Fat Quarter Shop's Bloomtopia

-
I am finally ready with all my supplies for Fat Quarter Shop's Bloomtopia. If you haven't heard of it, go here to read all about it. It is for a great cause...and you get to stitch!

I ordered my supplies from Fat Quarter Shop directly. 

My fabric is Witchel aisa 14 count, Touch of Grey. It is a beautiful color that I will use for other projects as well.

I am using called for DMC.

And, to top it off, I ordered the cute WIP bag and needle minder 😁.
This Stitch Along starts Friday February first, with new, small parts released every two weeks. Hope you join in!

January 2020 WIPs I am a new cross stitcher, but already I am starting more cross stitching projects than I can handle. But that's part of the fun, right?  So here are my January WIPs--let's see what kind of progress I can make! Year-Long Stitch Along My biggest project to date is definitely taking on the Linens and Threads 2020 Stitch Along. For those of you who have not heard of it, head over to their 2020 SAL page and check it out. The designers release a piece of the pattern monthly about the first of every month for an entire year. They have done this since 2017, and if you want, the 2017, 2018, and 2019 patterns are already released for you. You can join the 2020 at any point. This year's bonus is that each month's pattern will also have an ornament, which matches one of my stitching goals nicely (see below).  I got a good start on January's pattern because of the holiday break from work. I am stitching on 14 count aida I found in a fabri...

WIP of the Week

My favorite project these days is my Boo Chalkfull by Hands on Design and Priscilla Blain . I'm supposed to be doing a daily theme, working on different projects each day, but I can't seem to put this one down. I struggled in the beginning because this is my first time using hand-dyed floss. Plus, the first two colors I used were white and...well, almost-white. My backs of my pieces are generally neat-ish, but only because it makes it easier to stitch. But this one...well, as you can see, I fought hard for these first few pumpkins! I bought this project as a "kit" from Fat Quarter Shop . I'm using Witchel 14 count chalkboard, and the called for Color Works floss, which includes: My favorite part of this project is stitching the jar. You only use one strand of floss, which gives ot a transparent look. Not only does this look cool, but it is quick and easy to stitch! I am SO close to being done. Maybe...

Why is Mom in Her Car?

I grew up outside. I spent my childhood in the woods, or on the golf course, or riding my bike. I was rarely inside--and usually only when it was dark. As I got older, I had less time to spend outside, and definitely less time spent on what I want to do: travel with my family, sip some wine, and do some stitching. Now I'm in my office, or cleaning my house, or driving my car on my 45 minute commute to work. I sit in meetings, or sit at my desk, or sit in my car. And while I'm sitting, I just want to go outside and play. But I'm a grown up. I have a job, a husband, a house, kids, a dog, etc. So it's not as easy to play what I want, but, I think, even more important to do so. I'm sure there is research about needing Vitamin D, or on the benefits of getting out and sitting less or how a glass of wine a day is good for your heart (isn't it?). But I don't really care about that. I just want to be outside. I'm working hard to get outside more, play mo...
