I’ve had no time for good long stitching sessions lately. What I’ve gotten done so far has happened bit by bit. I guess those bits add up but I’m not as far along as I’d like to be this month! I put the squirrel and his little tree on the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches: …
Mid March Progress Report
I’ve been stitching away on a variety of projects this month. It’s kind of been a hodgepodge and this update is long overdue! Here is Jeannette Douglas’s ABC Sampler with a few letters added: As I’ve been working on this I have been questioning some of my colors. The color used in the double dividing …
February (no March!) Gifted Gorgeousness
I had prepared this post for February’s Gifted Gorgeousness but got distracted and didn’t post it! Sorry! I think the issue was I had not taken my pictures! I do not have an intermediate picture-just the most current views…oh well. Anyway, I was working on the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Anniversary as a gift for my …

A baseball weekend
Baseball season is in full swing (ha ha) here and soon I’ll have 4 kids on 4 teams. This weekend it was *only* 3 on 3 and I got to do the honors of taking the #1 son to his travel games. That meant lots of stitching time!! I made great progress on Heirloom Anniversary! …

Happy New Year! A 2021 Summary
In 2021 I had 28 finishes. It is much less than the number of finishes as 2020 (42 I think?) but most of them were a good deal more complex. And several of them were off my “bucket list,” projects I deemed to be high priorities in my stitching career. I also had a good …
Advent Blog Hop 2021
Welcome! It is the Serendipitous Stitching 2021 Advent Blog Hop! The theme this year is Christmas Trees! I was so happy to see that because I just love Christmas trees. My parents lived in Germany before I was born (actually I was born in Heidelberg and spent my first year there too) and collected many …
Making Progress on Those June Goals Despite a Fun Interruption
I spent all of last week stitching Kloster Blocks on the Heirloom Nativity! My goodness…they are more time consuming that I thought they would be! You really have to pay attention. I’ve had to do a bit of picking out… I guess I am 3/4 done. I can’t wait to start the eyelets and cutting! …

I am making 2 little biscornus this month for some SALs I’m trying to participate in. First is one of The Victoria Sampler’s “Biscornuments” which has Rhodes Hearts on it. It will show up in honor of several SALvposts later this week. I tried to get it done today but I spent all afternoon making …
