All caught up with Peppermint Purple’s 2020 Stitch-a-long, week 25!
I Finished It!
The Blackwork Bands project designed by Peppermint Purple is done and added to my page of finished needlework pieces.
Blackwork Project 2
I’m almost finished with the second blackwork project I started to keep me busy each week while waiting for the next pattern drop from the 2020 Stitch-A-Long. This one is also by Peppermint Purple. She calls it Blackwork Bands.
Stitching Post
I mentioned on my needlecrafts page that I’ve been enjoying blackwork lately thanks to Peppermint Purple’s 2020 Stitch-A-Long A Year of Blackwork. I described it to someone and she said she’d like to see it, so here’s a photo of what I’ve done so far.
Woot! We won!
It looks like the T‑SPLOST bill was defeated by a landslide. I’m so glad! That thing was a total boondoggle. My baby girl and I spent the day together and one of the very first things we did was go vote against it! We had a good lunch together and a frozen yogurt treat. She […]
Recent Finishes

My former partner and I used to dream about opening a combination book/stitching/gaming/coffee shop. Of course, independent bookstores are nearly dead, and even Borders is dead now thanks to Amazon. Little needlework shops have […]
Gratitude 8 April 2012
1) Time with my daughter 2) Delicious dinner with Katie and some lovely people 3) Stitching time!
Um, Thank You?
Look! TWO posts in ONE day! Maybe I’m finally crawling out of my pit of depression. My very helpful child disapproved of how I was treating my small stitching project, so she sweetly put it in a huge Ziplock bag and “put it away.” I have absolutely no idea where “away” might be, but it isn’t […]
New Year’s Eve
I hate coming up with titles. Can you tell? Happy New Year to all of you. I hope to see more of you in person this year! I’m still not feeling well at all, so I haven’t been online much. Despite that, my wrists have been aching as if I were working again. How does that happen? […]
