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’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
In addition to picking up my Gorjuss project from the framer, I also picked up my Caprice project. I was so happy to finally have her framed. I was holding on to this for quite some time before I submitted for framing. Now my Muse wall is complete. I have one more Muse to stitch … Continue reading
Caprice by Nora Corbett (Mirabilia) A finish! I finally have a finish. It’s been a very long time. I guess forgetting my current project at work last weekend was a good thing. It forced me to pick up this WIP and work on the beading, which by the way, took FOREVER! Enjoy the close-ups! On … Continue reading
Fuh, fuh, fuh, FINALLY! I have finally started this project. Sadly, I’ve had too many starts on it. I’m surprised I haven’t given up on it yet. You can read about that here and here. In my last post regarding Dark Wings, I boasted about how I found the best fabric for her. So proud … Continue reading
Wow…has it ever been long between posts! Can you believe I haven’t stitched at all? Well, not until this past weekend. I finally picked up my project after my daughter picked hers up once again. Lots has happened during the time I was gone. A close family member was diagnosed with colon cancer. There were … Continue reading
I picked up both Holly and Poppy at the same time, but I opted to have them featured on separate posts to keep up with the theme of the blog. I’m very happy with Holly’s outcome. In the last progress post for Holly, I mentioned that I noticed an error after I submitted her for … Continue reading
I picked up Poppy from the framer’s about three weeks ago, but I didn’t have a chance to post the final product until now. I kept forgetting to snap a picture of it, but here she is. Enjoy! Poppy was stitched on Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie, Abyss, 32-ct Jobelan, 2 over 2. Total cost … Continue reading
