Smalls SAL 2015 February Check in...

Hi everyone,

Only three day's late with my Smalls SAL check in, although I must admit some of these Smalls may actually belong to January but I just never had time to check in last month.

The same goes for my Halloween Ornie SAL check in - the last day to check in for February and I didn't have a chance to do last month's check in either.

Anyway, here goes, let's start with Halloween....


January:

Summer Witch

28 count Linen

Various threads

Free design by Nina from The Snowflower Diaries

February:

Halloween Snow Globe

28ct Linen

Various threads

Freebie from Gazette 94

Smalls SAL:                                    (Of course, both of the finishes above count as Smalls, too)

Love  - Little Sheep Virtues by LHN

28 ct Cocoa

Using suggested threads

Now, these last several made an appearance a couple of post's ago on my GG post but here they are again if you missed that post:

Brook's Books Stitcher's Alphabet "J for Japanese embroidery"

Lizzie Kate's "Life's a Stitch" (this is double GG as it was not only a TP but it will be gifted to a friend).

JBW's "Wedding Bells":

Brook's Books Stitcher's Alphabet "K for Knitting"

"Counting" by The Primitive Hare

Pineberry Lane Freebies:  (sorry, I cannot seem to find the links right now and it is very grey here today but the fabbie is a bit more blue and the beads do sparkle more normally)

So, that is all for February for me!

Now onto March for all my stitching commitments, what will you be up to in this new month?

hugs, 

FNSI and IHSW round up...

Well, I didn't get as much crafty stuff done as I would have liked this Friday night and weekend (isn't that often the way) as I got caught up in Wedding stuff and Christmas celebrations.  Both of which are fun things to do, so I can't complain.

I did finish the stitching on the ring cushion for the wedding and have chosen the backing fabric (one of my favourites from my stash and I did that cool thing again of just putting my hand in the fabric box and pulling out the perfect fabric - I love it when that happens) and purchased the ribbon for tying the rings to the cushion:

Then, I stitched some more on my Little Sheep Virtues SAL: Love.  I am doing this SAL with  Sarah, Lija and Anne.

Last night we had our yearly Christmas get together with some very good friends.  We sat out on the deck and we were rewarded with this wonderful sunset.

Then, on the way home tonight I saw Melbourne Town Hall, all wrapped up like a Christmas present:

That is all for now, one and a half days left of work for the year and less than three weeks to the wedding!  Yikes!

I hope that you are all having a great lead up to Christmas,

hugs,

.... and the Christmas stitching continues....

... as does my Little Sheep Virtues SAL.

This is the Little Sheep Virtues SAL I am doing with I am doing with Sarah, Lija and Anne. I am now working on "Love"

.

(sorry, for some reason all of my photos are looking washed out today - must be the grey, old day we have so far today).

Then, I have been stitching on

This is Raggedy Tree - stitched on 28 ct silk/linen and I changed some the threads.

... and then I started on  Christmas Stocking:  again, 28 ct silk/linen and a few thread changes .  This still has some branches, a border and the words Bah Humbug to be added.

Well, that is all from me today.  How is your Christmas stitching going?

hugs,
