Update & My Stitchy Ramblings 100-Follower Giveaway

It seems like ages since I've posted.  My stitch progress has truly been awful lately.  Just so many things going on.  My daughter skated in her first competition last weekend and came in 1st! YAY!  I just love watching her have fun with the sport.  And my dear sons have been busy as well - St. Patrick's Day parade marching, chorus concerts, camping trips.  It's never dull in our house.

So, all this is to say, I do have an excuse (albeit not a great one) for my lack of progress.  I did manage to get started on a couple of projects this month at least.

I love the colors on this and can't wait to get it up in the kitchen for summer.  Hopefully I'll be finished by the end of the month and I can take some time to frame it appropriately.

This one is so quick I know this can get done.  And, I have a couple of charts kitted up and ready to go in honor of St. Patrick's Day this weekend.  Whether they are finished this month...well, let's just hope.

Also, if you haven't already, check out the 100-Follower Giveaway over at My Stitchy Ramblings.  There are some great prizes as well as an awesome TUSAL update picture.

Speaking of which, a bit late, but here's my March ort report.


I'm not convinced there's much beyond what was in there last month given how little stitching occurred between the end of February and the start of this month.  But, it's on record for April.  I'm 100% certain there will be more to show next month.

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.

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                                   ...

Wrapping Up May and Kicking Off June

Hello fellow stitchers! I hope you all had a great weekend.  It was toasty warm here in MA this past weekend.  Since I refuse to turn the A/C on in the house before July (it is New England after all), it was a whopping 90 degrees in our house on Saturday.  Quite warm. But, we are back to 70 degrees, overcast skies and some rain today.  In all seriousness, it was a great weekend to be outside sitting at the pool and the kids had a blast swimming this early in the season.  We were also busy with some other activities including my daughter's bridging ceremony for Girl Scouts up to Juniors.  I can't believe she'll be in 4th grade next year! Yikes!  All this is by way of explanation for the lateness of my May wrap-up post.  So I'm combining the wrap-up with a kick-off for June. In stitching news, May was in fact the biggest month for finishes this year for me.  Eleven in total!  Yay!!!  So, for the year the record looks like: January...
