Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
Hello everyone! I hope your stitching is going well! It’s a holiday weekend here – Memorial Day, to remember our military members who sacrificed their lives defending the United States. It’s of course, not really a “happy” holiday, but regardless, I hope that my fellow Americans are having a peaceful holiday weekend. And for those […]
Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! I am reaching you from the past today. As I write this, it’s early on Easter morning. The sun is shining and it’s just a lovely day. But when you read this – I will be nowhere near home. In fact, I’m hoping that I’ll be sitting comfortably in a lounge […]
Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! It’s a lovely spring day here in Rhode Island – the sun is shining, the grass is beginning to green, and we have forsythia flowers and lilac buds starting to reveal themselves. I’ve been in a bit of a stitching slump since I returned from my retreat last month. I just […]
Hello everyone! Apologies for not updating this on Sunday. I returned home from my Stitcher’s Hideaway retreat on Saturday and immediately fell into post-retreat exhaustion for a couple days. I’m definitely out of practice with socializing! Three days of it took everything out of me! I had a great time, though – and the time […]
Greetings everyone from snowy New England! We received about two feet of snow yesterday (approx. 60 cm for those of you not in the U.S.), and it’s a beautiful snowy wonderland outside my window today. As the storm blew through, I spent many hours stitching away and getting progress made on a couple of pieces. […]
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 […]
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 […]
