Hurray! I found my missing box of finishing materials! It turned out I had packed the box myself, it was an odd shape, and wasn’t well labeled, and had gotten mixed up with boxes of computer equipment the same dimensions. But you don’t need to know that! it was important to find it because I was desperate for felt to […]
Mill Hill came out with their new seasonal kits recently and I really liked this one from the latest series…Mason Jar Mill Hill kits are usually a 2-3 session stitch for me…this one was really fun to do. I like ones with plenty of beads and color changes. I’ll finish it as a magnet.
Hello, I hope all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving last week. We did. The kids and I made 3 pies (apple, pecan, pumpkin) and the rest of our feast was tip top as well. This is not Instagram worthy food photography but maybe you’d like to see it anyway… I did not finish my small. I thought if […]
In an effort to catch up and get going again, I just want to share with you all some of the stitching that has actually happened around here in spite of the lack of blogging about it… I don’t really remember when these little things got started or finished or worked on or whatever so it’s just going to be […]
The end of September and this first bit of October I have been stitching in a random starting and stopping sort of way. I haven’t done a Mill Hill kit in a while so I picked up this nice Fall themed one called Apple Basket, aiming to have a cute Mill Hill ornament for my October Small: Eventually I’d like […]
Thanks to Rachel, one last time this year I have a FFO! This time it’s an old reliable stitch from Mill Hill…the Christmas Flamingo! Who doesn’t need a Christmas flamingo? We sure do because our littlest girl loves everything pink especially flamingos. She had a flamingo birthday last month. Here is her cake. A little less inspired than some of […]
BEADS! Many thanks to Jo for hosting the People’s Choice Blog Hop! Oh man, I had no witches to show you last month, I don’t think I even have one pattern with witches on it! But beads I have in spades! I love designs that use some beads to add sparkle, dimension, and interest to the project. They just give […]
Series of designs! Thank you, Jo for providing such an interesting theme to discuss! I enjoyed thinking on this topic, and look forward to others’ posts as well! Even though from my blog posts it may not seem like I don’t do much stitching of series, I certainly do a lot of collecting for it! And I do love seeing […]
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 […]
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 it to some Christmas stitches […]
