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 […]

November 2022 Smalls Check In

Yesterday in the USA was Thanksgiving! My parents are here in Arizona for a visit. We had a wonderful feast! We truly have so much to be thankful for! I wanted to share a finish of the Sampler Etui needlebook, but it’s not done yet! But here is my progress. Maybe I’ll get it done this weekend. Then I can […]

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, […]

June 2022 Smalls Check In

It feels like we had a short month this month with the Smalls Check In falling on the 24th! Did that catch any of you unawares? It’s ok! You have a whole week to link up with this post! I was happy to finish my Blue Flower Pin Drum by La D Da this month. I love La D Da […]

May 2022 Smalls Check In!

Ahhh…It’s already time to check in with our May Small Stitches! I feel like this month has just FLOWN by. My goodness. Can it already be summer? My kids are done with school today and now get 2 months to goof off. My stitching productivity will probably plummet since I won’t be sitting in the school pick up line…but I […]

April 2022 Smalls Check In

For my small this month I finished up that little tiny bee project I shared with you a few months ago. I guess I put it aside and totally forgot it. I’m glad I remembered it as it only took 1/2 hour to finish up. That over one stitching with the hand spun/hand dyed silk was a bear. I will […]

March 2022 Smalls Link Up

It’s time for the 2022 March Smalls Link Up! I finished my Shepherd’s Bush Sheep Needle Case this month. I made it a quick start back in January and it was a quick finish this month. Here is the front… And the back! This project came from a kit with all the finishing materials. I have no excuse not to […]

February 2022 Smalls Link Up

Hello Friends! It is (past) time for the February Smalls Link Up! I’m so sorry this post is late! Several of my family members have been sick (not Covid!) and we had a big event last night (Friday) for the start of the softball season. I was in charge of the activities on the fun field and got totally preoccupied! […]

January 2022 Smalls Link Up

You maybe guessed based on the stitching I’ve shown this month that my small would be the Cottage Charm Stitcher’s Pocket by Milady’s Needle. I think it’s so sweet. It is really hard to capture but the fabric is a pretty green and the threads are silk in Tortoise Shell by Belle Soie. The stitching gets turned into a needle […]
