Maybe I should share some pictures so you can see how I&#8217;ve been using my stitching time, because truly it has been on the back burner these weeks.

I&#8217;d like this same pillow in a small size-this one is 9&#8243; square. Maybe a need a plain and a fancy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a back log of about 3 posts that need finishing and photos added. I guess I will put them all on at once after Christmas. Then you all can read a little history of my month of December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if anyone has a Small to share on New Year&#8217;s Eve, the link up will be there! I&#8217;m hoping for a calmer week next week! The Smalls SAL will continue as it has in 2022!
