I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

Today’s SBQ…. and hopefully a more useful post soon….
When you find yourself making a lot of mistakes in various stitching projects do you find it better to muddle your way through or do you take a brief break from stitching? If you do take a break, how long do you take?
If it’s just a […]

Yay! A new SBQ!
How many pieces have you stitched? Out of these, how many have been for you? How many have had specialty stitches or other techniques besides cross stitch?
According to my gallery, I have around 118 finishes. Of these, I’ve given… hmm… 3 to Glenn’s mother, 1 to Glenn’s father, […]

Well, I finished knitting my iPod cozy - it’s a little too big, but that’s ok. I did a little more stitching with the glow in the dark floss tonight, but not much. Hopefully stitching tomorrow will be better

Well, I didn’t get much stitching done today. I have various excuses - I have another certification test tomorrow, a 20 minute presentation due on Thursday, and I finally convinced Glenn to let me decorate for Halloween. I’ve also started knitting another iPod cozy (I can barely knit - just pretty much […]

I got the call from my LNS that the JCS 2006 ornie issue was in. Boy, was that a nice end to this icky week. So, I went to pick it up today. It’s awesome! There’s at least 10 ornaments I’d like to stitch, plus a few recipes I want […]

A long week of brain-numbing training means that by the time I get home, all I want to do is stitch. So, I’ve been neglecting my blog a bit lately.

OK, I swear, less crankiness than yesterday What can I say, after the whole airport fiasco earlier this week, I also caught a cold, and woke up on Friday with a sore throat. For the entire weekend, I think I’ve gotten 8 hrs of sleep. Plus, I’ve been trying to […]

I’m still dithering over the insanely expensive Pompeij Garden, and then I saw the beautiful new cyberclass from Victoria Sampler. Ah well, at least this one is only $60 with all the materials. That’s a bit easier to swing. Hmm, maybe as a reward for passing my next test on Monday […]

Yes, it’s yet another Skeleton Crew update!

Not much done - but then, I was on vacation for almost a week without it. I’ve finished the blue stitching on the waves (there’s some white seafoam I need to add), and I’m almost finished with the second sail on the middle mast.
I think I’m at […]

Yay! I finally finished the August ornie. Here it is - Peace by Charlotte’s Web Needlearts.

I also stitched a little more on Skeleton Crew tonight after finishing the ornie - I’m almost done with the waves and a second sail. I’m looking forward to relaxing this weekend - it’s been an […]
