Jacki's Profile

Hello fall! I honestly wasn't sure the temperatures would ever cool off. While I welcome the warmth of summer, I am grateful the temps finally dipped below 90 degrees. I'm tired of sweating all the time. I don't know how Texans do it. Plus, I have new boots for fall... Continue reading

Grace On Thee | Cross Stitch

I've been on a patriotic kick this year, and instantly fell in love with this Dyeing To Stitch club piece from Plum Street Samplers. The house was a bear to stitch, and I'm still going through and filling in the white mortar between the bricks, but at least the house... Continue reading

Snow Queen | Cross Stitch

Holy Heatwave, Batman. Did you guys cool off yet? Good Lord it was hot this weekend. I like summer, but not when you could legit cut the humidity with a carving knife. It's too much. I was dehydrated yesterday morning at 7am, and all I did was sleep. All of... Continue reading

Thanks, Dawn! The ravens' eyes are the black beads that are represented by the circle symbol. I wasn't sure I liked it when I stitched the beads on...so I actually ended up leaving the beads out.

Tidings of Great Joy | Cross Stitch

Welcome fall! I feel like yesterday it was March and I was losing my mind at work, and next Thursday it's Thanksgiving already. This Thursday, they're calling for snow in the forecast. I say no thank you and good day. Snow is inappropriate for this time of year. I better... Continue reading

Hi Robin! Thank you! This was so fun to stitch. I feel like I say that about so many pieces that I do, but this one really was. I agree - I want the whole alphabet! Thank you for the suggestion about the Best Press. I may have to grab some of that and give it a try! Have a great week!

Hi Marie! I absolutely love your DD albums every year, and I had the same anxiety about three-four years ago that got me off the "document every single day" track. I document the entire Christmas season and New Year's, not just the 25 days. For my family, the Christmas season starts the day after Christmas with a trip to downtown Philly for the light show at the old Wanamaker's building. That's still in November, so when I decided I wanted to capture all of it, that's when I moved off of the 25 days and just documented everything as it came. I can't wait to see your album! I love the things you've put together so far. I'm hoping to get some new Christmas-themed embellishments and journal cards to spruce things up a bit this year, plus use up some of my stash.

Hi, Charlene!! I'm so glad you found my blog :-) I feel your pain! I really, really do! I recently was able to start a new block after re-stitching one of the two blocks that were wrong, so I plan to get an update out to you all soon!

Robin!! I cant' believe i missed this comment! As soon as I saw that you said that the final Christmas Quaker piece came out, I dropped everything and ran to my LNS and snagged one. It's in my (ever-growing) to-do pile!! Hope you're having a great weekend!
