  SAL via Crossed Stitches     This month, I spent 2 days working on Joan Elliott’s 12 Days of Christmas.  They were both weekdays, as the first weekend slipped by too quickly.  Though I have less time to stitch on weekdays, I was happy with my progress.  I finished…

SAL via Crossed Stitches Celtic Christmas was goal No.1- she is finished! Midsummer Night Fairy is Goal No. 2.  Anyway, I worked on Middy in January, but only for 2 days.  I did some cross stitching, touch ups, a little backstitching, and started beading.  This project has a ridiculous number…

So, here is my last new start of crazy January- Air Goddess by Joan Elliott.  My floss toss on “Aerial” belfast by Picture this Plus.  After a week, I was close to finishing the bottom half of the chart (the regular DMC part, anyway).  So I kept it on the scroll…

SAL via Crossed Stitches Finishing Celtic Christmas is Goal No. 1.  So close yet so far!  I spent a few days working on her; finished up the cross stitch, the backstitch and started the beading, from the bottom up.  The beading is extensive and I ran short of MH #557.  I…

I stashed this pattern years ago, since I like the verse (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)… it was a reading at my wedding.  And then last year, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary, so I figured… well it’s about time I stitch something to celebrate our marriage!  My plan is to add an additional section with…
