I have never in my life purchased anything from Mary Maxim, though from time-to-time I’ve been on their mailing list. Imagine my surprise when I received not just a catalog, but a free ball of yarn from them in yesterday’s mail! All I can think of is that at some point I must have signed […]
Before sharing the kind of flower I am, I’m tempting you… tomorrow my blog will include photos of my finished Kiri shawl(!), as well as a rundown on my holiday weekend. Ugh.
You are a Rose:
You are creative, sensual, passionate, and bold. You pour your heart into everything that you do. Alluring and gifted with strong […]
Your Birthdate: December 4
You have an extraordinary character—moral, responsible, and disciplined.
Your sincerity and honesty shine through in almost every situation.
Driven and focused, you rarely let your emotions get the better of you. (Hm. They don’t know me very well…)
You’re level headed and rational. People count on your to look at things objectively.
Your strength: Your unwavering […]
The Noble Princess
You are just and fair, a perfectionist with a strong sense of proper decorum. You are very attracted to chivalry, ceremony and dignity. For the most part you are rather sensible, but you are also very idealistic.
Role Models: Guinevere, Princess Fiona (of Shrek)
You are most likely to get kidnapped by a stray dragon.

Do you always sign your projects? If not, why? If so, do you use your first name, initials or what?
I don’t always sign my projects, I almost always sign them. I didn’t sign them at all when I started stitching. In fact, I didn’t sign a thing until I met Dave, and he made me […]
I stitched madly away at this yesterday, and finished. And Dave loves it. Now, to get lining and backing fabric and to figure out how to make into an actual, usable stocking. I’m not terribly good at sewing, so that’s the tricky part. Even stitching this on a rotation it didn’t take too terribly long. […]
As promised, I have a few photos to share from our little vacation last week at the resort in Las Vegas. We were busy packing and organizing most of the day before. Here’s one of the worst photos of me on record, tired from having been up most of the night before, and having been […]
How do you feel about staying totally true to a pattern? Do you feel that you have to rip out stitches to fix a mistake or do you feel it’s acceptable to incorporate a mistake into the design?
Some patterns I am completely comfortable with making changes to, some minor, like the bead-color change I did […]
This blogging without photos thing is for the birds. I decided to chance it this afternoon, collected everything in one spot by a window, and took a couple pictures. This stupid camera battery—still hoping it’s the battery and not the camera—I swear. Last time I turned it on for only a couple minutes to take […]
Still plugging away at it. Wish I could count on my camera battery to live long enough to take a few photos. Last night (or was it this morning?) I finally finished up the first ball of yarn. It was close! I finished up the purl row with somewhere between one and two yards of […]
