I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

I’ve finished up Glenn’s bookmark!

This was nice, quick, fun & easy! I enjoy designing small pieces like this. Now.. back to stitching something a little bigger.
Oh, did I mention that while looking for a snowflake charm for Winter’s Charms, I found Mai? Hopefully, after I finish this week’s installment of Stitching […]

Here’s my quickie finish. I started it last night while watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and finished it up this morning after breakfast.

It’s a freebie from Valentine Stitchery called Winter’s Charms. There’s supposed to be a snowflake charm in the middle, but I don’t have one yet. A quick trip to […]

Well, the new part for Stitching in the Garden is up. This week we’re finishing up the upper bands in the sampler, and doing the plantation house! I love the willow tree - we had one in my yard when I was little, and I always loved how it cascaded over the […]

Late… as usual.. on the SBQ this week.
Have you had a happy dance yet this year? If so, tell us about it! (Or just point to the entry that talks about it.) If not, when do you predict it will be?
Yup, Galaga and the Kats by Kelly piece. I hope to finish up […]

And no.. that doesn’t mean that I’ve found Mai.
I’ve been keeping my floss in plastic card protectors (normally used for trading cards) in binders. This was fine for a while when I didn’t have much floss - everything fit in one binder. Then I had to use two binders. Then three. […]

Still stitching on Terre de France - it’s a nice break since it’s so simple. I’ve finished the second part, and I’m on to the third and last part of the title section. After that, I think I’ll get back to my challenge piece.

I worked mostly on Terre de France tonight and last night, as 24 is back on now It’s easier to concentrate on a simple, single color pattern that the giant linen mess that is The Kiss. So far, I’ve finished up part one (my goal for the month! yay!), and […]

Your Birthdate: June 22

You have a hidden force to do amazing things, doing them your own way.
People may see you as strange and shy, but they know little.
Your unconventional ways have more power than they (and even you) know.
Your strength: Standing up for what you know is true
Your […]

Here’s a scan (finally!) of the Galaga piece that was my first finish of the year.

I just finished the first part of Victoria Sampler’s Stitching in the Garden. I actually did a bit more - the band of flowers that’s even with my name wasn’t supposed to be done yet, but I just […]

No SBQ this week, so one of the cross stitch LJ communities is doing the old Jan 2005 SBQ.
After you stitch a pattern or kit, what do you do with it? (this question refers to the pattern and leftover materials)
I like to trade them to other people. Some people don’t want […]
