Year of Finishes 2022 – January Check-In

Brief relatively unimportant note: I previously said I would be posting a final, fourth "everything else" category for my Round-Up posts, where I fit in my crafts that weren't quilting, knitting and crocheting, or cross stitch. I've since decided not to write that post. There are so many projects I have laying around that aren't… Continue reading Year of Finishes 2022 – January Check-In

Year of Finishes: February

Another month down, and I'm two weeks late again. Of course, I was two weeks late with last month's post so...I guess really, it all evens out in the end. 😉 February was another month of a lot of progress. I didn't finish anything like I did in January (the finishes I've had were technically… Continue reading Year of Finishes: February

Year of Finishes: January Progress

Well folks, February is here (and also, almost gone). For me, that means my birthday has come and passed, I'm closer to remembering my dates end with 18 instead of 17 now, and spring is a breath away even though it's still cold as #$!& outside. (My pain levels would like to know when that… Continue reading Year of Finishes: January Progress

2018 – Year of Finishes

Hey everyone. Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. I'm really terrible about posting in a timely fashion for all these holiday things lol. It's been a while again since I posted, but this time I have good excuses. (Not like I usually don't, but...) I've been spending a lot of… Continue reading 2018 – Year of Finishes

WIP Updates – Dec. 02, 2017

Hey y'all. We all know I'm wordy and my WIP posts tend to get long, and today I'm dealing with a pretty killer headache-turning-migraine, so let's cut to the chase here. I don't think I've done a WIP post for a year. It's actually not been a good year - I've had a lot of… Continue reading WIP Updates – Dec. 02, 2017

 The Journey

Whoever said that "it's not about the destination, it's about the journey" clearly didn't realize they were full of bullshit. I guess that's not very nice of me to say, because I'm sure they were a very lovely person, and it's a great positive motivational saying that reminds you in the end it's all worth… Continue reading  The Journey

Cross Stitching: WIPs Update 10/5/16

Hey friends! So between unpacking and getting our new place put together and doing the normal day-to-day chores, I've been getting a lot of work done on WIPs, especially at night when I sit down to watch TV and relax. It's been a while since I've done an update, so I figured I would do… Continue reading Cross Stitching: WIPs Update 10/5/16

Moving Woes (Part 1) and WIPs Updates

Oy, it's been a while since I posted! I think the title pretty much says it all, so I'll just cut to the quick to save you (and me!) some time. I've been insanely busy around here the last time I posted. I don't know if I ever mentioned it here, but since the last… Continue reading Moving Woes (Part 1) and WIPs Updates

Craft Organization (for the Chronic, AND the Healthy!)

Hi friends! Recently, I "met" a new cross stitching friend. (Hi Michelle!) She had run across my old blog (before my diagnosis, when I only focused on my crafts and WIPs instead of focusing on crafting with chronic illness). She had found my post on how to make your own needle minders for cross stitching,… Continue reading Craft Organization (for the Chronic, AND the Healthy!)
