Welcome, 2026!

It is hard to believe that we are already getting close to the midpoint of January. Time is flying by so quickly, it seems.

 Last year brought extensive water damage to our home, so we are glad that those repairs are finally completed. It is disruptive to have a portion of one's house unusable, but we made it through just fine. The repairs took 1/3 of the year, and they were finished less than a week before Christmas.

I am starting out 2026 with just three WIPs.  

The oldest one was started in June of 2024, and it is Yvonne LeClerq 1905 from Reflets de Soie. I am using DMC thread on 32 count antique white linen. 

I am also working on The Night Before Christmas from Tiny Modernist. I also started this piece in 2024, but in November. It is really coming along, and I am 3/4 done. The fabric I am using is Silver Lining from Live and Dye LA. 

Finally, in October 2025 I started Pretty Little Los Angeles by Satsuma Street. I haven't done a terribly large amount on it, but some buildings are done, or just about done. It is being stitched on 32 count "Malt of the Fair" fabric from Live and Dye LA. 

Here are photos of my various WIPs:

I am certain to have some more WIPs at any time soon, but for now I am happily working on either of these three pieces.  

Thanks for stopping by today!
