Stitching, stitching, and more stitching! And I’m loving it all. I also interviewed a wonderful indie author who writes cozy romantasy. Check out our conversation on my Spotlight. Lots of medical follow-ups this month, and getting used to my five-year course of hormone blockers. Still, not really any complaints on the cancer front. Other than that, just using my time to stitch, get out, and walk in this crazy, gorgeous weather.

The wild horses are also out for a walk today.

I hope you enjoy these stitchy photos of my projects as much as I do… Click here and here for previous articles in my stitchy saga. Linking to shops where I can.

Keep in mind, variety is the spice of life. It’s not hoarding…

WIPs

What I’m kitting up for and can’t wait to start

Isn’t this stunning? It’s from Heaven and Earth Designs (HAED), featuring artwork by Ernie Francis. Just my cup of tea, gorgeous, colorful mixed media, a captivating geisha, and my favorite Japanese anime hiding in the background. But folks, this is full coverage, 90 DMC colors, and 20 x 25 inches when finished (stitching tiny stitches in every little square). I will need to put the unfinished work in my will.

I have eclectic tastes, eh? But aren’t these wonderful? (I’ll just restate it here. I am not a hoarder.)

Which Witchy Stitcher for an October Start?

However, I must finish these awesome WIPs first.

I also got Meg Black’s awesome book from Amazon. I’m drooling over Dracula’s House and Nevermore. There’s also a Poe bookmark to do.

Which Artsy Housewife after Cats and Cocoa?

Others I want to stitch, but down the road sometime… Sigh…

I’ll leave you with photos from my 80s and 90s stitchwork sprinkled throughout my house

Some newer ones. As you can see, some still need finishing… Working on it.

Thanks for letting me catalog my stitchworks, as they will likely end up in a landfill someday… or maybe, if they’re lucky, in a thrift store for some future stitchworks-appreciator to collect. I’m not being negative, just realistic, and it’s something I’ve given a lot of thought to lately…

Happy writing, reading, crafting, and stitching!

D. L. Lewellyn’s passion for writing began in 2020, following a summer of voracious, lockdown-induced reading in her favorite genre, paranormal romance. Besides her self-published books, her stories have appeared in anthologies, and more novels are on the horizon. Not surprising. Anyone who knows her will tell you she’s a dedicated multi-crafter. A peek inside her colorful, cluttered studio also gives you an idea. She enjoys blogging, chatting with indie authors on her Spotlight, and watching classic movies with her husband—a bowl of popcorn on her lap and her rescued fur babies at her feet.

“I cried, I laughed, and I was angry. The ride was so worth it! This series was my introduction to reading this genre. I have found this to be some of the best writing, story telling and follow through on all character paths of any prior reading of any genre.”
