Here's the beginning of Hope. I like these little beaded ornaments.

 

26 for 2026 #2: Compass by Keslyn's

A bunch of counting for this one.

 

Beginning the Pagoda

This is how far I got on our first needlepoint class. It's actually quite a bit.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #17: Zingouigoui Delight by Riolis

I am embarrassingly far behind on posting. This year with Andreas away has been super busy and a bit occupied. This is a biscornu with tiny! stitches. 

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #18: Tapestry by Ink Circles

I am so very far behind on everything lately. Time to get things like this done. I've been able to get a bit more stitching done lately, at least. Unfortunately, not this piece.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #17: Zingouigoui Delight by Riolis

Another intricate biscornu started. I need to finish one.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #20: Wander by Heart in Hand

Making this again for someone else.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #20: Triangle Temari from Temari Design

Recently bought a new temari book and made this design from it. I'll be making the design again soon.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #15: Tiger Lily by RTO

Another tiny kit by RTO including frame. When I get back to it, it'll be done in a flash.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #18: Tapestry by Ink Circles

A cute little piece too stitch up quickly.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #27: St. Martin's Celtic Cross by Celtic Cross Stitch Company

This is a very straightforward stitch. I've had this kit in my stash for quite a while. Finally starting it.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #21: Spawn of RYO: Jan by Ink Circles

Another Ink Circles start. This one will be a bit bigger than ornament size, but not much.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #14: Moth Sampler by Jessica Long

Lots of finicky little stitching on these moths, but I'm up to the challenge.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #24: Green Garden by Tamar Nahar-Yanai

I really liked the Christmas tree kit I did from this designer last year. For some reason, this one seems more vague and badly written instruction-wise. I will muddle through, though  the colors aren't what they're supposed to be.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #26: Falling Leaves by Ink Circles

This is the beginning of one of the Ink Circles Patreon patterns. Because of this, it's small and will be a quick finish.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #22: Dark Shards by Ink Circles

Decided to start another Ink Circles pattern. I have so many of these to make.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #13: Brer Rabbits by RTO

Another Estonia kit and another reminder that the Europeans know nothing about American culture because of the name of the kit.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #19: Athena by Satsuma Street

Got the pattern in the Black Needle Society subscription box a while back. Making it now.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #16: Armadillo by RTO

Another little kit bought in Estonia. Though I do wonder about a brown armadillo. Maybe it's dusty?

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #28: A Little Bee by Lizzie Kate

This was one of the Lizzie Kate things with the fabric included but no threads. It's a small little square and I have lots of people who love bees.
