2014 Smalls SAL - March

It is the last Wednesday of March, so it is time for the Smalls SAL. I worked on 3 small projects this month.

Here are the stitched pieces for Cardinal Tweet - Just Nan. I will show the completed photo during the Just Nan SAL update.



Then I did some more stitching last night on Oakley Owlet - Just Nan.



The 3rd project was the Spring/Easter exchange project but it is still a secret until April 12th.

IHSW March

It was another productive International Hermit Stitching Weekend. I finished my Spring/Easter Exchange project (won't be able to show photos until April 12th).
I also started another small project last week at the Cross Stitch Club. This is what I got done on Oakley Owlet - Just Nan.


This is what I accomplished over the weekend.

St. Patrick's Day

I hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day. Here is a project I stitched in 2009 for my Nana who was irish. It was returned to me last summer when she passed away. I thought of her today as I wore green, which was her favourite colour.

Just Nan SAL 2014 - February

I completed my Porch Garden Mice - Humbug. I got to try out my new Kreinik Corder and made my first cording. It is not perfect, but I'm happy with it. I used DMC variegated pink and blue floss for the cording.

2014 Smalls SAL - February update

This month I stitched on 3 small projects. I competed my Friendship exchange scissor case & fob. I wrapped it by using a heart shaped tin.


I finished cross stitching Porch Garden Mice, and even sewed it into a Humbug.





and stitched 2 more parts of my Garden Chair by Cat's Whisker's. The first photo is the front of the fob (cushion for the chair).


Back of the fob cushion. There is a spot to personalize with initials and the date completed. I'll stitch this at the end.


These are all the pieces needed. The first big shape is the back of the chair. You can also personalize this part. Not sure yet what I will put on the back. I just started stitching the drawer front.


If you are wondering, this is what the chair will look like when it is completed. Photo borrowed from The Cat's Whiskers Design Studios.
