Hello, everyone! It’s been a while. I haven’t been stitching much, which is odd, because with the quarantine lock-downs, you’d think I would be taking advantage of the down time. I’ve been spreading my time between reading, online training, and being a slouch. Just recently, I decided to throw my cross-stitch back into rotation. I’m … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on my daughter’s project. She made a bit of headway with it for a while and then put it down again. Since then, she hasn’t touched it, which is a shame. She could have blasted through this during the COVID lock down while there was nothing … Continue reading
My dragonfly scissor FOB broke. I’m kind of sad about it. I really liked it. You know what happens when something breaks? You either fix it or replace it. And, since I don’t really know how to fix it, I bought a new one. I found my latest acquisition from the Those Crazy Ladies Etsy … Continue reading

To get the full ISHW details, click here. I did make a post in the Facebook group. As I mentioned in that post, I … Continue reading
Cute Bunny by Nadezha Mashtakova I have a new small finish. This one took me approximately one month to complete. I’m glad I decided to do this small one in between my large ones. It gives me the illusion of making progress. Who doesn’t like a finish? Am I right? The eye called for a … Continue reading
So happy to be stitching again and to finally be able to participate in the International Hermit and Stitch Weekend. To get the full ISHW details, click here. This weekend, I worked on Cute Bunny. This is what my project looked like when I started: I decided to tackle some of the back stitch. I … Continue reading
I took my project in for framing today. Although I’m always excited to take a project in for framing, because I’m that much closer to having a fully completed project, I’m always a little bit overwhelmed with all the framing and matting options and colour combinations from which to choose. I’m a very visual person. … Continue reading
July’s Amethyst Fairy by Mirabilia (Nora Corbett) We have a finish! I can’t believe I completed this in record time. I really hunkered down during the evenings and weekends, am I’m so happy my effort paid off. About 3/4 of the way through this project, I came across a post on Facebook, stating that the … Continue reading
