Well the weather did not agree with our weekend plans but we blustered on (pun intended). Saturday we ran errands to start and planned to put the copper over the diningroom windows but the rain started early. So instead we stuck with just doing windows this weekend. We took out 3 of the 6 livingroom …
Originally planned as a get-a-way stitch weekend with my friend Sarah, we both got busy and never got around to booking anything. Turned out just fine however, we spent Saturday together, mostly stitching and got to meet up with some of our other stitching friends for a few hours as well. Stitching progress on Celtic …
I’ve been continuing to work on Celtic Banner when I have free time and it’s coming right along! I had to take a picture before I scrolled so I could complete the compass. This is my progress as of Sunday night. My goal is to finish the compass before putting this piece down and getting …
Finally a picture of what Sarah and I worked on Saturday. We are both stitching Celtic Banner, using a green color scheme but she’s using pinks for contrast and I’m using just purples, not being a pink fan myself.

It’s that time of year again! I took a class Thursday afternoon called Autumn Gifts which introduced this string art technique.

Well this weekend went by pretty quickly. Since we’re on hold with the insulation we have to keep the livingroom/diningroom empty. This meant my plans to move the tables out of the gym to start crown molding did not happen (no place to put the tables until we can use the diningroom again). However Ryan …
2 weeks in a row now I’ve gotten a little stitching time while over visiting Uncle Mark and Aunt Mo. Autumn in my Garden is coming along. I started this piece a while back. It’s on 40 count fabric and I knew I should use one strand of thread however there are blended colors so …
I’ve gotten a few nights now of working on crafts! It sure has been a while. Wednesday night over at Uncle Mark and Aunt Mo’s I worked on my cross stitch project while Aunt Mo quilted. Then last night I started quilting Mom’s quilt for her. I’m using my own machine and it’s not going …
My tiny bit of sewing for Christmas this year included an ornament for Aunt Mo and finishing up a small ornament that I stitched a few years ago for myself. (Just had to had to add the cording to that one). Also in stitching news, Tuesday I went down to Hoops and Needles with my …
