Smalls SAL link-up - May 2025

Hi all!

It's the last Friday of the month so welcome to 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!

It seems that I'm on a roll of stitching just one small Nordic Advent piece each month, and this month is no exception. For May I chose the Mitten which, as usual has been altered slightly to omit the number:

Nordic Advent day 10 - Mitten by Zindagi Designs (etsy)

Stitched on 16ct White aida with pearl/iridescent flecks

Started - 1st May 2025

Finished - 20th May 2025

Total Stitching Time - 5 hours 40 minutes

Now it's your turn.

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 until 9th June.

Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - May 2025

Hello all!

Here we are again! It's the 10th of the month so time for the Fully Finished Gallery SAL. This is the place to show your cross stitched FFOing achievements since your last link-up.

The link-up for this SAL opens on the 10th of each month and stays open for 10 days so you can join in whenever you're ready.

I admit that I was not at all organised this month, finishing this little piece late last night! I'd been thinking about it for the last fortnight, so knew what I wanted to do, only to change my mind - not a good thing to happen just before a deadline! Happily, I'm pleased with the outcome; nice and simple, using mottled red and blue card to focus in (a bit like looking through a multi-rimmed telescope, or even a porthole) rather than detract from this lovely landscape which is, of course, Mount Fuji.

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 remain open for 10 days, closing at 6am UK time on 20th May.
