June Small Sal and More

 This is my Finish for the Small Sal hosted by Stitching Lotus.  I am very happy I have posted a small for each month so far this year.  This is Primitive Star and it was published in Cross Stitch and Needlework Magazine. I switched the colors - the letters are Oatmeal and the Star and Border are Turkish Red.

 This is America Finished.  This is a Freebie from my LNS From Nebby Needle From May 2014, this link will get you close.

This is my update on the Red, White and Blue Nutcraker.  

And my last little item to talk about.  Jo from Serendipitious Stitching often shares her Scrap Book page finishes, and I really loved this idea.  I have never scrapbooked before but I had to try this. So I made one.  This is my Hello I finished earlier this year and it is really attached to this scrapbook page.  The colors of the phone are a little washed out - but I just really love this. I have it displayed in a 12 x 12 Shadow Box.

Now I am on a mission to find just the right pages to finish off very many smalls.  Thanks Jo.



June is over - July is bound to be full of Sunshine and Summer Stitching.

January is Over?

So true, So true.  Life passes quickly - so many days, so few memories.  Blogging will help me keep at the very least my stitching fresh - memories and the thoughts and reasons for each piece I choose to stitch - even if I never finish it - it was so very important and meant something the day I picked it up.


Another Finish for 2016   This was finished as a nice Phone Carrier Case. I think I may attempt to do this, But not sure if I will use it on a daily basis - I am afraid it will become a mess if I carry it around too much.

Hello

Cross Stitch Christmas From Hand and Heart

I will be starting one of these Nutcrackers for my 1st Ornament of the year.  I do like to do 12 - since I am a bit behind will have to double up.

This is my WIP for the Month of  February  Would love to finish the words, and the right side.  That would leave the bottom -- there is a ton of back stitching in this, which I will most likely not do all of it.  It depends on how it looks to me when the cross stitching is done.

I will also be working on Trilogy Springlogy -- Due to Stash Cash Limitations, I am doing this one on Fabric I have and DMC threads.   

Have not yet decided on my February Small but will share as the month goes on

Having kids and grandkids for dinner today.  Meal prep awaits me - 

Stay safe,
