Lizzie Kate "Welcome Friends"

Now that my friend finally has her birthday gift I can post a full photo of it here! I am really proud of this little Lizzie Kate project because it was an experiment in my ability to recreate something from a photo instead of using a real chart. ;)

Back to work

I've gone back to stitching on the Mary Wigham sampler when I can. My hands have been bothering me a bit again this week – too much time using the mouse and trackpad aggravate my CTS just as much as needlework does – so I have to juggle the time I spend with each. But it is fun to see the different Quaker motifs emerging.

A wish fulfilled

"Strawberry Garden" by Blackbird Designs is mine as of 10/22/09 :) With the help of a very kind online acquaintance I was recently able to purchase this beautiful OOP Loose Feathers chart. That my search to secure this design is finally over makes me very happy. :)

Itsy bitsy project

I just completed and framed this small project, but as it is a gift for a friend who sometimes stops by here I could only post a tiny photo hint of the finished snippet. ;) It was a quick and enjoyable stitch, and I hope she will like it.

You'll notice that it has my favorite thing (BEES) in it. :D

A lovely afternoon

Another trip to the Village of the Arts in Bradenton today to see my friend Vicki Rollo's beautiful shop Heart's Desire and to visit some of the stores that have re-opened now that autumn is upon us.

Small newzzz

Started a new small project as a gift for a friend recently. Can't show pictures here because she reads this blog sometimes! :) But it has a beehive in the design, so that makes me very happy.

Life's a Stitch

Finished my tiny pincushion today and it's all wrapped up and ready to go out in the mail tomorrow. :) Hope it gets where it's going in time.

Baby steps

Well, I'm sure that all six of you who read my blog :D will be delighted to know that I am back working on something again. I'm actually only finishing a previously-stitched project as a small pincushion, so nothing major, but hey, that counts, right? It needs to go out in the mail for someone's birthday soon, so I better get crackin'!
