Many years ago, when I was a student at UT Austin and we had to call in (on phones, no less) to do our registration, the kindly Texan automated voice we called “Tex” would always wish us “goodbye and good luck.” I’m not sure why I think of Tex every time I say goodbye, but I feel there’s no better way to describe what I’m feeling right now! I have been thinking for some time now that it is time ..read more

This project is one from the archives - let's travel way, way back to October 2017 - I had just been happily married and was busy working at a project that ultimately didn't see the light of day. It was a seasonal monogram, stitched on DMC gold flecked cork fabric, with DMC perle cotton. The season was winter, and the letter was "D" simply because I'd stitched A for Spring, B for Summer, and C ..read more

Another fun stitch - I made a few changes to the pattern, one was unintentional - his head was bigger than the one called for. I think it turned out fine, although I had to stitch his hat a bit bigger to compensate. I like the bobblehead look of my finished ornaments. :) All these patterns are available in the Mmmcrafts Etsy store - this is Drummer Drumming. Here's a link to my post for ..read more

This was another fun stitch - I wasn't 100% happy with my colors, but it was a lot of fun to put together.

I adored my swan ornament - one of the first finishes that I was perfectly happy with! I especially liked the two-tone water I did, instead of stitching a waterline. All these patterns are available in the Mmmcrafts Etsy store - this is Swan-a-swimming. Here's a link to my post for details on how I stitched this up ..read more
