Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
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, […]
Blessed Samhain, fellow Pagan friends. 🙂 May the new year bring blessings to you and yours.
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 […]
General stuff first. For August, I wanted to: 1) Finish Garden Sampler I’m so flippin’ close on this. I’m guessing I have 5-10 hours left at most. It’s in my commuting bag, and I’ve been working on it every evening on the train. By Labor Day, oh yes… this will be done!2) Finish my hours on […]
I just finished this under an hour ago. This is one of three Garden Samplers from the Prairie Schooler (“Book #45″). This piece was started by Erich’s mom at some point. I found it among her knitting supplies a couple years ago as we were sorting her belongings after she’d passed away in 2007. It’s […]
