Committed Stitcher

Working on Hope

2026-10-27T15:28:35.317+01:00

Hard to see the beading there, but it's on the fabric. Looks so much better in good lighting.

Time to Add Beads

2026-10-27T15:20:15.767+01:00

Waiting for a few more beads to bling this out.

Big Flower Number Four

2026-10-27T15:05:52.602+01:00

Working my way across on this. I still like it every time I work on it.

Making Legs

2026-10-27T15:00:35.992+01:00

Wandering my way down the froggie's legs. Almost to the feet.

Park Signs

2026-10-27T14:59:28.371+01:00

Park entrance for Wola national park. Taken on our way back from the bison.

Ukrainian Winter Gear

2026-10-27T14:58:28.522+01:00

Andreas sent me a lot of winter gear made by an NGO that employs internally displaced people and war widows.

Battle Diorama

2026-10-27T14:56:37.019+01:00

A diorama of the battle of Waterloo itself, laid out in a huge area.

John Paul Statue

2026-10-27T14:54:42.086+01:00

Every Polish city has at least one. This one's in Wroclaw.

26 for 2026 #22: Earrings by Once Upon une fois

2026-10-02T10:43:43.014+02:00

Doing these earrings was basically a very long set of blanket stitch all the way around with one color change. Mission accomplished quickly.

26 for 2026: Compass by Keslyn's

2026-10-02T10:41:26.347+02:00

Haven't worked on this since I started it. It's small. Will try to finish before the end of the year.

Church Street Shutters

2026-10-02T10:39:47.179+02:00

Shutters and roof of the smaller building started. Still have about four pages to go.

Tea Towels

2026-10-02T10:38:44.191+02:00

Bought these in a quilt store in Tennessee. Haven't started yet because I need to prick and pounce the designs onto the towels. When I get time ....

Bye Bye Bison

2026-10-02T10:36:55.325+02:00

One last stop looking at the bison before we made the mile walk back to the car.

Animated Battle

2026-10-02T10:35:38.264+02:00

Large video screen in the Waterloo museum plays an animation of the battle on a loop.

River Walk

2026-10-02T10:33:55.955+02:00

We walked near the river quite a bit one day in Wroclaw.

26 for 2026 #6: Brown Wooden House by Wonderland Crafts

2026-09-30T10:56:00.567+02:00

One of the kits Andreas sent me from Kyiv all started.

Apple Blossoms

2026-09-30T10:54:26.368+02:00

The front part, which is the more covered, is getting close to being done. Little apple blossoms peeking out.

Last Step

2026-09-30T10:52:37.993+02:00

Almost completely done with this. Working on the background to finish it.

One Side to the Other

2026-09-30T10:50:52.761+02:00

Worked on the right side so it's now time to move to the left again. The top band's almost done, finally.

Wola Deer

2026-09-30T10:34:11.424+02:00

The Wola sanctuary is also a home for deer. I think their space is bigger than the bisons'.

Wroclaw Islands

2026-09-30T10:32:28.560+02:00

Wandered around parts of Wroclaw we hadn't visited before and got to see some impressive buildings.

In Stitches Stash

2026-09-30T10:30:47.859+02:00

I made a trip to In Stitches when I was in training in DC. This is what I bought.

Let the Draft Horses Out

2026-09-30T10:20:30.344+02:00

Pretty draft horses had their own race when we went. They were, of course, not nearly as fast as the thoroughbreds, but they had personality.

Krakow Lunch

2026-09-30T10:16:49.290+02:00

Random Krakow lunch from a quick visit. Never forget the kompot.

2026-09-21T11:20:32.633+02:00

This should be a quick finish.
