Stitching for Literacy Update
A bookmark from Tam’s Creations. It’s one of six patterns in the Easter Blackwork Bookmarks chart. The Monday “What have you done lately?” accountability post, where I announce my Needle and Thread: Stitching for Literacy program promotion goal for the week and fess up on last week’s goal. Last week, my goal was to create [...]
Becca’s Earrings
Becca signed on for the I Heart You Earrings class at The Stitchers’ Village. Check out her work. I’ve made three pairs- one for me and two I’m giving away. Need to make more. Oh, I used DMC satin S602 and an iridescent Kreinik ribbon. These are fun! Happy Valentine’s Day! It is a happy [...]
Embroidered Earrings
It’s here! The event we’ve all been waiting for! Stitchers lined the Village streets on January 31, spending the night outside in the cold, wet snow to be the first to register for the new Limited Edition On Demand Video Class. Hurry! Last one there’s a rotten egg! Ahem. Okay, so I can’t do hype. [...]
February Stitchers’ Voice is Up
The Stitchers’ Voice is the e-zine produced in The Stitchers’ Village. It comes out monthly and contains news about events, classes, patterns, shops, designers, and sundry stitchy things. There’s usually a contest or two, sometimes a pattern, and always a heap of fun. And, oh yeah, it often contains something from me. The February issue [...]
A Storm!
A brainstorm, that is. Oh, how I love a brainstorm: an outpouring of ideas with flashes of brilliance! Continued from yesterday… Like Shelly, I love the idea of being able to write favorite lines and titles on the bookmark. The concern about needing the suggestion to do so can be easily addressed. I like how [...]
Behind the Scenes
I did it! I made my first on demand video class for The Stitchers’ Village. It is a Limited Edition project class. Limited Edition = for a limited time. It will only be available through the month of February. Project class means the subject is a project as opposed to a technique like Hardanger or [...]
Embroidered Bracelet Class
It’s back! The Embroider Me! Bracelet Basics & Beyond class will be on tap at The Stitchers’ Village in the new year. The class begins on January 11 and runs for four weeks, one lesson per week, so you’ll have plenty of time to complete them. Kits are available and can be ordered through me [...]
First Winter Storm
Power’s out. Lots of heavy wet snow. This has the makings of an extended outage. We’re fairly well prepared, so no worries for a while. It sure is pretty! Not much to read here, I know. If you want, the December 1 Needlework Nutshell went out early this morning (subscription box in sidebar), and the [...]
NaNo Update
Well, as of this moment, I’m two days behind in my word count. Gak! It’s not an insurmountable deficit, but I hate playing catch-up, especially as we enter the dark forest of the second and third weeks. Things usually slow down in here as we wander and get lost, so making up words could be [...]
