Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
Book of Ink Circles, often called “BoINK” on blogs, was a free piece offered by Ink Circles on their website back in 2008. I remember quite a few folks stitching it back then. Folks made some alterations to the corner designs, and there were lots of color changes. Like so many pieces that have a […]
The past month is a bit of a blur for me. The super busy season that I normally have at work in the spring arrived a month early in early March, rather than mid-April, and it took me by surprise. It’s not a bad thing – it means that I should be able to enjoy […]
April numbers have been announced, and a whole new month of projects is on my plate! I have another month of variety to stitch on, which makes me happy. First up is Early Americans by Little House Needleworks, which was released as separate patterns. I am doing the entire 9-part series as a single 9-patch […]
Hello everyone! Apologies for being nearly a week late for this check-in. My family and I were away at a convention last weekend, and I didn’t have the expected connection on Sunday morning at the hotel – which I found odd considering it was a video gaming convention. But anyway… by time we got home […]
My final WIPGO piece for March was started last year on October 5th for the #13StitchesofHalloween Stitch-a-Long (SAL). It had been an individual SAL the year before with mystery releases, but I decided to just collect the charts and stitch on my own time. This piece is a little cutsey for my normal stitching taste, […]
Continuing my March WIPGO pulls… this week brings me to Celestial Medley from Sudberry House. This leaflet has three small celestial patterns, but the only one I’m stitching is the one called Celestial Shaker Box. All three were designed by Donna Vermillion Giampa. This is an older leaflet, from 1997. I adopted this piece alongside […]
Anyone who knows me well, whether in stitching or just in general, knows my love of Dragons and all things fantasy. One of my very first attempted pieces was Teresa Wentzler’s Castle, after all! On the less blended version of dragons of the same era, there were the adorable chubby little dragons by Jennifer Aikman-Smith, […]
What a crazy month! I felt like I was just running crazy all of February and just in a funk. Maybe it was delayed emotion from January’s losses of Carol and Noby, I don’t know. But I just was a big ball of crabby for the better part of the month. I finally took a […]
Four new numbers have been pulled for March – time to introduce another set of WIPGO projects! First up this month is my focus piece for the WIPocalypse for March. I’ll be putting in a minimum of one stitch per day, but ideally a length of floss if I have the time. Sometime back in […]
Hello everyone! I’m finishing up a much needed week’s vacation from work today. The first half of the week was spent at home, split between a bit of housework, a bit of personal self-care/self-interest projects, and battling the latest in a long line of minor head colds. (whee). The latter half I spent away at […]
