Long Overdue Craft Update
Every year I end up not doing much craft-wise in January, and every year it takes me the entire month to realize it’s because I’m burnt out from doing all sorts of crafts leading up to Christmas. This year was no exception. But I did work on a cross-stitch birth record for Carrie [...]

Snow In August
It’s done.
Done! Finished! One of the oldest cross-stitch projects in my craft room is complete!
Now I just have to get it framed and that’s one less thing on my ever-expanding craft to-do list.
(Oh, and I finished Christmas gift #5 today. I don’t have a complete list of all the things I’m making [...]

Snowmen In July
I can hardly believe it, but look what I just finished last night:
I’m going to guess that I started this snowman cross-stitch in 2000-ish. It was definitely in the 2 year post-wedding/pre-blogging era of my life. In fact, I started it so long ago that it was before the stick-on velcro stuff that [...]

Snowmen in June
I’m still up because I can’t put the snowman cross-stitch down to save my life. (Not even long enough to take an updated picture!) I suppose I should be happy, because at this point I think I might have enough momentum to get through the project before I get distracted by something else. [...]

February Cross-Stitch
I skipped right over November, December and January so I could have one done in time! And let me tell you, I was really tired of looking at the October cross-stitch by the time last night rolled around. But this one turned out cute, I think, and I have the next few months [...]

October Cross-Stitch
Not much to say – this one was pretty cute to stitch, if you don’t count the spiders. Ugh. It’s a sad testament to how terrified of spiders I really am that it made my skin crawl to cross-stitch them. This was ready to be picked up from the framers two weeks [...]

September Cross-Stitch
It’s September 1st, so it’s time for another new cross-stitch! I like this one, except every time I look at it I get the Monty Python song Eric The Half-A-Bee stuck in my head.
And I still can’t believe it’s already September.

Ten Years In The Making
Tonight, I finished a project that has taken me ten years to complete. Honest! This is a relic from my junior year of college. I’ve been slowly chipping away at the mess that I call my craft room, and I found this project only 150 stitches short of being done. Actually, [...]

August Cross-Stitch
Can you believe it’s August already? I can’t. And who would’ve thunk it – another cross-stitch done on-time! And I’ll tell you a secret. Ready? September’s done too!
When I went to drop off September and pick up August – I’ve been getting them stretched and mounted to fit in a [...]

July Cross Stitch
Aha! I finally have one done in time to display for the entire month!
Actually, this is my favorite month so far. I like the muted reds and blues. It’s still patriotic, but it doesn’t scream “I AM A PATRIOTIC CROSS STITCH! LOOK AT ME NOW!” like some patterns I’ve seen.
