This past week/weekend I attended (and worked and worked and worked!) at The Attic’s Summer School. I have never been an attendee before and it was just amazing. We were so busy in the shop all week and the actual event was Friday evening through Sunday noon. There were 6 wonderful projects from Vickie and Maegan Jennett (Needlework Press), Brenden […]
This past weekend I finished up the American Goldfinch kit from Crossed Wing Collection for my mom’s birthday present. While it sure is cute, it is hard to sustain the micro stitching for long. Good thing it’s a little project! I finished it in a Tim Holtz watch fob like I did with my cardinal last year. This is an […]
I went into this year with 3 bigger projects: Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread, Heirloom Nativity by Victoria Sampler, and Baby Celebration by Just Nan. Now do you even remember those first two?! Of course I did make good progress on all of them but none are quite finished! And they all could be! So with 3 months left […]
As if I don’t have enough going on, this week I caught a bad case of startitis. I started March of Joyful World! Which is my only legitimate start because I have to at least start March in March, right? (is February done? No, it is not! Not quite anyway! I am still deciding on my special stitching for the […]
This week I picked up Random Thoughts again after a break of about a month I guess while I was working on Heirloom Nativity. I started reluctantly because I so wanted to continue HN! But after that first day, with enthusiasm! I love this piece! I was drawn initially (ha ha) to the variety of motifs above all, and the […]
What am I working on? EVERYTHING! I’ve been busy this week. I finished the shepherds band! It is lovely. I put in the very first stitch on the lace and then I resisting continuing. I will pull out Random Thoughts tonight. I will put in the lace when I’ve made some progress on RT. Here is Heirloom Nativity so […]
February 1! How did we get here so fast? And in that short time, was I able to get anything done? Let’s see. Progress made on Heirloom Nativity: not as much as I wanted (I wanted to finish the shepherds row) but it is getting closer. I was hindered by needing to take out the wrong color I used on […]
Here’s how the Heirloom Nativity is coming! I love it! So pretty! And this first part went rather quickly so that is nice. Now I did cheat a little bit on my plan..I got the first 7 bands done, but then I started up the 8th, just to finish up the evening last night. I would have gotten more on […]
On a busy weekend, the best I can hope for my stitching is to grab what time I can here and there. The result of that this weekend is the addition of a bunch of the birds to the Drawn Thread piece. The photo on the chart is so tiny, it is hard to appreciate how cute this thing is. […]
