Christine! Is that you????

I know – my blogging has become so infrequent one does not even recognize me any more! Rest assured, though, life is just continuing – I am here.
And doing a little bit of stitching. It is unbelievable how far behind I am. I am working on (and almost done) a needlework smalls project for the [...]

The SBQ

Guess what – time for the SBQ:
Have you had a happy dance yet this year? If so, tell us about it! (Or just point to the entry that talks about it.) If not, when do you predict it will be?

New Year, New Questions

Tada!

Hello, Christine. Welcome.
It all began as I was happily stitching away on my latest love, Lily Maiden. I was busily completing smyrna crosses all along the border.
Christine notices all the nods of assent around the room.
Then, it happened.
The room settles in with a hushed pause.
I finished all the crosses, and [...]

My Justification

For being a floss miser! Look how much DMC 415 I have left after finishing that colour with Lily Maiden:
All doubt is now laid to rest – I have my justification.
Speaking of the lovely lady, I estimate that if I have one more slow night at work (and there is no reason to doubt that [...]

Ssssooooooo Close!

I was hoping to get one last happy dance in 2006, but no such luck. Lily will have to be my first of the new year. Now all that is left is the border!
