Two finishes!

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

I finished up the baby bib last night, in plenty of time for the baby shower on Saturday!

After that, I wanted to work on something small, so I found this little kit. The colors are a little weird, but it’s still cute.

I still have to figure out some way of covering the […]

SBQ: ‘Tis the Season

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

This week’s SBQ:
Do you stitch Christmas ornaments? If so, how many do you stitch each year and for whom? If not, why not?
I do - though I haven’t finished many of them - just the ones that came with plastic hangers Since I haven’t really finished any of them yet, I stitch […]

Another present

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

This isn’t the Christmas project, but it is another new start. One of my co-workers is having a baby shower on Saturday, so I’m stitching a baby bib for her. I just started it this afternoon, and I’m already mostly finished

Hopefully I can finish this up tomorrow night so that I […]

SBQ: About Floss

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

A few weeks ago’s SBQ:
How many different brands of “complete” embroidery floss sets do you own? How do you keep track of it? (i.e., spread sheet program, index cards, palm pilot, etc.)
Well, I have all the regular DMC colors, and quite a few of the color variations, light effects, and such. I’m currently […]

New finish!

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

So, what have I been up to? Well, on Saturday I waited in line for 12 hours for the new Nintendo Wii (yeah, I have no life). So, I got a lot of stitching done! I pretty much started and finished up Peaches by Little House Needleworks. All I had […]

Long time, no see

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Well, let’s just say the past few weeks have been very busy at work. I’ve just been too stressed out after work to do much besides just relax - I haven’t even felt like stitching much! Because of this, I’m probably going to forget about stitching most of the Christmas presents - […]

I ran out and got that Kreinik after work, so now I’m pretty much done with the stitching on the biscornu - I’m planning on finishing it up tomorrow, and then I’ll send it on its way! I didn’t work on anything else today, though.

..this close!

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

I was this close to finishing up the cross stitching portion of the biscornu, when I ran out of Kreinik braid. Oh well, guess I’ll have to wait to finish that up until I can go to a craft store. In the meantime, here’s my first hour or two of work on […]

Super Secret Projects

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

I’ve been working on my biscornu exchange piece lately, so I, of course, can’t show any pictures of that yet. I’ve finished all the cross stitching. All I have left is a little backstitching and the actual finishing of the piece before I can mail it out. Glenn really likes the […]

October / November Goals

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

It’s that time again! I can’t believe it’s November - it was 70F yesterday!
My goals for October were:
- Continue working on Skeleton Crew (yup!)
- Finish Chartswappers ornie of the month - and last month’s, too! (no)
- Start a Christmas present / project (no)
Well, kinda abysmal. Honestly, I’ve been working so hard on […]
