Amongst a 100 Other Things

Since my previous post, I've been on my 100 day project journey, making an ATC (Artist Trading Card) every day. (I talk about them on my other blog.) So I'm pleasantly surprised that I've made some progress on my fiber crafts as well. 🙂 Here's what's happening with my flossy and yarny projects - Blackwork …

Rinse, Repeat

I've been working on my crafty projects, there's just not much to show. I do have new yarn, though! 🙂 Red Heart Dynamic Squares Throw My yarn for the Dynamic Squares throws arrived after repeated calls to the courier company--they were just keeping the package on hold for days at the receiving facility without attempting …

Not So Monogamous Anymore

I'm in various stages of various projects, and I think it's the first time I'm working on these many projects simultaneously. I used to be a monogamous knitter/crocheter a long time ago, and I think adding cross-stitch to my WIPs suddenly removed my project-count mental limit. I realize I was a mostly monogamous stitcher last …

Current and Future Projects

Hello hello! I'm back to looking and planning for, and starting on, new projects, and I thought I'll run by with a quick update on them, and of course, on my ongoing projects. 2022 MSAL by Fox and Rabbit I have deprioritized this project. I'll still stitch it, of course, only infrequently. I'm finding that …

Stitching and Stuff

Happy New Year! The beginning of a year brings with it a host of goals and resolutions, but I usually set and reassess year-long goals at shorter intervals since that works out better for me. With new make-alongs and courses starting this year, I've reaffirmed some of my arty-n-crafty goals, and modified others. Here are …

Changing Seasons (Fox and Rabbit MSAL) /10

I'm done with my November section of the Fox and Rabbit MSAL too, yay! This section represents the winter season. Though winter is traditionally associated with snow, there is no snow where I live, and the foliage mostly stays green, so that's what I chose to represent in my stitching. I did, however, take some …

Changing Seasons (Fox and Rabbit MSAL) /9

I've finished my October section of the Fox and Rabbit MSAL. (It's been done for a week now; it's my post that's delayed.) I changed the motif borders just a little bit so that they look uniform and consistent within the section, just like all the other mini sections. Here's how it looks - For …

My Biscornu Debut

Here's my very first biscornu all finished, woo hoo! I used stitches inspired by blackwork and kasuti on both sides of the biscornu. After what seemed like a long break following the completion of the stitching, I went to work on joining the front and back. Before I joined the pieces, I stitched a backing …

Changing Seasons (Fox and Rabbit MSAL) /8

Now that most of what we normally need around our new home is in order, we've decided to treat the rest of the activities as the long tail, and will handle them when we're up to it. So I'm slowly finding more time and energy for my hobbies. I've decided to not take up too …

Picking up the Projects

Now that we have our kitchen and internet connection mostly figured out after our move, life feels more than 50% back to normal. 😉 We're still unpacking, and expect that to go on for a while since we're taking it slow. I've resumed some creative activities--like drawing something small every day in my mini art …
