Marching By....

Yes, March is moving along quite nicely - already the 20th! And, I'm sad to say I'm a bit sore from shoveling 7 inches of snow out of the driveway just yesterday. But, I have faith, spring begins today and the snow is going to be finished for the year. At least one can hope.

And, as March continues "March-ing" by my stitching progress continues as well. I'm happy to say I did manage to recover from my early month slump and have made some progress on my projects for the month. No finishes yet, but I know I'm getting very close on several items. I think I'll build the suspense and not post the progress pictures on the nearly finished items just yet.

Also, I've been on a bit of a stash building craze. Just insane I know because I already have more projects sitting in the not-started pile than I could ever possibly finish, but I see some of the new patterns coming out and just have to have them. I also made a trip to my local needlework shop just to grab a skein of floss and couldn't pass up a few great little projects from CCN. I'm regretting not taking a picture of my newly acquired stash to share with you, but you'll have to take my word for it - it was so much fun! The shop also had all new samples from local stitchers on the walls which was so nice to see. I just love seeing other folks framed work up close and personal - so much fun!

That's all for today, but I'll be back soon with some finishes to share!

  5. Hi there!
    I felt I had to comment. Just started following your blog this morning, and boy can I ever relate to your stash building CRAZE you mention in this post!! I think some part of my brain thinks I'm secretly a millionaire or something, because I'm constantly scouring the web and finding (and BUYING) more new projects!! It's insane! I have well more than enough than I can ever possibly finish in this lifetime. Ahhh...well, it's fun to dream about one day finishing them all, isn't it? And so much fun to bring home new goodies!! Or in my case, attack the mailman before he can get the package into my mailbox! Ha ha ha.

Have I Forgotten How to Write a Blog Post?

Wow...so five plus years has gone by since my last post. I'm trying to remember how to even find my voice for a blog post. Can you forget how to write a post??? I'm honestly not quite sure where the time has gone although it's been busy with getting my oldest son off to college, my other son just about ready to go to college and my daughter through some skating ups and downs. Not to mention work, house, life in general. Admittedly, these other intrusions caused a lapse in my stitching. For, oh, about 3 years! I managed to get a few months of stitching in last year but it was fairly short-lived. There were a couple finishes in 2017 though.                                                     Little House Needleworks - Music & Books                                                     Started: 7/11/2018                                                     Finished: 10/6/2017 Certainly not my best photography here but I did really like the project. The colors match ou

Some Summer Finishes

Hello Everyone! Ahhh summer.  So many distractions, so little time.  I am still stitching away here in toasty warm Massachusetts, but I've sadly been neglecting all my followers and not updating you on the progress.  What can I say?  Is a picture worth 1000 words? Sorry to say the computer just doesn't make it down to the beach or the pool - sand, water, electronics - bad combination.  But, now that I'm back at my desk I can diligently share with you all the wonderful progress I'm making on my never-ending list of projects. Mill Hill Dragonfly Such a summery little guy.  Although a close up would be better you can kind of get an idea of the excellent teal and lime green colors on this one. Lizzie Kate Green Flip-It Save Water The third one I've finished in the series - I should have bought all 6 patterns!  I think this one goes in the kids bathroom.  Every little reminder I can get in before they jump in the shower for 30 minutes is worth a try.

June at the 1/3rd Mark

So, June 10th has arrived.  I'm officially 1/3 of the way through the month and I think I've got a whopping one post so far. Not really living up to my plans to keep regular updates coming...hmmm.  Seems like a good goal to keep working on.  In that spirit, here's the progress for the month so far.  There are quite a few pictures here so be warned. A few new finishes. Honey Pot (Mill Hill) What can I say?  It just feels like summer to me when I look at this design.  Love the little bee charm as well.  The only challenge was the crazy small gold beads with full cross stitches through them.  I had my doubts as to whether I would finish them - so frustrating sometimes when I can't get that second half of the stitch through the bead. Flip-It June (Lizzie Kate) Yep, another one.  So far that's February, March, April, May and June completed (I missed January so that's a 2014 project). Laundry Wahine Style (Silver Needle) This is the first Secret Ne
