WIPS to Work On I’ve sorted out my many many project bags and have put a number in my workbasket to focus on this year…at least the first bit of this year. Most of these have been worked on pretty recently, and other will probably make you say, “Mary! You didn’t finish that yet?!” We’re not going to look and […]
I’ve been true to my 2 samplers, Red and Green Carnations and Mary Ellen Turner. Straight forward stitching on both of these…though I’m getting closer to picky counting work on Mary Ellen. Look! I matched up the border! I had made a couple small errors but happily they were easily corrected and my border matched. I was so excited I […]
I have lots of WIPS. Too many! I have 2 ideas about them for the rest of my 2025 stitching. My first idea is what can I finish?! Wouldn’t it be great to get in another good finish this year? Which WIPS qualify for that?? My other idea is what do I really want to stitch on? Even if it […]
My family was blessed enough to get a week long vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii last week! and I personally was blessed with good stitching time during it! We stayed at a beautiful resort and did many fun things….snorkeling, swimming in the pool and at the beach, eating good treats, driving around to see waterfalls and the Volcano […]
This past weekend I worked through The Attic’s Summer School. It was a really fabulous event. I was a worker bee, not a participant, but still got to enjoy some good stitching time and socializing with all the lovely stitching people over the weekend. That is a real perk of working at Attic Needlework! Here is some inspiration for you […]
I don’t know what gets into me sometimes…well, probably the same thing that gets into any of us stitchers. I justified it by saying that I needed something with straight lines to stitch at the pool but the reality is, I’ve had the Red and Green Carnation Sampler by Samplers Remembered kitted for ages and rediscovering it on a cleaning […]
This year I brought several older projects over to Sandy, the framer extraordinaire, at The Attic and have her fix them up for me. The last one is done and here they are. I am very pleased with how they all came out! First was The Pink Sparrow by Brenda Gervais. I had framed this myself during Covid and the […]
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 […]
Life has gotten bogged down lately…mostly ok stuff, just too much going on! I didn’t meet my stitching goals for August. But I was out of town 3 weekends and there has been a lot of busy-ness at home! I told you I’d share the little bird pinwheel from Fox and Rabbit that I had started at summer school. It […]
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 […]
