I was very sick last week with something like the flu…it wasn’t Covid…but still I quarantined away from the family because we didn’t need more people coming down with the awful thing I had! The only upside was after the achiness left my hands (2 days I couldn’t stitch the aches were so bad!) I …
November 2022 Smalls Check In
Yesterday in the USA was Thanksgiving! My parents are here in Arizona for a visit. We had a wonderful feast! We truly have so much to be thankful for! I wanted to share a finish of the Sampler Etui needlebook, but it’s not done yet! But here is my progress. Maybe I’ll get it done …
A Finish! And November Plans
Oops! I forgot to post this last week! So I’m I’m back dating it! I finished Praise Jesus over the last weekend of October. I’m very happy with it. The several small stitches I’ve just done look so nice together I feel like I should frame them into a little wall collage. Now I need …
MNO…P(raise Jesus)
Hi friends! We are enjoying cooler temperatures in the Phoenix area now. It is our nice time of year. I love the fresh mornings. I feel like we are hurtling towards the holidays and the end of the year. There is so much to do! Have I mentioned I am trying, and failing, to pick …
Little things
I’m enjoying stitching away on my little projects this month. I’ve nearly finished my Little Black Cat. It is from Bent Creek. I have no idea how I will finish it. Maybe a tiny frame and then I can sit it on the mantle with the fall decor. Though I don’t think I’m putting up …
The People Choose…Pets!
I’m taking part in Jo’s People’s Choice this month to highlight pet themed stitching. For me, that means cats. Although I don’t have any pets at the moment, until recently I had cats my whole life, and before children I also went through a period of serious fish-keeping. But I learned that aquarium fish are …
July 2022 Fully Finished Object
My Fully Finished Object for the July Gallery is the Blue Flower Pindrum by La D Da. I did my best! It is stuffed with poly beads on the bottom for weight, sawdust for stiffness in the middle, and fiber fill on the top to be easy to stick the pins in. I have done …
June 2022 Smalls Check In
It feels like we had a short month this month with the Smalls Check In falling on the 24th! Did that catch any of you unawares? It’s ok! You have a whole week to link up with this post! I was happy to finish my Blue Flower Pin Drum by La D Da this month. …
Deviation from the plan!
I was working on Luz this week but needed a smaller project as a take along so I grabbed the small I’m planning to make for June. This is the Blue Flower Pindrum from La D Da. It’s a fast stitch!! I’m almost half done! This one is just too sweet. I really love it.
January FFOs. A last blast of Christmas cheer
I got busy in December and wasn’t able to join Rachel’s FFO Gallery with all my Christmas finishes like I’d hoped! And I’m just squeaking in this month too. In fact you’ll have to check back in later as I couldn’t get my photos in before the link up closed tonight! Anyway… I really owed …
