I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

Well, it’s been another crazy week. After the weekend, I’ve spent the entire week running around like crazy. Work’s been busy, more friends moved yesterday (so we took off a little early from work to go help move their furniture), my allergies are acting up, and I’m going to another hockey game […]

Well, I haven’t gotten that much cross stitch done so far this weekend. First, we went to help a friend who just moved into a new house mount his TV on the wall. I brought along Easter Island, thinking I’d get a lot done. Instead, I spend most of the time […]

Oh my goodness, I’m so glad that tomorrow’s Friday. I don’t know what it is, but this week has just felt horrible :neutral: . I’m looking forward to the Christmas ornie SAL this weekend, and lots of stitching!
Here’s an update on Easter Island.

I haven’t been getting much done, due to general […]

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments on my Obstgarten and St. Patrick’s Day finishes! I’m blushing over here ! Also, Kissy recently finished her version of her own Obstgarten, which you can see here. Isn’t it lovely? I can’t wait to get mine framed, too.
I’ve been itching […]

Whoo, finally finished this!

It’s the St. Patrick’s Day Pillow from The Cross Stitcher’s April 2007 issue. I stitched it on 40ct with DMC colors. I dunno what it was, but the rest of that knot border took me forever to stitch. I’m just happy it’s done with! Up next, Easter […]

This week’s SBQ is:
If you had $500 to spend on stitching-related items, what would you buy?
Well, I probably have all the patterns I could use for a lifetime, so I’d probably buy floss and fabric. I already have a complete set of DMC, but sets of WDW, GAST, and Crescent Colours would be […]

The St. Patrick’s Day pillow is almost finished!

Just a little more on the borders. I hoped to finish it today, as I haven’t stitched the SNN for this month yet, but didn’t quite get there. I’ve already got my Easter charts picked out and ready to go!

This week’s SBQ is:
Do you use your needle, a seam ripper, or something else when you have to frog stitches? Why do you use the method that you do?
I’ve always used my needle to frog. I’ve never really thought about using anything else. I guess I figure that since the needle put […]

Oops! I missed an SBQ! Here it is:
Do you find yourself stitching faster when you are getting to the end of a design?
Not really - sometimes I feel like it goes slower towards the end, because I’m anticipating finishing it so much!

Well, here’s my new (very pink) theme. What can I say, I was sick of snow, and really wanted something springy. I pretty much made it from scratch, so any weirdness is all my fault Please let me know at l dot e dot winter at gmail dot […]
