Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
Just a heads up if you’re trying to reach me – my MacBook decided it wanted to throw me for a loop, and for some reason it won’t reboot. Since I have cash tied up in other commitments, I’m sharing a computer with my husband for a few weeks until I can get it fixed. So […]
Hi to everyone popping on for WIPocalypse browsing! If you read me often, the first half of this post is likely stuff you’ve seen before. It’s been a good month since my last update. I gave up on Crazy January (and don’t plan on ever attempting it again). I returned instead to a few pieces […]
The winner of the drawing is… Annette! Congrats, m’dear! I mailed it off to you on Monday, so you should be receiving it by the end of the week. Thanks to everyone who joined. I may have to start one of these myself one of these days. I’ll be putting my own WIPocalypse post up […]
Since today’s the last day of January, it’s time to recap my progress for Theme-a-licious’s January “Jardin January” theme. I didn’t get anything done beyond what I did last week for IHSW, but still… I made good progress on Floral Bellpull. I’m happy, although the backstitching is still looming at me. But hey, it’s a Wentzler […]
Early in January, I learned that I was the next stop for the current Lizzie*Kate traveling pattern. I’ve seen quite a few stops of Stitcherhood projects on blogs, and was thrilled that I finally had the opportunity be part of one. I’ve just finished my version today in a mix of DMC and Sullivans threads. […]
Over the holidays, I was contacted by Yiota, the owner of Yiota’s Cross Stitch Kits, and was asked if I’d be interested in reviewing one of her cross stitch kits. With the world of online stitch stores increasing as the local shops seem to be decreasing, I can’t blame her for wanting to get the word out. […]
It’s the new moon – and it’s the first of the year, so it’s time to empty the jar and start fresh for the Totally Useless Stitch-a-Long. I’d been filling my jar for two years, so to see it this empty is a bit… weird. My orts from the last two years have been put into a […]
This weekend is International Hermit and Stitch Weekend! Grab a project (or two… or four), curl up, get some stitching done, and share with the world. It’s kind of like WIPocalypse, but much shorter and even more freeform. 🙂 BUT WAIT – It’s also Jardin January for Theme-a-licious, which means that my selection for this […]
I have two weeks of Take a Stitch Tuesday updates to show. Last week’s stitch was the Buttonhole Stitch, and this week’s was Feather Stitch. Both are related, but I like how they look side by side where you can see the slight difference in technique. I confess – I did NOT do well with […]
For some reason, life has been absolutely non-stop since about mid-November. I’m thankful I haven’t had any five-day work weeks since Christmas week because honestly, I desperately need the longer weekends right now purely for recovery. This week was no different in the insanity, although it took a different twist. Erich’s job was transferred to […]
