In spite of all the upending of normal life these past few weeks I do have a few things to show you for the Smalls check in! First I finished my Grandma’s Mill Hill Patchwork mitten. It just needs its backing felt. I picked up a tiny little monogram fob project from La D Da…this is truly a small Small: […]
Most of my stitching this week has been on WTNT’s Pink Sparrow. It is just a very nice, easy piece to work on, I’ve found-lovely colors, good variety. The titular Pink Sparrow is in. He is not as pink as I thought, just that little spot on his head, but that’s ok. There is plenty of pink in this. I […]
It is my birthday later this month, so it truly would be a shame for me to not include a Gifted Gorgeousness post this month! I realize I never shared with you some very nice presents my husband gave me for Christmas! You may realize by now that I aspire to Adventurous Stitching. Now my eyes may be bigger than […]
It’s a framing month! I finally got around to ordering some frames for a few pieces that have been finished for a while and are deserving of proper display. Framing is always more time consuming and picky than I think it will be, but the results are always worth it. I just love seeing my projects on the wall. So […]
So I did pick up a new focus piece for this month, and it’s going along nicely! I decided to work on The Pink Sparrow Sampler from With Thy Needle and Thread. I have almost finished the first page (there are 4 pages in the pattern). Maybe I can get it done in a month! I am also finishing up […]
Welcome to the February 2020 Smalls SAL Check In! I got quite a bit of Smalls stitching in this month. I already showed off a couple Mill Hill ornaments and even squeezed in one more Snow Crystal! This one is Sapphire Snow Crystal. These snow crystals are super quick to stitch and very effective with the sparkly beads. Now I […]
I decided, finally, the I would just go ahead and focus on Frosty Knot Garden in February and not feel guilty about any other projects I had waiting so forlornly in my projects basket. I’m pleased I did, I really made good progress on it this month! It’s a very enjoyable stitch. At this point it is still all symmetrical […]
Thanks to Rachel, I have been motivated to FFO a few more smalls this month! I already showed you my 2 Mill Hill Santas… And here is the snowflake all finished. This is Mill Hill’s “Ice Crystal” from the Snow Crystals series. I finish them very simply, the way my Grandma always did. I hot glue a ribbon/cord on for […]
Every year, Jo of Serendipitous Stitching organizes a virtual Valentine’s exchange called “Secret Stitching Sweethearts.” All the participants email a Valentine’s (love, hearts, friendship) themed stitched piece to Jo, and she emails one out to each of us to put on our blog. Then we hop around to find out who received our picture and reveal ourselves as the Secret […]
I’ve really been enjoying Frosty Knotgarden! Here it is after another week of stitching: I also made up the Mill Hill snowflake I mentioned. There is very little to this one so it was basically a 3 session project for me. It needs trimming and the felt back. I’ve also been doing some “secret stitching” which will be revealed at […]
