Hi folks.
My errors continue in Sarah. After adapting the tree to the linen thread miscue, I found the tree greenery to be too long. Yet, the number of rows is good, the height is good, and rather than dilly dally trying to find the source, I removed the top row of the trunk. It fits now! Changed the 676 to 869 to match the other tree, just didn't show well enough. Am I ready to set her aside? It's been a long time with Sarah and these meaningless errors have no influence on needing a break. I am just anxious to do something small. Debating.
As for stitching on perforated paper, Mill Hill and their bead kits for ornaments are an example. But lately, NeedleWorkPress has shown samplers and small pieces that I adore.
For those that do not follow Instagram, these are posts from NeedleWorkPress featuring old and new pieces.
I think any design can be switched to the paper. But something like Phebe would be difficult for me since I am a backside thread runner which would show through quite noticeably.
These samplers are from a retreat, not available until next year, on perforated paper.
Mid June. I am so bummed. Can't do a damn thing! Except a four hour dental visit Tuesday and another the following week. I received a surprise gift in the mail of a small Stacy Nash sampler chart in red. That brought a smile!! Unexpected and grateful is this crabass.
Worsened greatly in another area of the knee. Round four of steroid pack, no choice. So these two are my new rides. Scares the catnip out of Missy.

BrooksBooks on Etsy has some very pretty Christmas ornaments that are stitched on perforated paper. They are truly beautiful and stitch up fairly quickly (50 hours or so) I have made several and gifted some and gotten huge accolades.
The sampler is coming along. I have found that working one large and one small piece works for me. I don't get bored and can vary what I do. A friend makes very cute Mill Hill ornaments, but I think that perforated paper (not to mention the beads) would drive me nuts!!
If round four does the trick, so be it. Praying your mobility and function will be restored. In the meantime, don't get any speeding tickets with those vehicles.....poor Missy.. Great weekend to you and Mark....
Stitching mottos on perforated paper was huge during victorian times...and, if I recall, it was a big thing in the German culture. Ooo, those roll-abouts make me nervous. They turn into something dangerous whenever I am around them it seems. ~Robin~
Thanks for educating me on perforated paper. I’m assuming it’s thicker than cardstock. Appreciate you. S
I like the looks of the small samplers on perforated paper. I wish the 18-count paper came in the antique brown or even ivory color. Have a relaxing weekend, Marly!
I always think of perforated paper as flimsy. Is it more like heavy card stock? I've never actually held the paper in hand, only seen finished projects at EGA shows and they tend to get a bit upset by people handling the items. I *like* the Phoebe and the folio samplers you've shown.
Sorry your knee woes continue. I hope the next round of steroids and giving your knee a good rest by using the seat on wheels gets you on the mend. Once Missy realizes that's what makes it possible for her feedings, I bet she'll calm down.
Carole has sure been to hell and back!!! And you...you just can't catch a break.
I stitched a few Halloween ornaments on perforated paper decades ago. What a great idea to stitch a little something and send in a card!!!
now you have me wanting to attempt stitching on perf-paper.
I have shielded my eyes from it for long enough....
if you hear a rip or tear and them a few expletives from my corner, kindly ignore LOL!
