From January 2021... Cross stitch temperature stitch projects seem to be all the rage this year (and last year too). This is my own "surface embroidery" take on a super cool idea. This project was kicked off in January 2021 with our local guild! I wanted the time commitment to be relatively low for this…
This is from November 2020.... It’s quite amazing how fast time goes by. My trip to BC was very nice and it was wonderful catching up with my aunt. It was not a visit in the traditional sense as we were not able to stay at her house as we usually would. Instead, we had…

I share how-to videos, inspirational emails and page based ideas on building a personal journal. I’ve been following Trish Burr’s mini journal project with great interest and I have been recently introduced to Amina and her…
The project list is about to grow - exponentially! I’ve done a crazy thing and have signed up for yet another event in May (in addition to the Natalie Dupuis workshop and EAC Seminar). The Crewelwork Company is holding their Lady Anne’s Retreat virtually this year and - well - I just couldn’t help myself.…
