I Will Build Myself a Farm

June 3, 2023

It all started a week or so ago when a blog reader, Dot, asked me some questions about a kit I had purchased that had Ginnie Thompson Flower floss. Dot had used Danish flower floss on projects in the past and she went on to tell me about a kit she had purchased through Women's Day magazine in the mid-60's. She sent me a link to a used kit on ebay and I was immediately in love with it. It arrived ...

Noble Birdseed Banquet

June 3, 2023

The first five days of June, I'm working on Noble Birdseed Banquet by Artful Offerings. Here's where I left off on Thursday: This was my goal for Friday: My plan for today is to finish the crown, stitch the heart beneath the crown, then get started on one of the birds. Here's where I stopped last night: The colors are much brighter than in the photo. I did finish the crown, ...

The Planters Are Moved

June 2, 2023

Thursday Errands But No Stitching

June 1, 2023

Today has been so busy. Yesterday was so busy. Vince and I were talking today and I told him I think what makes me so tired is when I have 5 minutes to sit, then do something else and 5 minutes to sit and that goes on all day. I need big chunks of time . . like an hour to sit and maybe do some stitching or reading but sitting, knowing I have to be back up and going again in a few minutes but no ...

Elan Lapstand

June 1, 2023

The last thing I needed was a new stitching stand. At the rate I'm going, I'm going to have to ask Vince if I can start putting stuff in his shop! :) A couple of days ago, I was watching this flosstube by Handwork Maniac. She uses the Elan Lapstand and it looks like it's exactly what I've been thinking I needed but didn't know it existed. Below I will compare and contrast and try to explain ...
