November's Smalls Check-In

Hey Everything!  I hope everyone had a great November and to he USA, Happy Thanksgiving.

For this month's small, I went with a freebie from The Primitive Hare.  It was so much fun to stitch.  I used a piece of fabric from my stash and the called for threads.  I think I am going to finish it off as a pin keep for my basket.

Now I need to finish getting ready for Christmas.  I have one more tree to get up and then the rest of the decorations. I am happy that I have at least finished Christmas shopping, though I still need to wrap everything. 

Instead of rambling more, I need to go and get some more decorating done.

Until Next Time

Happy Stitching

October's Smalls SAL

Hello All!  Just a quick post with my October's Smalls Piece.  My daughter choose Primitive Christmas Sleigh from Country Rustic Primitives for me to stitch. It was such a fun, quick stitch.  I used a piece of scrap fabric from my stash and the called for DMC.

Now to decide if I want to continue stitching for Christmas or if I want to stitch a few things for Thanksgiving.  Decisions, Decisions!

Until Next Time

Happy Stitching

2013 Stitching Goals

I have spent the last week pondering what my stitching goals for 2013 would be and I think I have finally came up with a plan.

I proclaim 2013 to be the year of smalls for me.  I would love to be able to fill my baskets and shelves with pieces I have stitched and I figured this would be a great way to do it.  My plan is to stitch 2 Halloween, 1 Christmas and 3 monthly themed smalls each month.  I know it may sound like alot, but I am thinking if they are smalls, they hopefully shouldn't take to long to stitch up.

When I am done with the smalls each month, I am going to stitch Autumn on Marigold Lane and Fancy Blackett Brooms from Pineberry Lane.

As you can see from my previous two posts, I have stitched one Halloween and One Christmas small so far.  I started Season of Love from LHN last night, but there was not enough to warrant a picture.  I will share that next time.

What are your stitching goals this year?  I would love to hear them.

Until Next Time

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my friends out there. I hope Santa brought you lots of happiness and stash!

Cranberry Tree

Another quick finish to share before Christmas. I was going to start Lizzie Kate A Little Christmas, but Talia, saw Cranberry Tree and wanted me to stitch it up. I can't say no to a precious face.

Here is Cranberry Tree from SamSarah. It comes as a kit. I changed the fabric out to be a brighter yellow, but you can't tell that from the picture. I used the threads and button that came with it. It will finished into a pincushion and put in the tin that came with it. Hope you enjoy it!

Until Next Time
Happy Stitching
