The Stitching Bloggers’ Question of the week is: What is your favorite pastime while stitching? Do you just enjoy silence, listen to music/audiobooks or do you “watch” TV/movies? Do you have specific favorites you listen to/watch while stitching? I like gaming while stitching, but I’m finding that it doesn’t work so well in one-on-one games. When we […]
Further Prof of Insanity: Blog365
I got through NaBloPoMo, as ridiculous as it was to commit to posting at least once a day for a month. So of course that small success has led me, in a moment of more-than-usual-lunacy, to sign up for Blog365 (otherwise known as “Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire”). The purpose is fairly clear: […]
I Have Done More Than Twittering!
For one thing, I have several draft posts sitting around here, but I haven’t been able to stay focused long enough to finish any of them. Sam caught some kind of flu-like crud, which Katie and I both caught, of course. Now he seems to be getting it again, which is grossly unfair. Poor bear! The girl […]
Color Clues, or Why Four Blue Sweaters Isn’t Enough
Originally published at Enemy of Entropy. Please leave any comments there. “Another blue sweater? You have four of those. Why not get something different for a change?” “No, I have navy, cornflower, Williamsburg, and baby blue sweaters. This one is royal blue. That’s totally different!” Okay guys, I know that you thought women were making […]
SBQ: Stitching on the Road
This week’s Stitching Blogger’s Question is What do you keep your WIPs and other stitching supplies in when traveling? I nearly didn’t answer this one, because the bag is dingy! This is the disreputable bag in which I carry my current stitching projects. Projects go in Ziplock bags inside the bag, as the bag itself has […]
Weird
My paid LJ account is about to expire, and I’m not feeling any anxiety about it. There are far more important things to pay for. Yeah, I’ll miss the extra icons and the simple URL, but I’ve been trying to move to my blogs anyway. They’re syndicated here. Oh — if you comment on the syndicated […]
Stitching Bloggers’ Question of the Week: Fabric Organization?
I’ve been waiting eagerly for this week’s SBQ. I don’t know why, I just have. They sometimes remind me of stash I don’t think about often enough. Do you have an organizational system for your fabric? If so, what is it? If not, what do you store your fabric in? How do people store their fabric, […]
SBQ: Over- or hand-dyed flosses
The Stitching Bloggers Question of the Week is: For those of you who use hand or over-dyed floss, how do you store it? I use the same plastic bobbins that I use for most of my fibers. I haven’t had any problems with it or heard of any arguments against doing so. I like being able to […]
SBQ: Needlework tools
The stitching bloggers question of the week is Do you have a favorite needlework tool that you like to work with? What is it and why do you like using it? I use very few tools in stitching. There are many that I’ve tried or considered, but only one thing other needles and scissors has stuck: […]
SBQ: Embroidery scissors
This week’s Stitching Bloggers Question is Many of us have a few pairs of embroidery scissors and some even have a “collection”. How many pairs of scissors do you have? Feel free to share a photo of your favorite pair or pairs with us! I just have the one pair, but that pair is sacred! No […]
