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 …
Selecting the next Drawn Thread
*Note: I’m seeing I had several draft posts that never got published, mostly for lack of the pictures. I’ll put them up now as I can get them finished up, in the proper order I wrote them, so I can have an orderly account of the last months stitching thoughts! I was just so excited …

Soooo close!
I had time to really work on the Sampler of Stitches this weekend! Look how close I am! 7 motifs left, and about a dozen beads to sew on the basket. I keep forgetting to do that! Look how I REALLY committed by putting the date on there! Next to the Q is a quilt …
Back to a regular schedule?
Hello friends! Goodness it’s been touch and go here. I was making good progress on several things…in stitching, and in life, I thought, but it’s been pretty wild around here! I have started a home decluttering project. I really need to do this. We have lived in our home for 13 years now and have …
July 2023 Smalls SAL
Hello! I am giving you all a link up page, but I don’t have a small. We had a spontaneous vacation this month and I didn’t get it done. I will share it next month! It you managed to finish one, feel free to share below!
July Stitching
July got off to a wacky start with several one night stands with a variety of projects but I have finally settled down to my main stitches of the month. First is my attempt at a small this month, the Sampler Scissor Box from Famcy Work: I got the kit a while ago, and last …
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 …
