I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

Well, I finished the Charmed Stocking tonight, and did all I could on the Kats by Kelly piece. I managed to forget the Kreinik braid, and all I’ve got left is a few confetti stitches of that, and voila! I’m done. I’m still working a bit on Glenn’s Christmas present (oops), and […]

While driving by my hometown cross stitch store (which is located, seriously, 5 minutes from my dad’s house), I noticed that they were having an after-Christmas sale, starting today. So in I went, planning to spend $20 as my present from Gram, and I spent… *drumroll* $20.01! *Everything* in the store was […]

Haven’t done too much cross stitching - been shuttling back and forth between four houses. I’d stay in all day tomorrow, except I want to go shopping for the drum-playing singing mouse toys at Kohl’s tomorrow.
As for my Christmas haul, I got a Dimensions Gold Petite kit from Glenn’s mom that I already […]

Well, we’ve arrived at home, after a lovely 5hr drive. I brought a couple of things to work on - the Noel Santa that’s a companion to the angel, the Mill Hill stocking kit, the Kats by Kelly piece, and the Jill Oxton piece that I plan to start on January 1st as […]
