Little Oscar – Good Boy/Bad Boy!

May 27, 2023

This morning I was just getting ready to start stitching. Sat down, getting the frame positioned just right, getting the light in the perfect spot, floss ring handy but out of Oscar's reach. Almost read to start stitching and he kept wanting to play. We had already played with his little food "game" where the food is placed under different lids and he has to open the lids to get the food. I can't ...

Progress on For the Love of Nature

May 27, 2023

Yesterday I made really good (for me) progress on this project (For the Love of Nature by Teresa Kogut) Most of the progress was on the big red house. I stitched a bit more last night after taking the picture. I changed the smoke to white lightning, as suggested by a reader and I do believe that color is going to be the answer to a lot of color issues I have with light floss showing up ...

The Next Round of May Madness

May 26, 2023

I think this is the final round but, if it is, that means it ends on the 28th, with three days left in the month so maybe there's another three day competition. I have no idea. I could ask but I'll find out soon enough by waiting. For the next three days, until 9 p.m. central time, I have to make 1400 stitches. That shouldn't be hard. If I can stay home and stitch, I can do it. I've ...

A Changed World Progress

May 25, 2023

We're moving quickly towards the end of May and I can't tell you how happy I am with this five day rotation for new cross stitching projects. I had a bin of about 10 projects to choose from in May. I think in June I'll be working on some of those same projects because I'm so close to finishing them - Winter Rose Manor (not so close to finishing that one but I want to finish it), A Sampler for All ...

The Tindale Sisters

May 25, 2023

The last month or so I haven't been ordering many cross stitching charts. I'm trying to remind myself that except for a few exclusives, any chart I see should be available later if I decide I want it so I've found quite a few that I thought I wanted but then talked myself out of them. That's good! The Tindale Sisters called out to me enough that I ordered the kit from The Wishing Thorn. It ...

Freeze Drying Onions

May 25, 2023

Here's a little brief "Judy version" of how the freeze dryer works. There's a barrel looking stainless "cylinder" and the trays fit into that cylinder. Three trays for the small, four trays for the medium and I think they now have sizes that go up to 7 or 8 trays. The food is placed on those trays. The trays are placed in the slots inside the barrel. The freeze dryer freezes the food, then ...
