Today Queendom Website is 10 years old! It doesn't seem possible, but it is so: Queendom Website went live 10 years ago to the wonder and amazement of everybody around Cody and me. Cody did all t...

On June 1  I will celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Queendom Website. It doesn't seem possible that these 10 years have flown by. I began with this blog in 2006. My computer skills back then w...

This very evening I posted a photo of some antique needlework tools on my website. For some years now I have thought they were a slightly famous collection of needlework tools and I've asked my...

In the spring of 2008 I started the transition from computer-illiteracy to learning a bit about the e-world via my trusty little MacBook which I named MacSoph. I began this journey by signing up ...

Hard to believe that almost a month has gone by since I first posted a photograph of my Eleanor of Aquitaine on my website. The time is dwindling, the kits are dwindling. I am supposed to keep ...

It doesn't seem possible to me that 2016 ends tonight. Where did the time go? Wherever, it is gone, and it is a reminder that 2017, so full of promise now as I look ahead, will vanish almost as ...

I can't believe where the last months have gone. I keep turning around to see if they are really behind me. Truth: they are! For me this holiday season so far has been all about food! Sweet fo...

The last post I wrote was almost 2 weeks ago, when I was working overtime to prepare for my biggest needlepoint sale of the year. This year is special because it marks the return of perhaps my ...

Last August in Mid-Summer Sale I sold designs I have offered before. Featured in that sale were my miniatures of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Bess of Hardwick. My portraits are by far my most freque...

I've long forgotten when I stitched my first heart, although I remember which one it was. It was a 'Merry Christmas' Heart. How many have I stitched? I have no idea, but I know the answer is a lo...

I haven't had a sale of anything since February and a good number of my followers have been writing with requests for patterns from my past. So MacSoph (my trusty little MacBook Pro) and I have...

Lately I have had quite a few inquiries about patterns and kits for sale. Newbies to my website say they see designs of mine that they wish to buy but they can't find where to pay for them. Latel...

It has been a long time since I've posted on my Blog. I hadn't realized so much time had passed. I was on hiatus from webstuff and needlework for a month and a half this spring and during that ...

I have not written a post for my blog in the longest time. My work life has been in a bit of a whirlwind: I've been stitching madly and last October I ran a small sale that turned into a larger s...

Here we are, still in the heat of summer, but Labor Day has come and gone and soon there will be autumn's nip in the air. Summer is my least favorite season. I could say it is the summer weathe...

Today is my favorite day of the year, the Summer Solstice. Why? It is the longest day of the year and I love all the daylight hours, a great time for stitching. Today was also Diane Clements' b...
