I finished the stitching in the velvet carrot from Stacy Nash! We had a great camping trip up in central Arizona the week after Memorial Day. The weather was perfect, it was so nice to have a private group site for our 3 families that went together, and our meal plan worked out really good. We ate well! I didn’t […]
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 […]
We are going camping this week! I decided to prep a project for easy, sit around, stitching. I outlined the bunny and flower on Stacy Nash’s Velvet Parsnip. It’s quite a cute design. I’m rethinking my ornaments idea…hmm. Now I”m imagining a bowl full of Stacy Nash fruits and veggies. All backed with velvet. So hard to decide on the […]
Two of my coworkers at the Attic were stitching something really cute from Nashville that I also had wanted to stitch…and said it is stitched up so quickly and we chatted and I got a good idea for a finish of it…so I came right home from work that day and kitted it up. I planned to show you my […]
Nashville Market is an inspiring time of year at a needlework shop. Seeing so many new things just makes you want to buy it all and stitch it all and all at once! Not having some much stitching lately and having my stuff packed up makes me especially vulnerable to this sort of market fever! So…I have a couple new […]
I have finally gotten around to unpacking my smalls, and I have made a new vignette for my display by the front door! I had purchased a large pedestal stand for my Advent candles this year. (I never found a wreath I liked, so I just got this pedestal stand and put big pillar candles on it with some greenery […]
We’re half way through 2023 and it’s time for the June Smalls Check In! Mine is no surprise…I finished the front cover of my Birds of a Feather needlebook from Stacy Nash: This bird is the cutest! It’s the reason I got the chart. It reminds me of the William Morris strawberry thief. I decided to use this stitch and […]
Last weekend I was camping with my 2 bigs kids and some friends. I needed a tiny project for down time. I selected Strawberry Liberty from Chessie and Me. Here is how it’s going. Maybe it will be my June small. One of them. Because I had yet another bird to stitch! I had to make the last part of […]
I’m a little late…that’s the theme of my life these days…but I have a small for you this last Friday of May…it is another element of the Stacy Nash Birds of a Feather needle book. Now isn’t that cute with all those different birdies? I do the last big bird in June, my favorite element of the project. Save the […]
I feel like I’m coming out of hibernation with my stitching and blogging this past month. I was kitting so many projects I’m not even going to list them here…except for the ones I’ve started. I have been on such an unearned new starts kick, having my own private MAYnia here through the end of April! Now that it’s May […]
