A Small for August 2024

For my August small I finished the funky birdy from Moments of Glad Grace by Blackbird Designs. This past weekend we were camping and I finished it up in the beautiful cool air on top of Mt. Lemmon. “We” includes me and my 5 children ages 6-16, a friend and her family with husband and 4 children ages 1-14, and […]

July Small

I have an “instant gratification” stitch for a small this month. It’s Crowning Glory from Summer House Stitche Workes. I love the Slate Gloriana on the Straw Weeks. Very regal but also prim. My friend loaned me her chart after I was able to find the crown that you place the stitching into. Thank you, friend!! I’m so happy I […]

A teeny tiny finish

It took less than an hour to stitch up this tiny one inch square project from Old Colonial Designs…. It gets finished as a tiny horn book. You can put a magnet on it to create a needleminder or make it into a little scissor fob or ornament, which is what I did. Now isn’t that cute? I just need […]

May 2024 Small

I’m linking up with Rachel, Ten Hour Stitcher for the May Smalls SAL. I really wanted to finish the Jeannette Douglas Garden Box this month. It was just a delightful little stitch and I loved it. I did finish the bee skep sampler which is the largest of the components and so the stitching in this project is all done! […]

Fully Finished Objects April 2024

Only 4 days until Christmas friends, how can that be? If you are seeing this post with no or not very many pictures, you know things have been too crazy at my house to manage it, but hopefully that will not be the case! We are in the midst of our post-flood remodel and so in a calm moment before […]

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 make them up. I had […]
