Obligation Stitching

Friday, March 31st, 2006

Alrighty, here’s a little run down on all the people I need to stitch stuff for, in order of the soonest deadline.
1) Baby sampler for my favorite professor (she’s having her baby on Thursday). I’ll probably do Lizzie*Kate’s Bless the Baby again. It’s a very quick stitch, and I think I […]

New Easter Start

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

I bought a kit at the craft thrift store last time I was there. It’s an Aidaworks Easter kit (on bright pink Aida!), and it uses all different kinds of unusual floss. I’ve been working on this today, so hopefully I’ll have it done soon. I’m really looking forward to starting […]

In between

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

Not terribly much going on - I’m still trying to decide what project to work on next. I have *several* WIPs that I can finish - the little tumblin’ bunnies, Nemo fish, the Asian characters… I’ve been working a little on Nemo, so hopefully I’ll get him finished and out of the […]

Video Game addiction

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

I am 73% Video Game Addict.
Video games are a big portion of my life, maybe too big of a portion. They are not a means of social interaction, despite what I might think. I should just go outside.

SBQ

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Woohoo… really late this week!
Have you ever participated in a needlework mystery (i.e., a design that you started before knowing how it will look in the end and by which you receive parts of the design via the internet, magazines, or leaflets at spaced intervals)? If so, why did you decide to do the […]

Ornie Finish

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

I finished Victoria Sampler’s Humour is a Virtue ornament from the JCS 2005 ornie issue. I thought about changing the Canadian spelling to an American one, but decided this had more character This was a fun, quick stitch. I didn’t use most of the suggested fibers - I used DMC […]

Stitching Saturday

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Well, I had lots of fun today - went to the LNS and the craft thrift store, and got a whole bunch of stuff so I could start the ornament (and a couple of new Easter patterns, but Shhh! don’t tell anybody). I did start it - just a few stitches of […]

Strawberries Finished!

Friday, March 24th, 2006

Here it is, all finished!

While I was at Jo-ann’s the other day, I went looking for a frame for it, and would you believe, I found the exact frame they used in the magazine on sale for $5. Talk about luck, huh? Well, on to the Victoria Sampler “Humour is a Virtue” […]

Strawberries Day 4

Well, no pic today, because it’s only a little way from done. Hopefully, I’ll finish it up tomorrow morning!

Third Day’s Work

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Well, here’s day 3! I got a *lot* done today. My goal was to finish the white medallions on the side (I’m trying to work from the top down).

My goal for tomorrow is to finish up the two bands - the backstitch strawberries and the creamy hearts.
