December 2021 Smalls Link Up

I hope all of you have been enjoying these last days of the year, especially if you’ve been celebrating the holidays! And I hope you’ve all been able to fit some stitching in to your days during this busy time of year! I have something to share…it’s not really a small, but it’s all I’ve got! I finished up Just […]

October Smalls

For this month’s Smalls check in, I got 2 little things done. First, I finished off Christmas Fruit Basket by Threadwork Primitives, which I had started on vacation earlier this month. I stitched it with almost all the called for colors on some Zweigart that I dyed myself with coffee. Some of my dye lots are quite different from those […]

September Smalls Check In

How can it be the end of September already?! How are we 3/4 of the way through 2021? I heard a theory about the perceived passages of time. The older you get the faster time seems to go because each moment is a smaller fraction of your overall lifespan than it was when you were younger. That is why summer, […]

August 2021 Smalls Check In

I was inspired this month to stitch up some very small smalls for the August SAL. They stitched up so quickly I didn’t have time for a progress picture so I saved them for you. First I did a little Shepherd’s Bush fob, I think it is called “Blooms.” It is very bright and cheery! It is a little big […]

July 2021 Smalls Check In

It’s time again for our Smalls Check In! Can you believe it is been 5 whole weeks since last we met? I enjoy these months were we have extra time. Or rather I take advantage of them to get a few more stitches! This month is unusual for me too because for the first time I am not actually at […]

June 2021 Smalls Check In

Here we are at the end of June, halfway through the year! Here in Arizona, you’ve maybe read in the news that it’s been incredibly HOT! Yes, I think over the last week we had 5 days in a row where it was over 117, and my car info even said 122 on 2 days! Whew, it is hot in […]

May 2021 Smalls Blog Hop

I have the teeniest, tiniest smallest small to show you. I stitched my initials for the back side of the peacock purse. It had to be done, so I made it my small. And I’m not sure this counts because it is not actually a finished project, but I did finish the satin stitching on the last wing of the […]

April 2021 Smalls Check In

My small this month is the little Victoria Sampler Beyond Cross Stitch kit I am making into a box top for my daughter’s First Communion/Confirmation. It’s a sweet little thing! The pulled stitches were easy once I figured out the rhythm and they turned out so pretty I think. I have been unable to find the identical box I used […]

March Smalls Check In

I finished Vintage Mini Pinwheel by Threadwork Primitives to share with you for the Smalls check in this month. It will be an easy FFO (a round pinwheel) and I even found some perfect little pins to stick in it. You’ll see it again soon for the April FFO gallery. What have you been working on this month?

February 2021 Smalls Check In

For my small this month I’m sharing the little piece I made for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop on Valentines Day. The recipient of my stitched Valentine was Astrid of Dragon Stitches. I had stitched it just for this event so it would be a surprise I had not shared before! And now it’s doing double duty for my […]
