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 …
November 2020 Smalls Check In
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! I hope you all had a wonderful day and were able to check in with loved ones even if you could not be with them this year. We had a nice day, just our family, DH, me and the 5 kids. We watched the Macy’s parade in the …
Progress and A Finish
I have been working on my La D Da Holly Drum. I just have the top and bottom to complete. It should be ready for the Smalls check in on Friday! FINALLY I have gotten my last threads for my Drawn Thread Toccata 1! Do you remember this piece from FEBRUARY? I had ordered the …
FFO Gallery November 2020
I’m linking up with Rachel over at Ten Hour Stitcher again this month for her “Fully Finished Object” gallery. This is just the kick in the pants I need every month to move projects from the “finished stitching” to the “fully finished” stage. It has been a great antidote to the drawer that inevitably ends …
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… …
Other little things
Last week I didn’t just work on the reticule. We are back to school with online school for 4 of our 5 kids so I haven’t had quite as much stitching time but I did get some work done on some Smalls. Lest I don’t get around to it, I committed to Smalls first thing …
FFO Gallery-May
I have a some small finishes to share for Rachel’s Fully Finished Object Gallery this month. First I finished up the JBW Spring Bouquet needlebook. See why I wanted to get this one? It’s such a pretty thing! The finishing materials were included in the kit. The fob is a tiny version of the needlebook …
The People Choose…
Modern Samplers! For those just joining in, Let the People Choose is a Blog Hop organized by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching. Each month “The People” suggest a blog post theme, and we all do our best to show and tell for the theme. This month is one of my favorite themes so far, the Modern …
March 2020 Small Check In
In spite of all the upending of normal life these past few weeks I do have a few things to show you for the Smalls check in! First I finished my Grandma’s Mill Hill Patchwork mitten. It just needs its backing felt. I picked up a tiny little monogram fob project from La D Da…this …
March Fully Finished Gallery
It’s a framing month! I finally got around to ordering some frames for a few pieces that have been finished for a while and are deserving of proper display. Framing is always more time consuming and picky than I think it will be, but the results are always worth it. I just love seeing my …
