A record of my journey through yarn projects
Hello! Last month, I attempted to change the way I handle my creative projects--I tried to stick to only one WIP for as long as I can. One WIP for fiber projects and one for mixed media, that is, since I do have mixed media commitments that I cannot ignore. So most of January was … Continue reading 2024 SAL by Cliffside Stitches /WIP
Hello! It feels like 2025 has snuck up on me even though I knew it was coming. 🙂 Hope your holidays have been enjoyable. I wish you a peaceful and healthy year ahead! I was down on creative energy last month, and only made a new year card for my sister after many attempts at … Continue reading Happy 2025!
Hello! I'm finally done with all of my mixed media commitments, so I now have time for other projects, yay! I'm hoping I can catch up on my flossy and yarny projects, but as always, another set of activities has cropped up and is vying for my spare time. Sigh. Well, at least I'm making … Continue reading Stitches and Fixes
Kind of. 🙂 Last month, I had to travel for my new job quite unexpectedly. I'm back at home now, and have a bit of a break from work. I'm trying to catch up on my mixed media commitments, and also readying things for Diwali. My mixed media deadlines used to be far away and … Continue reading I’m back!
Hello! I finally have some progress on projects that have been sort of just shuffling about. They're not all successes, but there's definitely some learning (that I haven't gotten to yet) from the failures too. Here's an update - Quilted Cushion Covers My trial run with my chosen scraps didn't go the way I thought … Continue reading Catching Up
Hello, hello! Just last month, I was celebrating the rain. While the water and the cooler temperatures are great, I'd forgotten about the downsides of torrential rains--the disruptions to daily travel, the potential increase in mosquito population, minor leaks springing in houses, and of course, sub-par drying of clothes! The fresh, clean smell of sun-dried … Continue reading Works in Progress
Hello! Hope you've been having a creative time. I've made some progress on each of my WIP (work-in-progress) projects, and after my heatwave-related mini break, it's been satisfying. The rainy weather's been so good that I really only want to eat pakoras while watching / re-watching all the series, but working on creative projects while … Continue reading Progress on Projects
Hello, hello! Hope you've been well. As for me, my fiber pursuits took a hit for a while. I had a severe fever-induced heat rash (thanks, heatwaves and summer!) and it made working on these projects pretty annoying most of the time because of how the fabrics felt on my skin. So I did more … Continue reading Disruptions and Resumptions
Hello! I've been spending my creative time on stitching, coding, and mixed media lately. I suddenly seem to be hugely motivated coding-wise, and have about a hundred ideas, a few of which I've made good progress on. On the stitching side, I'm slowly making my way through SALs. Here are my ongoing projects. 2024 SAL … Continue reading Stitching Updates

Now that my creative mojo is mostly back after my travel, I've managed to reach some mini milestones in my projects -- Changing Seasons (2022 MSAL) by Fox and Rabbit I've finished all four corner motifs now, and I'm pleased with the transition of colors in these. From this on all four corners… .... … Continue reading Mini Milestones
