January Smalls.....

Wow I really can't believe how I have not even posted a Happy New Year Post or anything else for this month.  Now I am even late posting my January Smalls.  I hope this is no indication of me being late for everything this year.  So let's get on with the posting of some stitching projects!!!!

Mary of Mary's Thread has taken over the posting for our Smalls SAL now for each month.  If you want to join in, please click her blog link that is highlighted or our Smalls SAL banner shown here and it will take you to her blog to see what to do about joining in.

The first project I am showing was a birthday gift, and it is a Stacy Nash chart that I made into a pincushion.  I used most of the colors listed on the chart with the exception of the red color for the flowers as I chose something else to match the backing fabric.  I love it so much I think I am going to stitch me one.

The next project I want to show you is from BBD For My Friend book.  This was also another birthday gift!!!  I used the colors called for on the chart but the box is bigger than what was called for the finishing.  I liked a little more linen showing around the edges than what was on the design in the book.

And a side view.....

Now I am off to stitch on a small for a Valentine finish to have to display for next month! Until then... Happy Stitching!
