So, what Smalls can I show off to you, I have a
Let's start with April and May from one of the SALs that I am doing this year - Rainbow Gallery's 2004 Cross Stitch Surprise series (January to December).
Oooops! Forgot to add the kitty cat!
I have also finished "A Spot of Spring" (another The Drawn Thread design) for my "Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL" SAL, which I am doing with dear Jo.
Lots of beading on this one, too, I even found a beaded pale pink button to use as the flower!
Next up is my version of "You are so loved", a gorgeous freebie from The Snowflower Diaries, which I changed to "You are so blessed" and stitched for my Memento Box. You can read more about this in my this post.
.... and some more pieces for the windows of my Memento Box....
This little house is from this sampler:
... and the sweet little fox is from this Sampler book
I also stitched a version of this freebie from The Primitive Hare ....
Phew! That is a lot of Smalls this month! I think that I am quite impressed with myself, really!
... and to finish off, here is May's TUSAL report - the pile of ORTS is growing!
You can check out everyone else's TUSAL report by checking out this post on DaffyCat's blog and scrolling down to the comments section.

Wow, you managed to do so much stitching! I'm impressed too :-)
I love the little April stitch and the memento box is wonderful, great change of the wording to Blessed. I'm just starting to add or change words, I love how it personalizes your pieces. I'm impressed with all the stitches too! Mary
Smalls galore for you Kaye!! Great finishes :)
Wonderful stitching Kaye. I especially like Spot of Spring. Your King and Queen are adorable.
I absolutely love Rainbow Gallery's May design and addition of the little cat is purrfect.
First Snow is pretty.Lovely stitching Kaye.
Congrats on all of the cute finishes Kaye. You have been busy.

Oh my Kaye you have been stitching up a storm! So many lovely stitches and I love them all. But, I especially like the May stitch...gardening stitches always catch my eye. I just finished Spot of Spring myself and loved that one as well. I agree You are loved is such a beautiful stitch and I especially like how you changed it to blessed...may I borrow that idea? Keep up the great work...it was a joy to see them all. RJ @ stitching friends forever
Nice to see your stitching. You have been busy. I too am stitching Needlework ABC`s by LHN. Happy Stitching.
Goodness, Kaye! That is a lot of smalls--and all so cute, too! I do love that May one and the Spot of Spring, especially. Drawn Thread designs just seem to be capturing my heart these days. I just wish they didn't call for so many expensive silks!
So much stitching! So many pretty designs! The memory box is lovely. I really like the look of stitchery mounted in/on nice wooden boxes. You deserve to be very proud of all your work.
Such beautiful stitching Kaye. Seeing it makes me want to cross stitch. I can't do it on line like you though...Really love May xx
I really like the April design. I have done the Drawn Thread design too in the past, but it was for an exchange, and I was just thinking the other day that I would like to do it again for myself. x
Wow lots of lovely stitching .
You have been a busy lady.
What a lot you've gotten done! That calendar is adorable! And I love the one from Snowflower Diaries-I have to do that one myself! Nice work!
I'm clearly going senile, another blog post I thought I'd commented on! beautiful work Kaye, love the two drawn threads and the rainbow gallery months. all really pretty stitches.
Everything truly looks wonderful, I especially love April! Although May looks good too, it's got a cat!
Gosh you have been busy with the smalls this month!
Spot of Spring looks totally different with all your bling on it!
I love the dotty fabric you used for May.
The memento box is growing nicely too, I look forward to seeing the finished box in all its glory.
That's a lot od smalls that you show here, Kaye. And I love each of them.
Isn't that Rainbow Gallery monthly series gorgeous? I have stitched several of them and as I don't have any of the called for threads I just choose threads from my stash and that's a big part of the fun.
Beautiful small stitching! You've definitely been busy. I can't wait to see your memento box all finished! :D
