Small SAL July and other Stitching News


Here is my Small for July.  Ink Circles - Just CrossStitch Christmas Preview issue 2016.  I did this in the DMC colors and I just love this.  My kids are going to laugh when they see this - they always tease me because my trees are so tiny -- This is so perfect for me.  Thank you Heather at Stitching Lotus




Extra Extra:  My LNS has announced their 2017 Retreat.  I am so excited!!!!Simply Spooky (Designer Isi Abbatti Primitive Hare)   The 10th of March 2017.  I am putting my deposit down very soon.  I can't wait to see what she has planned.  I love my LNS.

Speaking of wish, I visited her today.  Just went to chat with the owner, Jan, and of course pick up some new stuff.  I rarely share my purchases, because I am off the hook when it comes to chart purchasing but today, why not.  I hope you can see them - Road Trip by Bent Creek, 3th of july bird by Heart in Hand - Saw this one over on Carols Stitching Dream  and I ordered it right away, and it arrived.  Also there is the New Reflections of Scotland - Ink Circles - have ordered the fibers - and really want to do this one, and last but so special by Samplers Not Forgotten - Tis Near Halloween, and it has my favorite - When witches go Riding !

Two more finishes - This little frog is from the SAL KLT Charting  I am doing these as single frogs - no lily pads - This little guy is on Silkweavers Solo 32 ct luguna - 1 x 1.  with Fiberlicious Yummy Fibers Midnight Forest.  Not sure if I will do all these frogs - but I really do like frogs at night when camping while they are croaking.  These frogs are a great way for me to try out some of my new threads from Fiberlicious and Jodyri Designs






And then there is my Summer Sampler.  Love it, and now I just have to create the wall hanging for my daughter by August 1.  I am so excited.  This is one of my favorite things I stitched this year even though it has some French Knots ---- And I did make them - they are all different sizes and a little off.  Thank you Floss Tube for doing your best to help me master.

  7. Love the tree Small finish. I always have small trees in my apartment - makes way more sense than a large one. Great new stash - love the Ink Circles. And well done on Summer finish - it will make a lovely and colourful wall hanging.

  8. The small tree is so sweet, we always have a large tree because we can! After years of a small house and a small artificial tree it's great to have a big real one!
    Nice new stash, it's always fun to treat yourself.

  10. I love the small tree finish - we always tease my parents on the size of their tiny artificial tree so this would be perfect for them too!
    Great new stash and awesome news about your retreat.
    I love the Summer sampler. Aren't French knots meant to be different sizes?!

  12. Aww... that little tree is so sweet :) And your Summer Sampler is looking lovely--that will be such a cute wallhanging. Good for you for doing the French knots--I still struggle with them, too, after all these years of stitching :)

    Enjoy your new stash--so glad you found the 4th of July bird!!
