I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

I took a break and finished up a small kit I bought at the thrift store. Kinda cheesy, but it’s made to be mounted on a huge curlicue trumpet ornament. It’s absolutely tacky, and I love it! I’ll have to do a scan later.
I’ve decided to stop stressing about finishing the […]

Gah… I thought the point of finishing all my Christmas stitching early was so that I could stitch on stuff without deadlines before Christmas… until, of course, Glenn mentioned that maybe I should stitch something extra for his Dad (I’d intended the Apache Wedding Blessing to be the present, but we gave that to […]

Oops, really behind on this one!
Take a minute to reflect on your blog reading habits and preferences. What do you prefer to read in stitching blogs? (Progress, tips, family life, experiences, etc.) How much do you think you are influenced by other stitching bloggers?
I mainly post about my current progress (I really need to […]

It’s been a quiet Monday. I did some updating on my website yesterday, so there’s a bunch of articles I wrote here.
Thinking of going to the LNS some time this week and picking up the fabric for Samurai. I’ve been promising to do this project for Glenn for almost 2 […]

That’s right, you get a finish *and* a rant all in one day! Aren’t you lucky?
I finished Bent Creek’s Snowman* tonight. It was a really fun stitch. I absolutely loved stitching the snowflakes, and it just stitched up so quick! Details about the changes I made to the chart […]

One of the designer’s message boards I frequent, who is well-known to stitchers for giving away freebies to her fans, recently made the part of her messageboard containing the freebies members-only. It sounds like the problem is that around freebie-time every year, lots of “new people” inundate the boards just to get the […]

I started Bent Creek’s Snowman* last night, and I’m already mostly done with it (it’s a quick stitch!). I’m probably going to make a few changes to the chart, but I’ll talk about that later. After that (which I hope to finish tonight), I want to start the Kats by Kelly […]

Finished this up in about 15mins this morning. Here it is!

I haven’t decided what I’m going to work on next. I think I might start Bent Creek’s Snowman*, since it’s just so cute and looks like it would stitch up pretty quickly. On the other hand, I should really start the […]

Joy to the World is almost done. I have maybe 15 more whole stitches and a bunch of backstitch, and I’m done! The DMC metallics aren’t as bad as I remember, though they still split all the time. They’re a little easier to thread than the Kreinik braid, but the DMC […]

Yup, that’s right, I finally finished it! Once I got past the border bits, this went really quickly. I’m mostly happy with it - just wish I’d done it on a different color fabric, as it’s hard to tell the difference between the half-cross stitches and the shiny whole stitches.

I bought the […]
