An ongoing tale of my stitching obsession. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Last weekend was one busy weekend!

I picked out a counted canvas pattern called Tiptoe Through the Tulips and all of the stuff I needed for it. I love doing these needlepoint designs, but my oh my the supplies for them add up quickly. As you can see, I was so happy to get this that I started it as soon as I got home. It's b...

Karen's Colourful Creations: Catch up
http://www.karenscolorfulcreations.com/2015/04/catch-up.html
An ongoing tale of my stitching obsession. Thursday, April 23, 2015. It's been awhile, I know. I have been severely neglecting my blog and for the most part stitching in general. Recently, I picked up a small little ornament that I was working on before Christmas and I enjoyed placing the simple Xs on this simple little design and it's all sort of snowballed since then. I've finished this cute little Prairie Schooler design a couple of weeks ago. Just Cross Stitch Christmas Issue 2010. The leaves are act...

http://www.karenscolorfulcreations.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
An ongoing tale of my stitching obsession. Thursday, August 27, 2015. A little of this . and a little of that. This summer is just flying by. It's hard to believe it's August already and it seems too soon for leaves to be changing colour, but I found some this morning! The weather this past week has been absolutely dreadfully hot hot hot. Blue Jay in the bird bath re-purposed as a bird feeder. Squirrelly - I think I have a dozen of these little guys running around. I've also worked on Summer Tree of Stit...

http://www.karenscolorfulcreations.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
An ongoing tale of my stitching obsession. Monday, June 29, 2015. Finally - a finish! Yup, that's right. I managed to stick with something long enough to finish it off! The design that kept me going long into the night was Quaker Gardens by Blackbird Designs. I was determined to finish it last night before going to bed. Well, Quaker Garden's time to shine finally came around and I enjoyed stitching every little bit of it. Recommended threads and fabric. Til next time,. Links to this post. On the Dry Side.

Cross Stitch Bobobitch Mononitch. Translation: One Bohemian Bourgeois Gal Who Likes to Cross Stitch. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Completed Cross Stitch – “Wicked Night” by Isabella Abbiati for The Primitive Hare. This piece is stitched on a 28-count Ivory-coloured Lugana cloth, dyed with Dylon’s Velvet Black and stitched with one thread over one. The dyed piece's dappled effect reminded me of the moon’s surface at a magnified level and I found the pattern to match after the dye experiment. Think of micro (s...

Cross Stitch Bobobitch Mononitch. Translation: One Bohemian Bourgeois Gal Who Likes to Cross Stitch. Saturday, January 23, 2016. Completed Cross Stitch - Rose Calton's "Pig Pals" for Leisure Arts. Are pigs really that big of a deal around here? Like with March 1st coming up and being National Pig Day (USA midwest) and all. While I think about March 1st and why it has been declared a National Pig Day, I will have to piggyback this idea off of another while I put my pigs in a blanket in the oven. Oh, it's ...

Follow Thread in Hand by Email. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Then the insurance adjuster came to tell me that my car is totaled. That means it will cost more to fix it than the car is worth. A minor fender-bender has become a big headache. (Not my fault! We have to decide what to do next. Still thinking . . . So anyway I have been working on my eyelets for Friesland. I'm on the 15th one now. If I worked at it I could finish them today. If I worked diligently I could finish this today too. We'll see. At least...
