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.

Patriotic Poppies! I've been holding onto this pattern for... Continue reading

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!

Be Ye Thankful | Cross Stitch

Hello friends! It's finally warming up to feel more like summer, and I'm loving every second. The past two weeks I've taken a break from Christmas stitching (my favorite kind of stitching, no matter the time of year), and worked on CE Cricket "Be Ye Thankful". I was feeling the... Continue reading

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!

Summer just kinda lends itself to patriotic stitching, doesn't it? The summer holidays honoring our veterans, those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, and those who volunteer to continue to protect us and the freedoms we have help keep us in that patriotic mood. At least for me... Continue reading
