This week’s SBQ over at Stitched with Love and Cat Hair is the following: If you had to choose, would you rather spend money on overdyed floss or hand-dyed fabric? I am a member of the Limited Edition Fabric Club and the Dragonfloss club at Polstitches. I find that I mostly stitch after charts in [...]

Seeing how bloody slow somewhat moderately fast my stitching is at times, I’ve ordered Christmas stuff today. Last year I started in October and everything just went veeery stressful in the end. So I bought these things, thought it would be nice to make something other than cards: Â I bought five to give to All [...]

What have I been doing today, you ask? (Or not, but it’s too late now!) I updated my Wishlist. Now when you click on the tab up there that says Wishlist, it will take you to my personal save-up-list. Of course, every time I think I’m finished I think of five other thing to put [...]

It’s done on hand-dyed fabric from Polstitches, with Dragon Floss and Carrie’s Creations. 28c linen, one over one (yes, I think I’m officially insane.) The exchange is [...]

Okay, so all week I have been raving at people, “Guess what! I’m so excited, I’m making my first biscornu!” Just to have them look at me in this weary, oh-she’s-finally-gone-round-the-bend-now look. But really, I was all excited because I have never done anything but cards or pictures. Why? Because I’m scared of all finishes. I [...]

Why am I up at 4:30 in the morning? Because I’m stitching my first biscornu and thought, oh, this is quite small, surely it can’t take all that long. I shall go to sleep now and sew it tomorrow. And spam you with pretty biscornu pics. Â
