Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
As promised in my entry yesterday – here’s how my finish of Plenty by Hands on Design turned out. The up-close stitchy finish looked like this, complete with a couple stray cat hairs because… it’s my house: I decided to finish mine as a flat ornament using sturdy cardboard for my background. I each cardboard […]
To kick off the stitching updates this month… I have a finish! This is Ye Olde Coffee House from Little House Needleworks. I started it last year in late August and finished it on April 20th. It’s stitched in Sullivans threads in lieu of the DMC colors on the pattern on an older piece of […]
Apparently the posts I thought I had saved to publish while I was away not only didn’t publish, but I somehow didn’t save them. Boo. So much for the blogging every day this month thing. (Ah well.) Good news: my laptop is fixed! Apparently it was the video card. The good news was that said […]
Early in January, I learned that I was the next stop for the current Lizzie*Kate traveling pattern. I’ve seen quite a few stops of Stitcherhood projects on blogs, and was thrilled that I finally had the opportunity be part of one.

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 […]
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 […]
