I’m spending the week attempting to catch up on things, but still so far behind, and getting more behind. I spent a week stitching these Christmas Floral Embroideries, which was definitely a week well spent, but I let all else slide while I did that. I am so not a multi-tasker. I was trying to

This is one of my designs I did some years ago. I posted it this week on Instagram, and wow what a response I got. The most likes of anything I have posted so far. It’s funny, but sometimes you just really cannot predict what people will react to. Projects that I think are great

The Hare Crewel Embroidery has been a long favorite of mine. It was fun to design and stitch. The motif seemed to fun not to play with some more. Way too fun! So I’ve made a follow up in the series, yes, it will be part of a series, yet to be created, but I

What a busy stitching week it’s been, and it’s not over yet! There is still time to work on more projects before it’s done. This will be the second finish of the week. It almost makes up for last week’s lack of finishes. These colors were truly a pleasure to work with, so warm

I often seem to need some time to re-group after finishing a bigger project like the dragonfly. Most of the time I am too busy stitching to plan out what is next. I did some stitching over Easter on another project I have going, but not much was done. I was taking advantage of the

This is my finish for the week: As you see more crewel embroidery. This has a little bit of spring feeling to it, which is good timing because the weather is improving quickly! I didn’t really plan it, but this to me has a little bit of old time sampler feeling. I like that. I

I’ve been busy working on more wool stitching! My subject this time in an octopus. I wanted a semi-realistic shape so I did a photo search and got a feeling for how the head should be. The tentacles are a bit exaggerated, but I wanted them long so you get the feeling of them floating
