The Stitching Bloggers Question of the Week (really last week) is: How do you balance your stitching time with your other obligations such as work, household chores, etc.? That isn’t really an issue for me, as I haven’t been stitching lately. I really need to go buy some floss so I can get past a stumbling […]
SBQ: Stitching Publications
The Stitching Bloggers Question of the Week: Do you currently subscribe to any stitching publications or have you in the past? (Either in print or online) If so, which ones? I don’t subscribe to any at the moment, and I rarely buy them off the rack. I have hundreds of them in my stash, and I keep […]
School Happy
I finally got the grades from the first technical writing assignment I turned in last week, and the peer reviews I did on two of my classmates’ rough drafts. I got full points for all of them! I was worried about one of the peer reviews, because the person chose to do a set of instructions […]
SBQ: What do you do with completed patterns?
This week’s question is the first of some recycled questions. It was first asked back in 2005, and I don’t think I even knew about SBQ then, so I doubt that I’ve answered it before. After you stitch a pattern or kit, what do you do with it? I’ve done so few kits that they hardly […]
SBQ: Starting Over?
The Stitching Bloggers’ Question of the Week is: Do you have any projects that you have scrapped and started over? What made you start over from scratch? I can only remember one, and I restarted it at least twice, maybe three times. It was the Celtic Cross designed by Deb Davis for Y‑Knot Designs. I think […]
Still Thinging; Date Night
I am, in fact, still keeping up with Thing-a-Day! I need to go post over there, though. I do wish I could automatically cross-post, but if wishes were fishes and all that. I stitched tonight while Sam and I gamed. I also wrote for a while, earlier. Sam and I have recently begun participating in a […]
SBQ: Other crafts?
This weekend’s Stitching Bloggers Question: Are there other crafts that you have tried and abandoned? Why do you like stitching better? Short version: Because it’s one of the few visually-beautiful things I’ve ever been good at.
Happy Car Day!
Well, that’s what it felt like. Poor Sam had to take time off from work, because it was Pain Doc Day. The pain doctor is off in the wilds of Cobb County, because that’s where we lived when I started seeing a pain doctor, and it’s darn near impossible to get a reference to a […]
Thing-A-Day 1!
If there’s a way to auto-cross-post relevant entries from here to Thing-A-Day, I haven’t figured it out. Doing it manually feels inelegant. I don’t have a photo to post, but I got out the drawing tablet for the first time in an embarrassingly long time, and worked on a cross-stitch design. It split into two […]
Happy Friday!
The girl is gone this weekend. I’m starting to feel like the house is just a place where she keeps her stuff and does her laundry! I suppose that’s normal for any parent of an older teen, and good practice for when she goes off to college. It doesn’t mean that i have to like […]
