Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
I didn’t expect to see a package from Annette until today at the earliest, but to my surprise when I went onto our mud porch on Sunday afternoon… there she was! It turned out way better than I ever expected, thanks to the seven wonderful women who stitched on her. That last square (and space in the […]
First off – Belinda of Blue Ribbon Designs, who taught my class at Stitcher’s Hideaway a few weeks back, has a gorgeous stitchy giveaway happening on her blog. Absolutely beautiful little sewing companions. So hurry over there and enter to win one! It’s been a wild couple of weeks – lots of get-togethers for birthdays, stitching, […]
For October, I wanted to: 1) Stitch two more ornaments, and finish them and the two stitched pieces I already have. I did not stitch the two pieces I already have. I did complete two new ornaments, though!2) Enjoy the Stitcher’s Hideaway retreat. ABSOLUTELY DID! 3) Finish pds’ piece for the UFO RR Done! 4) Update my supply spreadsheet with […]
Can you believe it’s November already? I’m honestly trying to figure out where the hell this year has gone. I swear autumn lasted like two days. Yes, I know it’s technically still autumn, but once that first killing frost hits and the remaining leaves on our trees fall in one big clump to the grass, […]
I’ll warn in advance… this is going be a long entry with lots of pictures. 🙂 The quick-quick version? I had an absolute blast. Good company, great class, fun shopping, lots of stitching. It was exactly what I wanted (and needed)! I went to Mystic as part of group two. The demand had been large […]
Short, short entry for now – I had an absolute blast. I learned bunch. I finished an ornament in class (yay!), and learned so much. I’m now ready to start tackling ornaments with confidence (and will… starting tomorrow!) I have an obscene amount of new stash to show off and lots of photos to upload, but I’ll […]
It’s been a wild few weeks around here. Mostly good, I think. Although the impending holiday craziness is already starting to creep in, and that has me worried. The really really good news: Both Erich and Matt are working. Erich has found an IT job with a metro-Boston hospital, and so far is enjoying it. He […]
A few days late – but it’s been an interesting couple weeks… For September, I wanted to: For October, I want to: I haven’t had time to stitch this week so far, but I did finish my most recent UFO Round Robin section… this time for my friend Michelle (aka Wench). Here are the before/after […]
I felt like doing a small project this weekend after spending two weeks on Michelle’s UFO piece. This was just what I needed! This is ‘Tis Green by La-D-Da from the Just Cross Stitch Ornament Preview issue. I didn’t feel like dropping the money on expensive overdyed thread, so I went stash-hunting and came up […]
Tomorrow morning’s our Rhode Island Stitcher gathering at the Warwick Library. Erich’s running a game on Saturday out in the garage, which means I have the living room all to myself all day when I get home. Sunday is the beginning of Patriots football. That means – I have an epic amount of stitching time […]
