It’s the penultimate Smalls check in of 2021! Here we are again friends! I finished the Mill Hill cupcake for my sister in law. I am definitely making this one again for me. I didn’t get to the monogram yet for that Sajou box. I wanted to keep working on the Bargello Roll. It’s getting so close! I have to […]
Can it be the 3rd Monday or November already? It is! In the USA it is Thanksgiving this Thursday. After Thanksgiving I spend the rest of the year attempting to apply the brakes as we rush towards Christmas, hoping to maintain a sense of peace and calm through Advent. But with the kids’ excitement, and end of year activities (Oldest […]
I loved having a Bucket List of projects for 2021. Now of course I didn’t get to everything but I also found I didn’t want to! Sometimes stitching something not on my list was more appealing at the moment! And I did want to keep up with my smalls and a few other “on a whim” stitches to mix it […]

I don’t think they read my blog (if you are a family member reading my blog stop now so you don’t spoil your […]
Oh boy, I have a lot of FFOs to share this month so I’m making 2 posts! First up are the framed pieces. I like to get frames from Hobby Lobby and frame things myself. They have been out of “good” frames for a long time due to supply issues but when I was in last month they were finally […]

For this month’s Smalls check in, I got 2 little things done. First, I finished off Christmas Fruit Basket by Threadwork Primitives, which I had started on vacation earlier this month. I stitched it with almost all the called for colors on some Zweigart that I dyed myself with coffee. Some of my dye lots are quite different from those […]
