This has been such a fun and motivating SAL this year! Thank you so much, Heather, for offering us something that resulted in so much work done! I feel like I really accomplished a lot! Without further ado, here is my last small for the year, Little House Needlework’s Quaker Birds ornament, in which I …
Two More Ornaments To FFO
I’m zooming in on completion of 2 more ornaments for the tree this year! First I have the Little House Quaker Birds which I did because it is my smallest LH chart and I knew I could get it done quickly. I changed the colors as inspired by another stitcher who did a similar colorway …
November Smalls SAL Check in
(updating to comment that this is my November Smalls SAL entry over at Stitching Lotus!) Well, you know I just love my Mill Hill ornament kits! And I finished off the two I had showed you last time. Thank goodness for tinier needles! I got that beading done much better! Here’s “Ye Old Santa” And …
A little interruption!
My stitching has been interrupted a bit as I hinted at earlier! This WIP was finished November 10! But she sleeps a lot and I continue to make some progress on little things… Last year I stitched this design from Lindsay Lane, Wishes do to Heaven Aspire. I love how sweet it is. But I …
When all else fails…
Follow the directions! I wasted a huge amount of time yesterday trying to improve a process that would have worked great if I had just trusted it a bit more from the beginning. I prefer to sew things up with the machine because I feel like it is so much neater and more secure. But …

Pretty little things
I have 2 things to show you for the Smalls SAL this month! My thread came in so I finished up Tiny Nativity: Then…I made the Big Mistake I knew well to avoid. However I have not make this mistake before so I thought I could get away with it. I sprayed it a smidgen …
On being irresponsible
I finished X-Mas in my Heart! And I am just waiting for “honeycomb” from my LNS to finish the border of Tiny Nativity: It’s so cute-just 1 1/2″ square! I want to find the mini-est frame for it. Now to FFO… I have lots of things on my to-do list so of course I started …
Two little finishes and Three little starts
I just love smalls. It is so satisfying to finish something! Here is what I got done last week: A pair of Mill Hill skates for Daughter #1 (I will make it again right away for Daughter #2 but in purple) And the Threadwork Primitives Quaker Birds Pinwheel: I bought the backing fabric this week …

September Smalls
Well, it is very frustrating to have followed all the instructions and gone through a lot of effort to get it right and then things just don’t work out! I ordered the specified box from Hobby Lobby for Spring Arose and my piece is TOO BIG to fit on it. I double checked. It’s the …
