Continue reading →: Stitching WIP: Emerald Mermaid
I’m stitching her on Cascade belfast linen from Silkweaver (old). This represesents about a month’s worth of effort. The DMC cross stitching is almost complete, except for her upper body and head. A lot of the blank areas are for metallic thread- this pattern calls for 2 spools of Kreinik…

Well, in the past month, I finished my son’s Christmas stocking. Before: Now: While I realize my 10-month-old (at the time) willl not know or care about his stocking, DH & I both have personalized handmade stockings, and it didn’t feel right for the newest family member to be without.…

Last December, I ordered these frames from the pictureframes.com outlet shop, and the acrylic (plexiglass) cut to size from americanframe.com, but in my last trimester of pregnancy, framing was not the highest priority.

This past month, I worked mostly on Oliver’s Christmas stocking. The bottom half of the chart is coming along. Previously: Currently: This is a time consuming project, and though I set Christmas 2015 as my finishing goal, I realized I wouldn’t feel right without Oliver having a personalized stocking for…

It’s Christmas in July, at least in my stitching chair. I started this stocking project for my son Oliver. It’s a hefty project, so I’m not sure I will finish it before his first Christmas, but I doubt he’ll care much either way at 10 months old. It’s a Dimensions…

This past month, I completed two major goals… finished my son’s birth announcement and also sewed his Christening outfit, a little suit and matching bonnet. In addition, I worked on my Xmas By the Letter WIP. The birth announcement from last time: Now, finished! His named is blurred for privacy.…

Pattern: Woodland Babies by Stoney Creek Materials: 34 count cream linen, DMC as charted Size: 6.75″ wide x 9.75″ tall Time to stitch: 3 months I’m super happy to have this finished before my son reached 4 months old! For such a small project, it sure does involve a lot…

Better late than never, eh? Just about all my crafting time in the past month went towards Ollie’s birth sampler. Before: Now: As you can see, the cross stitching is mostly complete. (There is still a bit missing on the upper red flower on the right side). Then, the backstitching…

The only cross stitch project that saw any action this month was my son’s birth sampler. Last time: Now: As you can see, I finished the bottom right quadrant, and continued. The tree (heart of the forest, as I think of it) is nearly finished, and I’ve stitched the chipmunk…
