Smalls SAL - October 2024

Hi all!

I'm so sorry, guys... I thought we had another Friday in October but realised today (Monday) that we don't! So I'm going to back-post this and pretend that...

It's the last Friday of the month, so time for the Smalls SAL.

Entries can be anything Small you have cross stitched during the month, be it an individual piece, part of a set, a portion of a big design, or even an unfinished Small if you haven't been able to complete it. All Smalls, or part(s) thereof, are welcome!



Once again, I have nothing Small to show, having not picked up a needle for two months now.

So it's straight over to you!

Please link up using the URL of your Smalls SAL post, with a title (usually your name) and a thumbnail. The link will stay open for 10 days.


Mister Linky's Magical Widgets -- Thumb-Linky widget will appear right here!

In a way I feel really bad continuing to run this SAL when the reason Mary handed it over was because she could not commit to a Smalls finish each month.

So, I think you will all agree that it's about time I gave myself a really good talking to and started stitching again. So that's what I'm going to do starting Monday.

I'll start with one of my Nordic Christmas designs as they are small and simple, and at least will give me something to show in November's Smalls SAL! I've set a target of 15 minutes per day to begin with but whether that leads on to anything else remains to be seen.

I also feel bad being away from blogland and emails for so long, so that's another thing I need to rectify. Fingers crossed.

If I don't appear before, I'll be back on 10th for the FFG SAL. 

Take care,
Rachel x

Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - October 2024

Hello!

It's already another 10th of the month so time for the Fully Finished Gallery SAL, the place to show your cross stitched FFOing achievements since your last link-up.



I may not be stitching etc at the moment but at least this SAL is keeping me on my toes regarding FFOing, even if it is only the tiniest of contributions!

This month is another Nordic Christmas Sampler, completed the same as last month's simple ornie with complimentary backing fabric and silver bling ribbon:



I guess you'll see the third one next month!


Now it's your turn.

Please link-up using the URL of your FFG SAL post and not the home page of your blog, adding a thumbnail of a finish and either your name or your blog name as the caption. The link-up will stay open for 10 days.
