remembered I had it in my stash too! I had to make it up. Plus my eyes were tired the other night and I wanted to do something less taxing. This is 3 stitching sessions for me and one more tonight should […]
