Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
Current WIPs Note: Must have been started prior to 2024. Bolded means I have worked on them in 2024. Legacy/UFO Projects Note: These are projects, either started before 2013 or that I’ve adopted from others but have not yet stitched on personally, that are in a holding pattern – especially because I have too many […]
Hi everyone! As I set this check-in post up, it’s the day after Thanksgiving. After cooking for a good portion of yesterday (it all turned out fantastic!), today is a personal puttering day. I’m catching up on some various blog stuff before I settle down with some absent-minded trash TV and stitch the evening away. […]
Hi everyone! After an absolutely beautiful summer-like stretch of weather this past week, it’s now decidedly autumn with a light rain. The leaves started falling in large amounts the past couple days, even though half of the trees are still quite green. It’s an odd autumn here – although the color has been quite pretty. […]
Hugs & Kisses came into my possession kind of a weird way. It was never mine to finish solo, but it’s going to end up being that way. This one has a little bit of a story… In 2009-2011, I, along with a few other stitchers, formed a bi-weekly cross stitching gathering at the Warwick […]
After I finished Witches Wheel last year, I realized I had no Halloween-themed cross stitch going. How on earth did that happen? It’s my favorite holiday of the year! I quickly resolved that issue by joining the Black Needle Society’s #13StitchesofHalloween stitch-a-long last October, tossing several new Halloween charts into the mix. One of the […]
Hi everyone! Autumn arrived here yesterday in wet and windy fashion – it’s barely 60 degrees (16C), and I can feel the cold and damp creeping into the walls of the house. Definitely good huddle under a quilt and stitch the weekend away weather! I’m ready for autumn, though – I love the crisper mornings […]
I am generally not a huge Americana stitcher. I’m hyper-aware that American patriotism has always tended to be a little over the top for many of our foreign friends… and things just have gone into bizarro world in the last decade. It admittedly has deterred me from a lot of projects that I may have […]
Things have been a little crazy here in Measiland in recent weeks, and I misplaced this project, throwing my whole updating mojo into a funk. But it’s been found! So now catching up on some much-needed WIPGO. Backdating some entries to keep them in proper sequence 🙂 – Mel Like everything else in 2020, stitching […]
Witchy Stitcher has offered a spooky mystery stitch-a-long for the past few years. Two things are certain with her designs – 1) the individual pieces are going to be reasonably sized sections (except maybe the border), and 2) you need to have a good supply of DMC 310. Preferably via a cone, which she has […]
Hi everyone! There’s definitely a feeling of impending autumn in the air here in New England. The humidity of summer shut off a couple weeks ago. The leaves are starting to get a lighter tinge to them, and the mornings have had a crispness that I absolutely love. Before that, though, the traditional checklists to […]
