Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
Hi everyone! Well, the odds finally went against me in early July, and I had my first bout of Covid since all of the insanity started in 2020. I figured it had to happen eventually! Thankfully it was a relatively minor case, and aside from a daily fatigue wall and an off-and-on cough, I’m back […]
Since there are 6 WIPGO projects for July with #13 called (the traditional Bingo “free space”), I have extra entries. This is the last feature for July. There is no finished sample for this piece – Denim Band Sampler was a mystery weekly release sampler from 2022 in 30 parts, starting in January and ending […]
In 2020, I almost missed a special release from With Thy Needle commemorating the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower to Massachusetts. Thankfully I was able to find a copy of it, and although I started it as soon as I received it – getting it done in time for the actual landing […]
Ghost Stories by Witchy Stitcher is one of the projects that was fully kitted in the 2021 Black Needle Society “Trick or Treat” box, along with Baba Yaga from last month. Like with Baba Yaga, the fabric is just deep and rich. I absolutely adore it. I also was fascinated that this is the only […]
Since there are 6 WIPGO projects for July with #13 called (the traditional Bingo “free space”), I have extra entries. This is the first of the extras. The next will be posted in two weeks! Celebration of Needlework in 2018 was a big year for me. That’s when several of my current WIPGO pieces were […]
I define my legacy WIPs as anything that pre-dates Max’s birth. Witchy Washy by Raise the Roof Designs definitely fits into that category. It almost was scrapped due to an accident with iced coffee in 2013. According to my notes, I started Witchy Washy on May 11, 2010. It’s one of the oldest pieces I […]
It’s now July – and this month is the month that #13 was called… so I have SIX… yes, SIX WIPGO projects to work on. Thankfully it’s also a month with a 24 Hours of Cross Stitch Marathon, so I’m not that concerned. I’ll be plugging right along with these through the month. But because […]
I’ve fallen a bit behind on my WIPGO posts, so doing these after the fact in July (oops!). Apologies for that! I’ll be backdating these entries to fit where they’re supposed to go in the sequence. Down the Danube by Jeannette Douglas is a piece that I never was meant to have. It was an […]
Please see the show notes for Episode #57 for my organizing supplies. The Wentzler WIP Parade I mentioned in this episode is Episode #21. Projects shown in this episode (in no particular order… just as I get them back into the basket!) Deep Blue Sea (Mystery XV) – Chatelaine Designs Quaker Hornbooks – Ellen Chester/With […]
Hello everyone! Summer has definitely arrived here in Rhode Island. It’s quite warm and muggy, and we’re in the middle of an unsettled weather pattern where it’s either blazing sun or pouring rain, and not much in between. Max’s last day of school was Friday, so he’s making Big Plans for the summer to fit […]
