Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
Last year I joined the Tudor Rose Sampler Guild (abbreviated TRSG going forward) to participate in an online class for Amy Mitten’s Mute But Not Silent project. The class was great – a blend of new-to-me stitches (cut work!!!) and some history about Dutch samplers. I’d also been curious about joining a formal stitching guild, […]
Last year I stumbled upon an interesting stitch-a-long called WIPGO, which was themed as a year-long Bingo game. It was created by Jessie Marie on her FlossTube, “Jessie Marie Does Stuff.” Draw a 5×5 Bingo board, number the squares right to left, 1-25. Leave the center square (#13) as a free space, and then fill […]
Hi everyone… So this weekend was a bit of an oops on my part. I had the initial kick-off post up on the blog and then went to do some cleaning up of the rest of my website, fix the SSL issue (grumble… still not fixed), and then… I deleted my entire blog. All 20 […]
Earlier today I was attempting to update my SSL certificate, and started messing around with other things – and then I deleted the SQL that held all 20 years of blog entries on my blog. (sigh). The good news is that I do have a backup of it – somewhere. The bad news is that […]
This will be a Stitch-a-Long (SAL) for fun, not a contest. Everyone stitches at a different pace, on different sized projects, with different goals and concepts of accomplishment, so a standard set of one-size-fits-all rules simply won’t work. So whether you’re a one-at-a-time stitcher or an insane rotationer like me, gather up the UFOs and WIPs […]
Hi everyone! It’s been an absolutely beautiful early autumn weekend here in Rhode Island – comfortable, low-humidity temperatures with a mix of sun and clouds and a gentle breeze. The leaves are just starting to turn color now, but nowhere near the gorgeous peak color that you see in travel photos. Most things are still very, very […]
’m making a list of books that I’ve been wanting to read – partially to pull them out of Goodreads, partially for an exchange I’m going to be part of themed to Iceland’s wonderful holiday tradition of Jolabokaflod. I’m always up for other suggestions, too. I read a little bit of everything, although this list […]
Taking a little time during my lunch break to catch up on some general writing, blogging, mini-project updates. I hope if you’re reading this that you’re doing well, and that your loved ones are doing well too. Things here are pretty good. We have a few friends we’re worried about, who are dealing with positive […]
Happy Leap Day everyone! I’m dealing with an obnoxiously slow webhost connection today. It’s definitely not a problem on my end… other websites are loading just fine. (sigh) So if things aren’t loading well, I do apologize. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. I hope you had a good month of stitching. Are you spending any […]
Hi everyone! Another month is gone, and the changing of the seasons is in full display here in New England. Peak autumn color has now passed for most of the trees, but there’s still some beautiful oranges and reds popping through the fading leaves. I honestly love this time of year. I think it’s the […]
