Not so much stitching in February. Everyone was sick, there were fevers and flu bugs and just … ugh, so glad it’s March. Stitching progress was made on: Mill Hill Azul Calavera View this post on Instagram A post shared by Loretta Oliver (@retta719) Neglected Threads SAL January Biscornu (finished stitching!)

Neglected Floss SAL Biscornus
January Pattern I figured since we’re using neglected threads, I might as well use some neglected fabric too. I pulled this opalescent Silkweaver fabric from my stash to stitch this month’s pattern. The threads are leftovers that were missing their labels. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Loretta Oliver (@retta719) View this […]
Stitching & Stash Acquisition for January
January started off so well, I was stitching every day and I was enjoying it, things were running along smoothly. I had started a new medication over the holiday break and I was seeing some improvement. Then my health insurance said they wouldn’t cover it. We appealed the decision and got rejected yet again. So […]
April Stitching and Stash Acquisition
A quick look at everything I worked on in April…. I actually didn’t Instagram or do progress pics on anything all month, so I just grabbed what was out and took photos just now while I was writing this. I was in such a rhythm at the beginning of the year – stitch, photo, blog […]
March Stitching and Stash Acquisition
So after some really nice progress in January and February, March was kind of a dud. I did very little stitching and I didn’t even get the newsletter out here during the month. The only thing I stitched on was the Rainbow SAL and I didn’t even finish the March medallion, just the outline parts. […]

January Stitching and Stash Acquisition
A quick look at everything I stitched on in January… The first week and a half I didn’t get any stitching done really, but by the middle of the month I was back to stitching every day again, even if it was in 15 and 20 minute chunks some days.
Framed and Gifted Lace Heart Wedding Sampler
So I’m a horrible friend in general. I forget things, a lot, frequently, and all the time. If you look closely you’ll see the date on the piece is April of 2010. My husband became very ill that month and we missed the wedding. With so many things going on, I set the piece aside […]
Finished Stitching Capricorn Zodiac Block
I’ve finally gotten back to my morning stitching routine. After everyone leaves in the morning I get my second cup of coffee, turn on Netflix, and do a little stitching before I go to work (which since I work from home is just walking to the office from the living room LOL). I’ve had a […]
