Always stitching

I haven’t posted much over the summer…about once a month.  I’ve certainly been stitching though.  I’ve finished 3 Christmas presents and started a fourth.   I did a little blackwork design of a lobster.  I printed a picture of a lobster and used graph paper to get the basic outlines going.  I have PCStitch so I [...]

A heart and a garden

I’m busy at work and on the computer all day.  I haven’t felt like using the computer when I get home.  I have a couple of pictures of the things that I’ve been working on though.

What the BoInk am I up to?

I’ve gotten two of the three parts stitched.  I am going to stitch the border as I go to make sure I don’t count wrong.  Here is my progress so far:

I came [...]

Christmas Mystery V

Heirloom Christmas Sampler Update..among other things

I’ve signed up for Christmas Mystery V and have ordered both the kit (threads, metallics and beads) from European Crosstitch Company and the fabric from Silkweaver.  

Hopefully the threads and fabric work.  The down side of it is that the threads won’t get here until later in January.  Oh well, something the look forward to.

Line ‘em up and knock ‘em down?

Last night we had our monthly meeting.  The programme was a small casalguidi flower with a stem and leaf teaching three basic stitches.  I [...]
