I’m just going to pretend that I’ve been blogging regularly and share a little finish I had this weekend… It’s called Small Things from The Drawn Thread. I do still need to sew on the charm. I can’t find the little brass heart charm this came with, but I do have 2 other good choices, …
Autumn Splendor
I have a finish! It’s Autumn Splendor by With Thy Needle and Thread. This design was another coup de coeur for me, I had to buy it and stitch it right away, and I loved every moment. I believe I actually used a 32 count natural linen which was a very easy thing to stitch …
September 2023 Smalls Check In
My Small for this month is a little Blackbird Designs project which I was lucky enough to spot in a destash group. It is an old class project that makes a little scissor box and pin cushion. Here is the stitching: The fabric is 28 count which seems very coarse compared to my other recent …
August 2023 Smalls Link Up
Hello Smalls Stitchers! I finished a 2nd little berry in the Deck The Halls booklet from Blackbird Designs. It is called Sugarplums I think. I love the colors. So soft! The linen is Opal from Picture this Plus. I really like it for this project. Now that I’ve stitched 2 of the berries, I will …

Happy Fourth of July!
I have a sweet little finish this Fourth of July…Strawberry Liberty from Chessie and Me! I will probably finish it as a little pillow for my pillow bowl. I don’t have too many patriotic stitches so this will set the mood nicely for July! I hope all my fellow Americans have a wonderful relaxing day …
June 2023 Smalls Check In
We’re half way through 2023 and it’s time for the June Smalls Check In! Mine is no surprise…I finished the front cover of my Birds of a Feather needlebook from Stacy Nash: This bird is the cutest! It’s the reason I got the chart. It reminds me of the William Morris strawberry thief. I decided …
A Joyful Finish!!!
I’m so proud to present my Joyful Wold from The Snowflower Diaries!! I started it in January 2017 and finished June 20, 2023. Actually I finished stitching the months in December 2019 and then put off the border for an embarrassing 2-3 years. But none of that matters now because it is totally done!!! I …
Jane Plenderleath!
I didn’t do anything else this morning until I had finished Jane Plenderleath! I was so close I just had to. It was one more hour of stitching and Ta Dah! As I got to the end I went back and picked out several sets of letters to change them to my family initials. If …
March 2023 Smalls Check In
For my little bitty small for March here is a pin cushion designed by Indigo Rose. I do love the specialty stitches in her designs and the use of variegated silk. I bought this kit second hand with the lovely little Nantucket basket. It took maybe 3 short stitching sessions and finished in a half …
