Feeling Scatterbrained

The past 2 weeks I’ve felt like I’ve been trying to do a number of things, but not really finishing much of anything. Last week my son got sick with some stomach virus (the first one for him!). He was only really sick for 1/2 a day and then his energy was mostly back. I [...]

Published in The Gift of Stitching

I have an ornament published in the lastest issue of The Gift of Stitching magazine! The whole issue looks great, and it reminded me that I need to go through those issues as well to add to my ornament list!

New Finish, and Door Prize Winners

 
This was a quick stitch, which was just what I needed. I actually feel ready to get back to stitching some on Fish City, which I think I might do tonight. I’ve got to tidy up my stitching bag first; it gets so cluttered that it often is fuller than it needs to be.

2 Recent Finishes

I finished stitching these two projects recently. The first one, “Merry Mooseness” is a design found in the 2002 Just Cross Stitch Ornament edition, and the second one is “Morning Joy” by Designs by Jodi Evans. I’m now down to one WIP! It probably won’t stay like that for long, especially since I’m already trying [...]

A Small Finish

I finished this a couple of weeks ago. This “Christmas Triptych” by Jacinta Lodge, was a quick stitch, so I did 2 of them. It was a perfect fit for a page in a scrapbook I’m working on. I had told a friend I was going to find a way to include some cross stitch [...]
