First finish of 2023!

Yay! I have finished the Victoria Sampler Biscornuments series! I made the last ornament my final start of 2022 on New Year’s Eve, and was able to complete it on New Year’s Day! I “saved” this one for last because it struck me as less interesting than the others but I think it just didn’t photograph well. It is so […]

December 2022 Smalls Check In

Here it is, the very last Smalls Check In for 2022! Thanks to all of you who participate! Since I still have a number of bloggers joining each month, I will keep it going again in 2023, just the same as ever. Here is the new badge if you’d like to place it on your blog: My small this month […]

The People Choose…

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 […]

June 2022 Gifted Gorgeousness

I’m linking up with Jo at Serendipitous Stitching to share my super gorgeous gift for my parents’ 50th Anniversary…you saw the creation, and now here is the (almost) finish (the frame is on backorder…it’s a long story!!) Sandy, who is the framer at The Attic, mounted it for me. Perfect as always. I will give it to them this weekend..

June 2022 FFO Gallery

It was like pulling teeth but I managed to get my little FFOs done this month! As always I’m linking up with Rachel to share my work, and to thank her for the much-needed kick in the pants I once again needed to get anything fully finished! Here is my sweet little Sugar Plum Fairy Mouse! I left the pom […]

May 2022 Smalls Check In!

Ahhh…It’s already time to check in with our May Small Stitches! I feel like this month has just FLOWN by. My goodness. Can it already be summer? My kids are done with school today and now get 2 months to goof off. My stitching productivity will probably plummet since I won’t be sitting in the school pick up line…but I […]

WIP MAYnia #4! A start on my smalls!

After a lot of fun progress with the last couple WIPs, I really did need to make up a small for this month. I really felt that Miss Holly Go Brightly mouse needed a friend right away, and here she is, the Sugar Plum Fairy mouse. She just needs some finishing touches, finishing the white smrynas and adding the bling. […]

Heirloom Anniversary…not quite

My goal for April was to finish the Heirloom Anniversary from The Victoria Sampler. I even was bold enough to think it would be done by Easter. Ugh. I did not make it. I have to admit it took me a LONG time to find a rhythm with the Hardanger. I worry it could be a lot better, and am […]

The People Choose…

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 […]
