Update and Queen Anne's Lace Finish

I apologize for my severe lack of blog posts since March! My line of work keeps me insanely busy from April to November with +/- a month or so depending on weather. I'm lucky if I get much stitching time, let alone time to think out a blog post. I hope to find more time for both in 2017, even if I stay up way too late!

I want to give a big THANK YOU to my stitching friends on Facebook and Instagram for keeping me in good spirits in my crafting down time. Special mentions to @amygstitchery, @every_little_stitching_thing, @haedjourney, @jays_xstitch, and of course @rhapsodylime 

Speaking of @rhapsodylime I have an announcement, but you'll have to wait until we take a closer look at this beauty.

Heaven and Earth Designs Kit Review

Hello everyone!

Last month the post delivered what I'd been anxiously waiting for. My Heaven and Earth Designs kit! This kit was a birthday gift from my husband to go along with a chart I was lovingly RAKed by Amy from the Heaven and Earth Designs Facebook group.

What all comes in a Heaven and Earth Designs kit? Is it worth the cost and wait time? Let's take a closer look.

January 2016 WIP Update

Wow...is it really February already? I can't believe how fast January went. I think it may have had to do with all the SAL starts, last minute project changes, and the nasty weather.

On that note it's time for my monthly WIP update! If you follow me already on Instagram feel free to just scroll down after clicking Read More to the end for information about upcoming posts!

2015 in Review & 2016 Plans

Happy New Year Everyone!

First off, I want to apologize at being horrible with updating my blog. After September last year things got crazy with work and the weather so I didn't get any stitching done until the end of November :(

That said, it's time to go over 2015 and my plans for a FAR more productive stitching year in 2016. To check it out click on Read More!

Planned 2015 Starts

Hello again!

I haven't had much time to stitch the past 2 weeks. I have been extremely busy, followed by being under the weather. It's been miserable but I am finally feeling better!

As promised last post I'm going to share with you my plans for the rest of 2015. I am extremely excited about all of these future starts. I'm literally bouncing in my seat as I type this. All of these projects are kitted and ready to go.

Before we get to it I have a question for all of you. How often would you like to see WIP updates and/or haul posts on my blog? Weekly? Bi-Weekly? Monthly? Let me know in the comments. You can also find updates on my Instagram @arcadiandancer

My First RAK!

Interrupting my normal blog posts for some exciting news.

Over the last Heaven and Earth Designs madness sale for Labor Day I was sent my first RAK! Here she is in all her glory.

Goddess of Tides Artwork by Jonathon Earl Bowser

I want to say thank you again to Amy, the lovely lady who sent me this RAK. I love this chart so very much (and one of it's companions in the series Goddess of the Vale) and can't wait to start this as one of my 2016 starts.

Thank you yet again from the bottom of my heart. Words really can't express the gratitude one feels when they receive a RAK. I hope everyone who reads this has had, or will have that same feeling.

My Current WIPs - September 2015

Hello!

Today I want to share my WIP (Work in Progress) projects with you. Some of you may have already seen them on my Instagram feed (@arcadiandancer) so I will try to keep things short and sweet. My next post will be all about my planned projects so look out for that in the near future as long as life doesn't get in the way.

Two quick notes before we get to that Read More link.

1.  I am planning on changing my Instagram username, but I can't come up with anything! Any suggestions are appreciated.

2. If you have watched Ashleigh's first Flosstube video, no I am not mad at her. I just laughed and shook my head :)

Introduction - Know Your Needleworker Tag

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Amanda and I have been a cross stitcher for over 15 years. I decided to start a blog so I could share my projects with you. In addition to my projects I'll share product reviews and tips and tricks I use while stitching.

Now that the boring part is over I thought I would start my blog with the Know Your Needleworker Tag that has been active on Flosstube (YouTube) and other social stitching networks. Click on Read More to check it out!
