Winding down the evening with my @obviousstate recycled notebook, my @blackwing 16.2 Ada Lovelace pencil and some articles on the environmental impact of Covid medical waste for my blog. Good night and have a great week! #beavoiceforthevoiceless #conservationthrougheducation #whwf1 #stefaniepowers #teachingabouttheenvironment #iamavoiceforthevoiceless

This month is the beginning of the designer focus challenge created by @garon_stitchery — January’s focus is on #noracorbettdesigns and even though I had started Queen of Freedom a few years back, I fell in love with with this pattern when it debuted late last year. It’s is Snegurocka, the snow maiden. According to Russian fairy tales, a childless woman makes a daughter of snow. Snegurocka wants to love a shepherd but because her heart is cold, she can’t feel love. She begs her mother for help, and reluctantly her mother agrees to help her. When Snegurocka finally feels love, it warms her heart and she disappears into a mist. What drew me to this project (and most of Ms. Corbett’s patterns) are the rich colors and the sparkle of the beads. I’m stitching it on 30 count Old Salem Linen from #theprimitivehare and I’m using all the called for threads. #miribiliadesigns #sneguročka #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #needleworkersofinstagram #krienikmetallics #caronwaterlilies #millhillbeads

Since church is closed today and my new laptop hasn’t yet arrived for Zoom, I decided to make today a stitchy day. First up is January’s #birdcrushclub by the always lovely and talented @lindystitches - as a birdwatcher, it was a no-brainer to join this year’s stitch along. Stellar’s Jays are native to the west coast and I’ve seen a few on @thedailyjames IG account. They are part of the Corvid family, which includes crows and ravens—they’re wicked smart and gorgeous. I’m using an16 count Aida from #fortnightfabrics. #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #needlework #birds #birdloversofinstagram

Yep. I’m always on the naughty list. Not sure that’s a bad thing😁 #sundaymorning #coffee #truthinadvertising #thenaughtylistismorefun #youlovemeanyway

Does this magnificent beauty remind anyone else of @officialstefaniepowers ?? No? It’s just me? I’m ok with that! #stefaniepowers #stefaniepowersfan #noracorbettdesign #red
