Retired English teacher. Francophile. Reader. Cross-stitcher. Childless cat/dog lady. Introvert, but will talk about books. Don’t ask for recs unless you are READY for that conversation.
Yeah, I have several other Lola Crow SALs in progress. I may switch back to the Greenhouse of Oddities because I’m on the last part (the exploding tree).

They’re great for gardening, too.

When I first started listing to audiobooks, it was difficult to stay focused. I started by listening to books I’d already read in print. Another good entry point is a celebrity memoir. Born a Crime by Trevor Noah is even better on audio.

I rarely enjoy DOING backstitching, but I do enjoy HAVING DONE it.

Yours looks great! It’s really bringing the piece to life. 💚

I didn’t expect to love it so much, but it’s one of my favorites of the year. It was recommended on a Book Riot podcast.

That was my guess! I have several of his designs in my WIP pile. 💚

Stitching has been mostly aspirational lately, as I’m my mom’s primary caregiver. She has COPD and dementia caused by oxygen deprivation. It’s sad to watch such a strong woman become so frail.

When I have a few minutes, I sneak in some stitches in these SALs.

Etsy, I believe. It’s been years since I bought needleminders, so I don’t recall the shop name.

Crafting and collecting craft supplies are two distinct hobbies. 😜
