Hello all!
It's the last Friday of the month so time for the Smalls SAL. Thank you, Mary, for continuing to host this fun little SAL. Pop over to Mary's Blog to see what other participants have been stitching in the way of Smalls this month.
I know I missed the last three/four months of 2022, but 2023 is a New Year and I am hoping things will return to normal. At least January is off to a good start, and I completed eight - yes, eight! - little advent projects (I'd only intended to do two!) As a way of getting me back into stitching and, as you might have guessed, these are very very very addictive!

So far so good, then, although being small and monochrome certainly helped!
Some of them have been adjusted slightly because of not stitching the numbers; I prefer them as just Christmas-related rather than Advent-specific projects.
Next month's Small(s) will be from the Advent Calendar again, although don't know which one(s) or in which colour(s) as I'm selecting them at random.
Take care,

ReplyDeleteThose are really cute! I love that you're doing them in different colors.
ReplyDeleteThese look great! I love the way you’ve finished them so it looks like you have stitched the white background. Without having to do that!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! Great colour choices, too.
ReplyDeleteRachel I love those!! They are so cute and I can see how you could get addicted to stitching them. Congrats on completing EIGHT!!
