Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! I hope you all had a wonderful day and were able to check in with loved ones even if you could not be with them this year. We had a nice day, just our family, DH, me and the 5 kids. We watched the Macy’s parade in the AM (I cried a little […]
My 1st small finish this month was unexpected and not what I planned! I needed a project to grab quickly and take along with me as I knew I would be waiting a while, and it turned into one of my smalls for this month! I have finally finished my crewel rocking horse ornament from Jiffy Stitchery! If you remember, […]
It wasn’t too hard to finish up my small for this month! This is the Summer Garden Needlebook by Stacy Nash. The kit came with the cardboard ovals, batting, fabric, and ribbon. I’m so glad not to have to cut my own ovals! I made a round needlebook from JBW earlier this year so I’m familiar with this style of […]
Hours after I posted this I realized I forgot something quite important to share! So I am updating this post to share it! Today (August 28) is my 4 year blogging anniversary! When I started this blog I was very skeptical of myself. While the idea of the blog appealed to me, I do have a hard time sticking with […]
I didn’t really stitch on smalls this month, more like mediums, and I *almost* finished them. The first is not finished because yes indeed, I did run out of light pink silk. Here she is…just a couple dozen stitches shy of completion…Jane Marshall 1857 from Hands Across the Sea: Don’t you just love those 2 floral bands? They are stunning. […]
I finally finished the stitching on the Let It Snow biscornu from Faby Reilly. It is beautiful but I did not love stitching it. I’m not going to list all the reasons why, I’m just going to enjoy that it’s done! I’ve made several biscornus so I’m expecting this to be a cinch to finish off. Hopefully you’ll see the […]
Welcome to the May 2020 Smalls Check In! I hope everyone got some good stitching in this month! How are things going in your corners of the world? We are not quite emerged from our isolation…mainly due to personal comfort. We are a bunch of homebodies around here! Maybe next month we will go out! Here is my small for […]
Hello, hello! It’s the end of April! Time to show off the Small(s) you’ve stitched this month! Here is mine, a tiny Janlyn kit called Garden Gnome. He came out pretty cute! Time to hunt for a tiny frame! This is not my usual thing as you know, but it is for someone else so I was glad to make […]
In spite of all the upending of normal life these past few weeks I do have a few things to show you for the Smalls check in! First I finished my Grandma’s Mill Hill Patchwork mitten. It just needs its backing felt. I picked up a tiny little monogram fob project from La D Da…this is truly a small Small: […]
Welcome to the February 2020 Smalls SAL Check In! I got quite a bit of Smalls stitching in this month. I already showed off a couple Mill Hill ornaments and even squeezed in one more Snow Crystal! This one is Sapphire Snow Crystal. These snow crystals are super quick to stitch and very effective with the sparkly beads. Now I […]
