I’m a little late today with creating the Smalls Check In! Sorry about that! I’ve been enjoying slowly getting back to my stitching this month. There’s just so much fun stuff to work on, I’ve been in a sort of chaos-unfocused mode! But I did make a start on one of my favorite Nashville releases…Stacy’s Nash’s Birds of a Feather […]

For my little bitty small for March here is a pin cushion designed by Indigo Rose. I do love the specialty stitches in her designs and the use of variegated silk. I bought this kit second hand with the lovely little Nantucket basket. It took maybe 3 short stitching sessions and finished in a half hour, no sewing, just coaxing […]
I’m really proud of my FFOs this month because they were challenging and they came out well. First up is Philanthropic Pumpkin from Hands On Design. I’m so grateful to my stitching friend for loaning me her chart! Thank you dear! Coming up with the right color trims was tricky, and ultimately I comprised on color, but it worked out […]
Hello! Here we are at the end of February and it is again time to check in with our smalls! You probably remember me mentioning several times I would finish a medium small this month, Rosehips and Ivy. Well…I did finish it… but I still had time for another one! Here is Acorn Harvest from Brenda Gervais…and it’s not just […]

Now…If you participated in the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop you will have seen my FFO already! It […]
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 […]
Merry Christmas!! Here is my seasonal smalls display of red and green. I love how well they coordinate! It makes me happy to see this every morning on my hall table. I hope you all had a happy celebration! We did indeed, with the slight wrench of Covid diagnoses in our family (not me, yet, but 3 of the 7 […]
Glitter! I love a little sparkle on my stitching, as you’ve probably noticed! All the same none of that sparkle is “glitter” per se, but much of it gives a glittery effect! It’s good to have this theme in December too, because that’s when I get out many of my sparkly pieces! Here are some favorites… Let It Snow Biscornu […]
We are halfway to Christmas, Friends! I hope you are having a good, peaceful Advent!

I have these cute little ornaments which my mom finished for me… And this […]
