I may not get to stitch every morning, but I’m still making good progress. (you can compare to my last update) I’m, halfway on this project now and I have to say there is something very satisfying about highlighting all the symbols on a single page of working copy, a nice little milestone in the […]
Loretta’s Annual Report of Stitching for 2014
At the end of the year I like to look over what I finished, what I started, what I wanted to do versus what I actually did. This year I had some slumps, I had some finishes, and I made some progress. Not as much as I would have liked, but then again I’d always […]
Finished Stitching Blackwork Deer Head
All finished stitching the blackwork version of the deer head silhouettes and really pleased with how it turned out. I’ll be turning it into a throw pillow on my next sewing and finishing day. The fabric is a Silkweaver Solo, 32 count Opalescent Lugana. I stitched the outline in 2 strands of DMC 986 the […]
Almost Done with My Blackwork Deer
I’ve got the outline finished, the antlers are all filled in, just little bit more to stitch. I stitched the outline in 2 strands of DMC and I’m doing the fill work all in 1 strand. [Pattern is available for purchase at Craftsy and Etsy]
Finished Stitching Joker and Harley
This is a WeeLittleStitches pattern from the Pixel People in Love collection. I’ve actually had this pattern for awhile, but I was missing a color so I hadn’t stitched it yet. Found the color I needed, so I pulled the pattern out and got started stitching it up. I was able to finish it this […]

It feels like forever since I had real stitching progress to share here on the blog. I mentioned in the newsletter last week that I was recovering from feeling pretty darn crappy and as part of that I prescribed myself some stitching time daily. I have to say, stitching is good medicine. I put a […]
Loretta’s Annual Report of Stitching for 2013
I think I did more stash shopping than I did stitching this year… oops. I had very little in the finished category this year… I finished my January Snowflake and I finished my Paisley Pumpkin I made some progress on My Token of Love and on Pirate Treasure,
Finished Stitching Paisley Pumpkin!
This was the Paisley Pumpkin beaded cross stitch kit from Mill Hill: I did all the beading this weekend, so it’s a finish! YAY! I had all the stitching done when I put away last Fall, but I didn’t have the space at home to sit down and work on the beading at the time. […]
Designing my own patterns the 500th post!
I thought about designing my own patterns for years. I would go to the nearest shop and find things I liked, but very rarely that I LOVED. I joined the Stitching the Night Away ornament club in January, and I confess I fell in love with the idea of coming up with something new every […]
