Too Many Projects, Not Enough Time
I’m back with a little update on my excruciatingly slow house glow-up: my bedroom. It did take two months to finish something that could have been done in a weekend, but I think the new color really suits Lucy. I didn’t really think to take a proper before picture, but I can tell you the…
I have a series of small cross stitches for a couple of patterns I created. Problem is I made them on scrap Aida, so there’s no extra fabric to frame them, and I have been looking for ways to use them as they are cute. First tiny project was a pin cushion: I used all…
