So disappointed

I went to my LNS today to purchase the Poinsetta House pattern with hopes of stitching this week-end.  Howver, she had sold all of her copies.  So I think my plan is to wait until the next project is announced and order them both at the same time.  My LNS is about 40 minutes away and I don't get the chance to get over there very often.  So I will pull a project from my stash and stitch on that this week-end.

Just a Reminder

Just wanted to pop in to say that you don't have to finish any of the smalls within a month......just stitch at your own pace and have fun!!!


You can stitch all or just a few of the smalls that are selected.  


This is a no pressure, just for fun blog!


I am so happy that you all are here!!!!


love

HAPPY NEW YEAR OF SMALLS!

hello friends - I see some familiar faces here.

I found this blog thru Laura and thought it was great to have something small to work on this year in between the huge Ann Dale that our sampler guild is doing as an SAL. 

I ordered from Cathy at Inspired Needle and she was ever so helpful as always.  She was out of the 36ct linen in the color called for so I changed my color to Days Gone By so it will be a bit different.  Doubt I will be able to finish by the 15th but we'll see.

OMGOSH - Vonna did it again with her absolutely gorgeous finishing and over one stitching - she truly did make it "a small".  Love your creativity Vonna, YGG and the girls ornaments are lovely as well.

I think it will be great fun to participate in this blog and get to know some you better and meet some new friends too. 

if you don't already "follow" my blog - please check in on it when you can.

Happy Stitching Smalls in 2012 !

Hi, Stitching Friends

Hi, stitching lovers.  I just found this group this morning and am excited to join.  I was in a flurry to be able to start Poinsettia House - I know I have it in my stash somewhere - but then when I read further down the blog and saw that the new design would be announced on the 15th, I decided to wait for that.  I love the Poinsettia House, but I know I don't have all the CC's for it, and since I am a very slow stitcher and have other things going, I decided to wait in anticipation of what will be announced next.

I look forward to watching your progress and different finishing ideas.  Thanks for letting me be a part of this group.

Newbie....

Like others I have been lurking in the shadows for sometime. After seeing Vonna's work I just had to join and hope that I can be half that good when I go up. LOL I hope to get all my supplies soon and get started. Wish me luck I am a very slow stitcher.

introduction

I have been a lurker of so many blogs over the past year and when I discovered the 2012 Year of the Smalls stitch along I decided I would have to create my own blog so that I could participate in this project.  I am going to my LNS on Friday to purchase the pattern and threads.  I will post a picture when I get mine finished. 

I love the way Vonna finished hers...but then I have yet to see anything that Vonna does that I don't like.  Her blog is one I frequent very often.

Hello & Happy New Year!!

When I saw Vonna's finish, I was hooked! I will probably copy the ornie idea for my girls...hope you don't mind! Not to mention this month's challenge is in my 2012 Basket of To Do's. What better way to get motivated and start the year off?! Thank you Laura for allowing me to join. I ordered a couple of the floss colors and they should be here by the end of the week.
