april 20 - lots of acronyms

It's raining...again...some things never change! But this weekend is supposed to be warm and sunny...and I am hoping to have my butt planted firmly on a chair outside stitching away!

So today we have TUSAL, PIF and IHSW...and also RRs on the horizon!

Today is the New Moon which means another Totally Useless SAL post. I am liking the way my jar is filling up, even though it doesn't seem like I am doing much stitching lately!

Babs has received the PIF I sent her, so here is a photo:


The design is a freebie from Appleseed Prim, stitched with Carrie's Silk Threads in Blue Dream. Those threads are such a pleasure to stitch with. I finished it off as a pinkeep.

And this third weekend of the month means another International Hermit & Stitch Weekend. I have several little projects I am planning to work on, so hopefully something will be accomplished and I will have some pics to show on Monday! I have three new round robins starting up very soon, and another this summer, so I think I will have lots to keep me busy!

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend planned!

february 21 - TUSAL & an update

It's time for a TUSAL report. I started off the month with lots of stitching, but haven't done as much the last two weeks. Still, I think I have added a reasonable number of orts to the jar!

Here is the block I received from Renee in the monthly block exchange at Stitchers' Timeout. The theme was blue. I love this design, and the blue is so much deeper and richer than it appears in the photo. Thanks again Renee!


This was "Hermit" weekend, and although I was a hermit for most of the weekend, I didn't get much stitching done! I seemed to spend most of my time resting and surfing through blogs and other stitchy sites! I did manage to stitch two more bands on the Traditional Sampler though. I think I have four more to go. I am going to really miss this one when it is finished.


Just like I am going through Downton Abbey withdrawals now! How are we expected to wait until next January for Season 3?????

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment. I have removed the wordy thing from my comments page. I hope this makes it easier for those of you who want to comment. I know that I am having an awful time trying to decipher those little words!
