Smalls SAL - July 2024

Morning all!

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!

This month I have nothing completed, but thought I'd show the progress I have made on the April Biscornu. A tiny bit each day, and it's gradually getting there. I love the cheerful colours on this one:

Now it's over to you.

Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - July 2024

Hello!

It's the 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.

For the third month in a row I have made a scrapbook page of one of the US National Parks by TeenyWeenyXStich on etsy. This time it was the turn of Rocky Mountain, FFOd more or less the same as the previous two showing its location, entry sign, map and icons:

Having now scrapbooked three out of my four US National Parks, I think it's a foregone conclusion what will be appearing as next month's FFO!

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.

PS I'm so sorry for missing last month's Small's SAL post; I haven't been near my blog since this time last month (an my emails for much longer) and the fact I am the host totally slipped me by. I'll do a double post this month.

PPS Partly because of the above, I think it's about time I pulled myself together. I've got a couple more weeks of school, then a six week break for the school summer holiday. With the Olympics being timed perfectly at the beginning, it'll be a good time to refocus and regroup and any other buzzword which means getting back to 'normal'. I don't know if this will include the Olympic and Paralympic Stitching Challenges I had planned, but maybe throwing myself into those will get me back on track. We'll see...

Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - June 2024

Hello!

Good grief, another month gone, so it's time for June's edition of the Fully Finished Gallery SAL, the place to show your cross stitched FFOing achievements since your last link-up.

I only managed to FFO one thing again this month - another scrapbook page of one of the US National Parks as charted by TeenyWeenyXStich on etsy. This time I chose Grand Teton.

I did the same as last month - printed off a map and a few icons related to Grand Teton National Park and stuck them on a piece of torn paper mounted on card. Again, the arrow on the map points to the Park, which has been highlighted with a tiny white pin:

(photo to follow because I can't find it anywhere!)

Two of these National Parks down, two to go!

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.

Smalls SAL link-up - May 2024

Morning all!

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!

As with April, for May I have nothing again, which is awful considering I've just taken over the hosting, but that's life at the moment.

So, again, this SAL is being handed 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.

Please stick with this SAL and with me... I will read blogs and leave comments, and read and reply to emails at some point, just not quite yet.

Hoping everything is OK with everyone and blog-land.

Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - May 2024

Hello again!

Another 10th of the month is here again so it's time for May's edition of the Fully Finished Gallery SAL, the place to show your cross stitched FFOing achievements since your last link-up.

This month I've got something totally different to show. I was very much hoping for four, but one is a start and will indicate what I have planned for the remaining three.

This is Grand Canyon National Park, one of the US National Parks as charted by TeenyWeenyXStich on etsy, stitched for last year's Mischievous March, and now completed as an 8"x8" scrapbook page.

All I did was print off a map of US National Parks and a few icons related to Grand Canyon National Park (which I've probably broken copyright laws for since they are pictures of a fridge magnet and various commemorative sew on patches) and stick them on a piece of torn paper mounted on card. The arrow on the map points to the Park, which has been highlighted with a tiny white pin. Et voila...

I've printed off the icons etc. for the other three US National Parks I've stitched so, in theory, they shouldn't take too long to FFO. Famous last words!

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.
