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.  

Stoney Creek Dog Bone Wisdom

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,  

Small Sal January 2016

January 2016 1st Small Sal

I am so excited.  Today is my first post in the Small Sal over at
Stitching Lotus  This is from JBW Designs, French-Country Mitten.
I used DMC 400.  I love this type of stitching, and have several more in my TODO bucket.



This is my in between new start.  LHN -- I am feeling the need to step out of my current life, and step into the old one.  The one where things were slow and simple.  I would love a Rotary Wall Phone in my kitchen with a super long cord, that was always tangled - and I could stretch into the other room to have a private conversation.  This is a feel good little stitching project.

It's almost February - my goodness....
