POUNCE by Leisure Arts I bet you didn’t know that there is another stitcher in my house besides me and my daughter. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it before, but my son also knows how to stitch. He hasn’t stitched anything in AGES, but he used to, when he was much, much younger. He … Continue reading
I apologize for my lengthy absence. I lost my stitchy bug and haven’t been able to find it, for quite some time. Until now. I’m starting a new project. I’ve ordered it from the UK. Just waiting for it to come in. From the tracking, I can see it was shipped on September 22. I’m … Continue reading
I finished Remembrance, and I dove head into my next project, July’s Amethyst Fairy. I’m making this as a gift for my mom. One day we were talking about my cross-stitch and the projects I’ve made as gifts over the years, and she commented that she didn’t have one. I immediately felt like crap. LOL. … Continue reading
I came across a stash sale on Facebook, and I ended up purchasing the following: I did have a scissor fob that Maria made me, but it got caught on something and broke into pieces. I didn’t replace the fob until I saw this cute dragonfly fob. I love it. I also couldn’t resist … Continue reading
Remembrance by Joan Elliott I was finally able to finish this project for my cousin. Although I rather enjoyed beading the swirls around the wings, head, and dress, I felt like the beading on the dress was never going to end. Because this took forever, I opted out of stitching the French knots all over … Continue reading
My friend adored her gift. I was able to courier it to her just in time for her birthday. I’m so happy. I wish I could have delivered it myself. I would have loved to have seen her reaction. I was so worried it was going to break in transit. I bought a special box … Continue reading
Just came across this neat little monthly challenge for 2016 while reading up on another blog. I think I can partake in this one. It’s the Smalls 2016 SAL hosted by Stitching Lotus. I’m a few months late, but the rules state that you can hop in at any time. Now…to find a small project. … Continue reading
Your favorite post on your blog from this year so far. This one’s a bit difficult for me, because I don’t have very many postings for 2016. I just don’t have a lot on the go. I’m currently working on a larger project, and I don’t like to have too many projects on the go. … Continue reading
This will probably be my last progress post, as I’ve been working my way through the back stitching and am very close to starting the beading. My next post on Remembrance will be my close-up post, beads and all. I’m very, very happy with the way this is coming out. She’s just lovely. It’s a … Continue reading
I feel like I just posted the other day, but when I looked at the next couple of progress shots, I realized it’s been much longer than that. Where does the time go? I’ve been working on my cross-stitch during my lunch hours and trying to get as much as I can done during the … Continue reading
