We had a tree this year for the first time in several years. We used only a fraction of our ornament collection on it but we think it's...

I haven't said anything yet about this month's TIF, the last one, but I have been thinking about it. At the beginning of December, I...

Well, I didn't get it done. I tried. The four-day holiday weekend helped and I stitched on it pretty diligently. I used one whole skein ...

My November TIF project is finally underway. I’m feeling my way here and I think I should have set it up differently perhaps. First, I tacke...

A trip to an antique show this weekend sparked an idea. While browsing I found two issues of Corticelli's needlework publication, 1898 a...

I'd hoped to get this up last night but Blogger wouldn't cooperate. I spent much of today "visiting" France. A French frie...

After the award, this feels like a most uncreative week. I haven't worked on my journal, although I have been gathering materials for a ...

For some reason I just could not get going on this one. I sampled and experimented and gathered materials but didn't take a stitch in th...

Well, June's endless TIF is finally completed. When I was done I made myself notes on everything. The front shows a stash run amok, full...

The big conference has begun and I'm in downtown Chicago. I got here around 4:30 yesterday and immediately began working, straightening ...

Since I had to come in to work on a holiday, I decided to get in a blog post. I had fun in my office yesterday with an exercise from the Jou...

The theme for July is "how does it feel to be at the half way mark?" I must admit my first thought is relieved! I'm still very...
