I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

Well, it’s almost 2007. Tomorrow I’ll post about my goals for next year, but I figured I’d give one last look at Sleeping Cat for this year. I bet you can guess what I’m doing tonight, huh? Nothing more interesting than sitting home and stitching while watching the extended edition of […]

In case you didn’t know, there’s a big Almost New Year’s Eve sale going on tomorrow at the Silver Needle. From 6am - 7am CST, everything’s 25% off! I’ll be buying Mirabilia’s Christmas Tree 2006 and fabby, since I just can’t resist! It’s definitely a good time to spend your Christmas […]

If you’re still in the Christmas mood, there’s a lovely eggnog freebie at Casey Buonaugurio’s site. After spending a few minutes looking over her designs (and realizing how many of them I’ve bought and haven’t stitched yet!), I came up with a list of a few things I’d love to see Casey sampler-ize.

This was a seven-week SAL on the San-Man Originals message board that ended on Christmas Day. Well, I’ve been stitching on it every free moment since, and here it is!

The scan’s pretty crooked - sorry about that! Plus, the fabby color is off - it’s an antique green. I used the […]

Yay! My blog is back! For three days, we’ve been having intermittent DNS problems (the part of the internet that allows you to type in an address, like www.google.com, to reach a web page). The two free DNS servers have been out, so we finally ended up paying $11 for another […]

A while ago I participated in a biscornu exchange over at the LJ community xstitchexchange. First off, here’s the biscornu I stitched for hinj.

And then… here’s the biscornu drealkulit sent to me.

What can I say? Great minds think alike I absolutely love it, and it now sits proudly on […]

Urgh, I love Christmas, but hate all the hustle and bustle that goes with it! I promise to be a much better blogger after the holidays. So far, I’ve finished a small ornament, and I’ve also received my biscornu exchange, so I have pictures of those to post. Plus, I’m behind […]

So, I kinda broke my no-stash challenge. See, I had to buy some fabric for Glenn’s Christmas present and for the baby sampler. It just so happened that my LNS had a big sale going on - 40% off pre-cut pieces of fabric, plus anywhere from 40-75% off a lot of […]

I’ve been stitching away on Sleeping Cat for the past couple nights…

So, you can definitely tell it’s a cat now. Plus, the mantel clock looks more clock-ish. The red stuff on the bottom left is holly, while the stuff on the top right is a poinsettia. The yellow line to the […]

This week’s SBQ:

How do you secure your thread when you begin a new one? Specifically, do you or have you ever used a waste knot?
I don’t think I’ve ever used a waste knot. Usually I just try to work the ends under as I stitch.
