Samplers-and-Santas
Also ordered Hands on Designs three berry charts.
Who am I?
*****************
To be completed when the damn vertigo settles.
Heartstring Samplery book, stitching the three very small florals. The dmc did not look like the photo so I changed several threads.
These two are happy with their food only for the first half of the bag. Try another ..... nope.
Have not been able to trap either.
Enjoy your day,
Hey. What's happening?
I have been bombarded with hundreds of bot comments from a data place and it takes quite a while to remove them, so I changed the commenting.
Anyway, watched Sully Stitches this evening and one of her previous finishes became a must have. How do I find it?
Most of you may already employ this search method. When I spot something in a photo, I right click, scroll the drop down menu, and then choose search with google lens, bingo.
But videos take more work. I watch floss tube and browse on my laptop. No phone, even the tablet is limiting compared to options and features on an operating system. So I stop the video, grab the tablet, and hit the Image Search button, taking a photo of the image on the laptop.
And that leads to this result of that search on the tablet or your android phone. Not sure how I-things work.
Some really old chart searches may not offer an answer, but most times I've been directed to what I need. I've also used this method to get info about old jewelry pieces and some decorative pieces.
The right click works on FB posts (avoids click bait recipes) and almost any photo or image, except on IG and videos. The image search icon in the address bar works for any photo you take online or not. I've identified bugs with it!
Just thought I'd mention this, may help in the hunt for a chart or design. Probably not anything you didn't already know but I got excited about finding that chart.
Have a good weekend.

Hi folks.
The laptop I purchased almost two years ago is finally being used and the old one whose keyboard no longer works must be recycled. If I had known how easy it is to transfer old to new, I would have done it long ago. My tablet is 15+ years old and also creating problems. In moving bookmarks and deleting years of clutter, I found this site in my sewing folder. I haven't taken the time for a thorough browse but there is a great amount of stitches to learn. Thanks to Periwinkle (Sian), many of us are taking an interest in embroidery. She really made me laugh when she commented about the older thin Weeks linen saying that you could shoot peas through it.
There are so so many tubers to watch, but what makes some stand out and really become favorites? What they feature? Their personality and presentation? Voice? Mannerism? Some receive negative comments regarding their haul, but I shop their haul. Seeing what others are acquiring when there is so much I would not see otherwise, is close to my favorite part of the videos. It's a video about needlework and stash is a part of it.
So here's the link if you're interested for the Royal School of Needlework.

This will take you to the wall showing every stitch on its site, and clicking on them opens to photo instructions for creating each one. Many options to search and explore hundreds. Just a snippet shown here.

Parlour Pincushion by NeedleWorkPress on 36 count my dye, would fit better on 4" box if done on 40 count. I hated this loose linen. A lot.
***************
I have several boxes left from my painting days, this is another that I popped the lid's wood off to recess for needlework. The stitchery is not perfectly centered and installed yet, because I think I want to paint the box.
This wood color is sealed and I already have several on display, so painted it will be. A brownish greenish rust.
Stitched my initials. Couldn't find a container to wrap in leather for a drum, all were too tall. I have spools of fine leather lacing and may attach to the rim's edge.
Have a good day folks.
