It’s been a beautiful few days here in Providence – sunny, low to mid 50s. Any leftover snow is now long-gone, and spring is just starting to creep up through the ground. It’s been nice to leave the hat and scarf at home the last three days. At lunch I don’t even [...]

Where the HECK did February go?!?
(oh yeah… I spent them in front of the TV watching the Olympics and stitching…)
Ready for a long post? I haven’t done one of these in a LONG time. It feels good, actually.
I started this post on March 2nd, by the way, but saved it [...]

Spring peeking
Originally uploaded by measi
Even though the snow is blowing today, I have proof that springtime is, in fact, right around the corner. I found these little pop-ups in the beds of the new parkland that divides Atlantic Avenue.
For those who’ve been to Boston, but not for a few years… this park is where [...]

I’m participating in Stitching Olympics competitions at two separate message boards this month. Unfortunately the attempt on Life’s a Stitch for a stretch of 5×5 square stitching is off to a slower start due to a TON of frogging, but I’ll be bringing that piece into my rotation this week.
Over on The Wagon, however, [...]

I’ve forgotten to take a picture of this over the past two months. But here is my Totally Useless SAL jar. It’s filling up, although there’s a lot of room in the jar… the threads are still sitting with a lot of “loft” between them.

A huge stitching update is coming within the next [...]

The boys are off at BJ’s to do the every-other-month run, and I opted to stay home to get a few things done. The kitchen’s now scrubbed, so I’m taking a few minutes before tackling the bathroom. We have a few people coming over for the Super Bowl tonight. I’m pretty sure [...]

I’m a bit silly-punchy right now due to being on the reception desk all day, so if I really go off on a strange tangent or don’t sound quite sane (for me – be nice), that’s why.
It’s odd to know that there’s a raging snowstorm coming up the East Coast that’s going to absolutely bury [...]

I’m participating in The Wagon’s Rotation Relay for the Stitching Olympics, so my rotation this month is a very odd one for me.
The relay guidelines are to work two hours on each piece, then move on. I’ve decided to include ALL of my current WIPS and UFOs in my rotation for the month, and I’ll [...]

Plymouth Rock – Plymouth, MA Originally uploaded by measi
[Charlie Brown] I got a rock… [/Charlie Brown]
On Saturday, I met up with for a day of S.E.X. (Stash Enhancement eXperience) in Plymouth, Mass (approx. 50 minutes drive from my house). Lots of stitchy stash [...]

Fishing boat on its way out

I’m a bit late starting mine due to some work craziness, but this was a project kalleah suggested. I think I’ll do mine on Friday nights, just to make it a bit easier on myself. Starting next week, I’ll be doing new photos. [...]
