I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

When I went to the State Fair on Saturday, I brought along my camera to take pictures of all of this year’s entrants. I joked to Glenn that I was doing recon work for next year, when I plan to enter one of my pieces. Anyway, here’s a sample pic of the […]

Back to working on Skeleton Crew. I’m *this* close to finishing another of the sails - I’ve been stitching mostly with that annoying light effects, which seems pretty nice after dealing with that annoying onyx floss.
I went to the State Fair on Saturday and got pictures of most of the cross stitch […]

Phew, finally finished it! The Trilogy’s Frightfully Fun is done!

It really was a quick stitch, too - the only reason it’s taken me a few weeks is because I’ve been so busy with work since the trip. I finished most of the rest of this on the way to the […]

This week’s SBQ:
Which way do you stitch, i.e. do you stitch /// followed by \\\ on top, or the other way around \\\ followed by ///? Are you left- or right-handed and do you think that this affects the way that you stitch?
I stitch /// followed by \\\. I’m right-handed, and I don’t […]

I’m jumping on the bandwagon. I’m going to attempt to finish 10 projects before I buy another single piece of stash!
The Rules:
1. Have fun reducing your stash.
2. There is no time limit- people have different size projects they would like to work on.
3. Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 10 projects […]

Oof, a long day at work (I left at 8pm) leaves no time for cross stitch, or much else, for that matter. I’m thinking of taking part in one of the project challenges - probably 10 - but I’m trying to decide if there’s anything I need to buy before I commit. […]

I have been tagged by Deb. The rules; List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether or not they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. […]

…but I am closer. I guess I’ll just keep working on this until I finish it, and then go back to Skeleton Crew for the rest of the month. There’s only two presents I *need* to do for Christmas - I’m drastically cutting down the gifts this year, especially since it doesn’t […]

Yup, I still haven’t picked up Skeleton Crew again. I guess it’s because I’ve convinced myself I can finish this project by tomorrow night.

Hmm, I still need to fill in most of the letters and the pumpkin, plus I need to stitch the three cats and some of the stars. Plus there’s […]

This week’s SBQ:
As we all know, stitching in the winter can really be rough on the hands. What do you do to treat your hands well in the cold winter months? Do you have any suggestions for creams or soaps? Or perhaps a special regimen that you would like to share?
Um, well, I don’t […]
