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

July’s Amethyst Fairy
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

July’s Amethyst Fairy Progress No. 4
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
Stargazer Progress No. 1
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
July’s Amethyst Fairy Progress No. 3
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
July’s Amethyst Fairy Progress No. 2

My mom’s birthday passed. Then another Christmas passed. I had lost my stitching bug. I did try a side project, but I … Continue reading
July’s Amethyst Fairy Progress No. 1
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
Melody (Muse) Progress No. 1
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
April’s Blue Diamond (Updated)
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
