January Small complete

Here is my framed Poinsettia House:

It was a lot of stitching for a small but I LOVE the way it turned out.

Thanks Laura for hosting the Year of the Smalls. I've got my supplies all ready and hope to begin February very soon. The silks are just yummy:))

This is great Brenda! Love that crackle frame you chose. I've always loved houses with cute doors like Pointsettia House.

I'm just ordering both the Jan & Feb projects now but can't wait to start.

Lovely finish Brenda. Love the frame you chose, it compliments the 'wintery' design. I'm half way finished with my Poinsettia House, it's been a fun stitch so far.

Why Smalls?

Like me, I am sure that you have two tons of samplers to stitch. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to have so many big projects to work on.

I was daydreaming about having a basket of pin cushions and ornaments one day. Then, being the nerd that I am, I declared that 2012 would be the Year of Smalls!

Then I took it a step further. Wouldn't it be fun to get us all whipped up into a frenzy of smalls???

So, here is the scoop, every month on the 15th I will announce a new small that we can all ooh and ahh over and stitch together!!!

I conspired with my LNS owner, Cathy, of Inspired Needle and she has kindly agreed to have the charts available at her store and she is even going to kit them up!! So, you can either order just the chart or the whole kit and kaboodle from Inspired Needle in Lemont, Illinois.

Needless to say I am just thrilled and I hope that the year of smalls will catch on and become just as exciting for you too!
