Old linen closet, that wasn’t deep enough for a folded towel and only irked me day after day:
Newly drywalled built in book case instead:
Newly routed electrical work and insulation (to deaden the sounds between the kitchen and bedrooms):
Drywall patched and mudded:

My fussy-cut EPP Hexie Dreams quilt is coming along. All the flowers were stitched into rows and the rows are being stitched together now for the final push. I also share some of my dear sewing supplies!
TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club with Joetta Maue prompted a stitched piece from a photograph and I’ve recreated an adored image of my late grandparents.
A quick update on my fussy-cut EPP hexie dreams quilt. A whopping 131 flowers are now complete, yay!
Haf Weighton lead another TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club workshop on architectural layering, and I was inspired to render New Albany’s Culbertson Mansion based on a photograph by Daniel Andis.
April Sproule led a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club using a spiral concept. I felt like this would be a nice project for a friend and asked her for a color palette, hence the unusual-for-me color theme.
I needed a lanyard so rather than buying one, I followed SewCanShe’s tutorial and made a DIY wristlet key fob.
A long while ago I purchased the Crimson Toadstool needle felting kit from Benzie Designs and finally worked it up.
A fellow reader has added a special touch to my Willow Movie Theme labels – The Dust of Broken Hearts! Gasp!
I made a quirky and weird slow-stitched collage to try to push through a creative slump. It was much more about doing than the outcome.
I stitched this mixed media piece following Gwen Hedley’s instruction through TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Camp.
A quick note about some website updates.
I was inspired to stitch up a stack of tea cups which lead to starting a second project that I’m still thinking about.
I hand stitched and hand quilted a patchwork coaster for my tea cup.
Jette Clover lead a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club using scraps and a stamp. I used a country farm stamp with a big red barn as inspiration.
Kate Time lead a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club on narrative bead texture, and I was inspired to have a play!
I picked up some artsy crafts at a regional show called Interwoven Expressions.
I ordered a small print press from the Open Press Project and have begun experimenting with pressing leaves.
Emily Notman lead a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club where we would learn to make a jar wrap, and I was inspired to create a scene along a lakefront at sunset with cattails blowing in the wind.
Oliver Bliss lead a TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club recently centered on color blocking, and I was inspired to stitch up a skull with flowers.
I worked up Nina Stajner’s swan coloring page from the Lake app in a (mostly) single solitary stitch: the stem stitch.
I used a tiny scrap of stamped fabric to make a tiny canvas showing a tea kettle on a table.
Hmmm… You guys could have used this money to goto Hong Kong with me. I mean who cares about things like ‘property values’ , ‘long term investments’ , and ‘living in nice places’ …. I saw Monkeys!
Aye, it might have been worth it but we are getting really tired of not having real food around!
AWESOME!!!! I can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
Me neither! 😀 😀
