Hi everyone - I'm Melissa, known as Measi online. I'm a married mom of one in her early 50s, owned by several cats, currently living in Rhode Island. I'm a cross-stitcher, journaler, penpaller, bookworm, Pagan, and gamer geek. This is my little corner of the Web.

January Stitching Wrap-Up

February 1, 2023February 2, 2023 1 Comment

The rollercoaster that I’d mentioned in my January 16th post continued through last weekend, and so I’m now behind in updating what’s been going on in my stitchy life. Along with Carol’s passing, we had to say goodbye to the last of our original band of (pre-Max) cats, Noby, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on […]

January 18, 2023January 21, 2023 1 Comment

This week for WIPGO, I’m focused on one of my oldest WIPs – Apache Wedding Blessing, designed by Kooler Designs and published by Janlynn. This piece was chosen by my college friend and sorority sister, Ivanna, upon her wedding. We’re… now almost 20 years later and it’s still not quite done. (sigh) So the goal […]

The past seven days have been a heck of a rollercoaster here in Measi Land. I celebrated my 48th turn around the sun on Wednesday with a wonderfully relaxing day off. Then it quickly turned sad, as one of my Stitching Sisters of New England friends, Carol, passed away early Saturday morning. She was older […]

This year I’m going to do a weekly series to re-introduce the majority of my current projects back onto the blog through a WIPGO post. I’ll be showing the finished photo and the status of it as of the night I post, and a little background on the project. By the end of the year […]

MAGIC 2022 Plans

Melissa
January 24, 2022February 20, 2023 No Comments

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, […]

Weekend Stitching Plans

Melissa
September 10, 2010March 30, 2025 No Comments

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 […]

September 2010 UFO RR – trying to decide what to send

Melissa
August 29, 2010March 30, 2025 No Comments

Another Round Robin has just closed for signups, and now it’s time to start thinking about what I’ll send around. My photos below are about a round out of date… I seem to have misplaced my latest updates on them. But you’ll get the general idea. I had an initial decision to send Walk in […]

Hi, I'm Measi

about
(a/k/a Melissa)

I'm turning 50 in 2025, and exploring this new decade of my life with a refocus on blogging about my life - marriage, parenthood, being owned by cats, Paganism, cross stitching, journaling, books, and letter writing... and probably some other stuff along the way. Nothing monetized here - just old-fashioned personal blogging.
