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
As my daughter quietly works away in between university studying…
I did it! I am way ahead of schedule. I don’t know how I pulled it off, but I did. This took hours and hours of stitching during the evenings and weekends. I tried to get as much as I could get done during my lunch hour as well. I have a little bit of … Continue reading
My daughter is working on Stargazer, so I’ll be showcasing her project on my blog. We played around with fabrics that I had on hand and we settled on a fabric that looks remarkably similar to this: I found this image via Google search, and I’ll post the source link to give appropriate credit, but … Continue reading
Stitch. Stitch. Stitch. That seems to be all I’ve been doing with any spare time I have. I’m making great progress. There’s a high chance I will reach my deadline. My goal this past weekend was to finish the wing. I fell just short by a couple of lines of white at the top of … Continue reading

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’ve been away from my blog longer than I would have liked. I’m just so busy with work and home life (mom’s knee replacement surgery), that I barely have a chance to get online anymore. While I do manage to find some time, I’ve been quietly stitching away during my evenings working on Remembrance. Also, … Continue reading
I picked up April’s Blue Diamond from the framer, and of course, I’m very pleased with the final piece. April’s Blue Diamond was stitched on Hand-Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie, Storm, 28-ct Jobelan, 2 over 2. Normally, I would list my framing cost here, but I won’t in this case, because it’s a gift. This time … Continue reading
April’s Blue Diamond by Mirabilia (Nora Corbett) The mystery gift reveal is finally here. I’m sure any Mirabilia/Nora Corbett fan figured this one out ages ago. I really don’t think that the person for whom this gift is intended knows about my blog, so I don’t think she’ll see it. Besides, I never mentioned who … Continue reading
