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 summer I found the oval […]
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 today, enjoying beautiful summertime and […]
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 to use this stitch and […]
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 feel relieved to have such […]
Oh deer, a new sampler
I was very sick last week with something like the flu…it wasn’t Covid…but still I quarantined away from the family because we didn’t need more people coming down with the awful thing I had! The only upside was after the achiness left my hands (2 days I couldn’t stitch the aches were so bad!) I had some good stitching time. […]
Another basket and even one more bird!
Last weekend I was camping with my 2 bigs kids and some friends. I needed a tiny project for down time. I selected Strawberry Liberty from Chessie and Me. Here is how it’s going. Maybe it will be my June small. One of them. Because I had yet another bird to stitch! I had to make the last part of […]
Bird Progress and A June Plan
I had a good weekend stitching Mary Amelia’s Bird. I went from here: To here: To here over 3 days. Not too bad! It is going quicker than I thought. I do not love stitching the 2 strands of DMC on the 36 to get the coverage I would like. It looks ok but not as neat. If had been […]
Another bird
Good morning! School is out. Wheee! I think, at the beginning at least, I like school being on summer break as much as the kids, with nowhere to hustle off to first thing on a Monday morning. Last night I watched The Attic’s flosstube. It is the only flosstube I watch because I need to know what the customers calling […]
May 2023 Smalls Check In
I’m a little late…that’s the theme of my life these days…but I have a small for you this last Friday of May…it is another element of the Stacy Nash Birds of a Feather needle book. Now isn’t that cute with all those different birdies? I do the last big bird in June, my favorite element of the project. Save the […]
