The People Choose…Bees
Jo at Serendipitous Stitching hosts a monthly themed blog hop, as you may know by now! It is a nice way to showcase designs by theme and always interesting for me to discover what I’ve stitched that fits! This month’s theme is bees. I have always liked bees. One day I think it would be …

I’m linking up with Jo for her Gifted Gorgeousness SAL, where, if any part of your project has to do with being a gift or being made from a gift, you can join! I shared this on my instagram a little white ago, but here is the finish of the Sweetheart Tree Tooth Fairy Pillow …
An Update for You
I’ve been doing a lot of stitching here and there, but not really finishing anything. I keep thinking and hoping I’ll finish something so I can join in an SAL or have something of consequence to post but alas. It is the end of the school year. We are busy. I haven’t had time to …

Coming Right Along
