The Design It Yourself SAL – Done!

A framed embroidery piece. The embroidery contains cross stitch and blackwork motifs in white and pastel colors on black Aida cloth. The piece is situated within a frame made of wood and metal.

Hello! I'm over the moon since I finally finished the Design It Yourself SAL. It's my first FO (finished object) for the year, and here's how it looks framed - Isn't it a beauty? I'm so in love with the designs and patterns on this one. I think Madeleine, the creator, has outdone herself here. … Continue reading The Design It Yourself SAL – Done!

Design it Yourself SAL /5

Cross stitch and blackwork motifs in white and pastel colors on black Aida cloth

I managed to finish the 5th set of sections in this SAL, and wow, this one is definitely something else! (It's the one the needle in my picture is pointing to, and its symmetric partner on the other side.) Madeleine, the SAL designer, took inspiration from the interlaced patterns that are often found in Islamic … Continue reading Design it Yourself SAL /5

Some of This, Some of That

A set of 13 completed crochet rectangles, with multiple rounds of colors in each

Hello! Here I am with another round of updates on my projects. Dynamic Squares Throws by Susan Heyn I've got 13 out of 16 rectangles down! I'd thought I'd write about my progress when I finished the 12th one so I could lay them out in a nice symmetrical circle for the picture. 🙂 I … Continue reading Some of This, Some of That

Almost There

I'm still working on my coding projects and some more commitments for my mixed media projects, but surprisingly, I've also made more progress on my fiber-n-floss projects than I'd expected (but still less than I'd have liked.) I'm hoping that in a month or so, when my other commitments have reduced, I can split time … Continue reading Almost There

A Milestone is Reached–Yay!

I've not been working much on my fiber crafts lately. (I know you hear me say this a lot. 😉 ) This month, I've been absorbed in an interesting coding project for my personal use, and when I'm not on it, I've had to concentrate a bit on my mixed media projects due to prior … Continue reading A Milestone is Reached–Yay!

The Blackwork SAL

I finished the Blackwork SAL project earlier this month, and finally got the chance to mount it in this gorgeous frame that we've placed near the entrance of our home. Stitching the border took me more time than I'd thought. The SAL designers generously provided five borders to choose from, and after a lot of … Continue reading The Blackwork SAL

Piles of Tiles

Now that I've put the Fox and Rabbit 2022 SAL into the 'maybe' pile, all of my current projects incorporate tiles or blocks in some manner. Consequently, I feel like I've been working on a bunch of tiles lately! Monsoon rains have finally officially started here (yay!), so I'd rather munch on hot pakoras than … Continue reading Piles of Tiles

Patchy Progress

The family and I are mostly back to normal now. Summer's still an energy-sapper, and I think we'll take a while to get used to it. My creative time is mostly spent on my 100 Day ATC project and my art journaling lately, so my fiber-and-floss projects are a bit slowgoing. Here's what's happened since … Continue reading Patchy Progress

Here's what's happening with my fiber and floss projects - Changing Seasons (2022 MSAL) by Fox and Rabbit I seem to have managed a quick mini-sprint, completing two colors in the current motif, along this marathon December section!
