November’s absolutely flown by… between work craziness and school routines switching again, I feel like I’ve missed the entire month in some ways. Somehow I’ve managed to get some good stitching done, including a nearly complete happy dance. Hooray!! So to start – the in-progress piece. This is the Steotchalong 2018, which is a “pay […]
After a long week, sometimes the hardest thing for me to do is to get moving on the weekend. I’ve spent the entire workweek running crazy, multi-tasking so many things at once, that on the weekends my brain just decides to go on strike… and if that means I’m not getting going, well… that’s my […]
This week’s Prompt is: MAIL Okay… had to laugh at this prompt. Of all of the one word prompts for Five Minute Friday, the one about mail… one of my life-long obsessions, is the one that trips me up and puts me behind in keeping up with the 31 Day Challenge. (Fitting, isn’t it) So… […]
Since I was little, I’ve played a careful balance between two things – my natural introvert instincts, and the ability (although exhausting) to be social when needed. I’m able to play the butterfly when I need to. Put me in a writing environment like my blog or penpalling letters? I can go on for days. […]
When I was little, I spent a lot of time looking up at the sky. It wasn’t particularly easy to avoid it – I lived in the Big Sky State. And the sky there was massive – so massive that you could see the curve of the Earth at the horizons, especially when out on […]
It’s a simple little word, “thanks.” It’s not said enough in our society – often due to simply being busy, sometimes because it’s routine things that seem so routine that they defy appreciation, and sometimes because the person who should have said it doesn’t care to do so. It’s become so rare in some circles […]
If you’re looking to check in with your WIPocalypse updates, here’s the correct post. Due to some insanity, I missed my update entirely for April, so my progress is actually two months’ worth of work. I’ve made some good progress on a few different pieces and have finished one WIP. I’m starting to really see some […]
Happy May everyone! Can you believe we’re already on month #5? This year is absolutely flying. I’ve been hearing from several stitchers how they’re making great progress this month, and I’m thrilled that the SAL is working so well for so many people! I’ve had a couple folks ask if I’d be interested in continuing […]
Deep Blue Sea had a bit of an adventure last month. I’d hoped to finish part one completely, but before I could get those other waves done, I had a catastrophe. Or properly spelled, a CAT-astrophe. Notably of the “claiming by cat pee” variety. One of the cats did a drive-by on my stitching bag, […]
To kick off the stitching updates this month… I have a finish! This is Ye Olde Coffee House from Little House Needleworks. I started it last year in late August and finished it on April 20th. It’s stitched in Sullivans threads in lieu of the DMC colors on the pattern on an older piece of […]
