Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
I decided that since I was taking time this year to work on my own pieces that doing some knowledge expansion was probably also a good idea. I’d run across a few blogs that had interesting little doodle samplers, followed the linky trail, and found myself at Pin Tangle, which hosts a perfect little educational stitch-a-long […]
Before I get to my stitching… thank you to all who sent kind words to me on my end of year blog post. I really do appreciate it. I’m hoping 2012 will be much better. *crossing fingers* My first two days of Crazy January are now complete, and I have two projects underway: I know […]
Thanks to a long delay on Amtrak last week, I made a good amount of progress on my oldest UFO – Cats on a Staircase. Everything in blue and the beginning of that cat tail with the hanging thread was completed this month. It’s probably my largest block of solid progress on the piece in, well, years. […]
I took over our bed last night with stash – spread everywhere. WIPs, unopened kits, new charts I want to start. Our king sized bed was PILED. All so I could sort through everything, see what I needed to purchase to get started or to fix my WIPs that had been raided for bobbins for […]
I doubt I’m the only one late this month… I completely blanked on posting this before leaving for my mom’s, and then realized when I was browsing blogs this morning that I’d missed the date! So here’s my final TUSAL jar for 2011. It’s officially full to the rim (only took two years)! This month’s contributions included […]
Erich and I are packing up this morning to head to my mom’s for the weekend. While I celebrate Yule religiously, my celebrations are really based on family traditions more than anything… so I’ll be celebrating Yule via Christmas. It’s honestly all the connection to family in my opinion, and differences in faith should never […]
It’s looking to be a particularly crazy week at work (around the holidays? That never happens to anyone, right?), so I wanted to make a quick post now while I had the chance… The WIPocalypse Basic Info page has been updated – you’ll find links to our forum, to the signup for the reminder message list, and a placeholder […]
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 […]
