Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
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 […]
My goals for April were… My goals for May are… I’m choosing my pieces this month primarily to tie in with the Theme-a-Licious theme for May, which is “May Memories,” a time to focus on class pieces, event pieces, or other pieces with some sort of special meaning. Pocketful of Peppermint and Four Seasons of […]
A quarter of this year has passed already? Yikes, it’s going fast! March was such a whirlwind here that I’m all confused. We’re finally getting around to our St. Patrick’s Day dinner today. Spring flowers are a full month ahead of schedule, and the plants are all confused, so the blooms aren’t anywhere as vibrant […]
Ever regret taking a week of vacation, even though you absolutely needed it? That would be me. The volume of work that was dumped on my desk during my absence in the first week of March has kept me scrambling all month. Any stress release that was gained on vacation, gone and re-replaced with even […]
So… this month flew by. February was to be “Fangirl February,” where we stitched on our favorite designers. I suppose in a way, I did do this with my Wentzler and Ink Circles stitching, although I feel like I didn’t quite do what I wanted to. Yet I really did. Meh, I’m too hard on […]
I had another great month of stitching – lots of different colors this month on several projects. My TUSAL jar has a rather large variety of colors this month, thanks to work on approximately a half-dozen projects (and the inevitable frogging that goes with them). The blues are almost entirely from Deep Blue Sea – […]
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 […]
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 […]
