2022 in Review

Happy New Year! After reviewing my photos. I found I stitched more than I thought I did this year! I participated in Carol’s Instagram challenge…12 in 22 ornaments which resulted in 10 new ornaments, 8 for Christmas, 1 for Easter and 1 for Halloween. I did also stitch 4 letters for Clare’s alphabet tree too so I guess I made […]

December 2022 Smalls Check In

Here it is, the very last Smalls Check In for 2022! Thanks to all of you who participate! Since I still have a number of bloggers joining each month, I will keep it going again in 2023, just the same as ever. Here is the new badge if you’d like to place it on your blog: My small this month […]

Some finishes and some WIPs

I haven’t updated you on some of my ongoing projects in a while mostly because I keep hoping there will be more to show if I wait another day or 2! Does anyone else do that? Well, I am guilty of it too often. Nonetheless, I do have some finishes to share, this one for 2 full weeks! Yes! I […]

FFO December 2022

Thanks to Rachel, one last time this year I have a FFO! This time it’s an old reliable stitch from Mill Hill…the Christmas Flamingo! Who doesn’t need a Christmas flamingo? We sure do because our littlest girl loves everything pink especially flamingos. She had a flamingo birthday last month. Here is her cake. A little less inspired than some of […]

A Finish! And November Plans

Oops! I forgot to post this last week! So I’m I’m back dating it! I finished Praise Jesus over the last weekend of October. I’m very happy with it. The several small stitches I’ve just done look so nice together I feel like I should frame them into a little wall collage. Now I need to pick a new small […]

Trick or Treat Blog Hop 2022

Happy Halloween! It’s time once again for another of Jo’s famous blog hops! If you are visiting by happenstance why not go back to Jo’s and start at the beginning so you can collect the letters for the spooky mystery phrase? Otherwise, read on! My seasonal stitching is Little Black Cat by Bent Creek. I’ve done several others in this […]

Smalls Check In: October 2022

It’s the 10th Smalls Check In of the year! Only 2 more to go! How can THAT be?! I finished my Dutch Birds. Ta Dah! I really loved that Firestone red. I’m so glad for a chance to showcase it so nicely! I’m so glad I didn’t give in to buying the “correct” color. I have plenty left if I […]

Little things

I’m enjoying stitching away on my little projects this month. I’ve nearly finished my Little Black Cat. It is from Bent Creek. I have no idea how I will finish it. Maybe a tiny frame and then I can sit it on the mantle with the fall decor. Though I don’t think I’m putting up fall decor this year as […]

September 2022 Smalls Check In

I needed every minute of the last hours of this “long” month (long because the last Friday is the last day of the month this month!) to finish my small! Here it is, How Great Thou Art by The Nebby Needle. This hymn reminds me of my Grandma and going to her Lutheran church with her, as well as her […]

July 2022 Smalls SAL Check In

For my Small this month, I used Jo’s People’s Choice-Pets Edition, as my inspiration to finish the stitching on a Chessie and Me project I started last year. I think it is called “Beneath the Bough.” This was supposed to be a fob. I decided it was way too big and I’d make a needlebook instead with the same picture, […]
