Hi all! Hope you're all keeping cool! There are thunderstorms brewing outside right now but no rain yet๐ค๐ผ๐ค๐ผ
Yes, I'm back in a week because in addition to the parade, I have 2 finishes. They're small and I wanted them done before the end of June which is today!
Here they are...
Long May She Wave, just finished today. On 32ct Taupe Jobelan and using DMCs. I have a 4 day weekend coming up starting on the 4th, so I plan to dedicate 1 day to FFOing! Now that it's been made public I have to do it!
Next one is Warm Wishes...
On with the parade!
Here's a freebie from Hands On Designs. When I eventually get to FFOing it, it'll be a pillow in the shape of a house with a pointed roof.
Another freebie, this one from The Primitive Hare. The floss is from Ships Manor and is called Ganache which is a beautiful brown. I'll incorporate rusty bells on this one.
Next is...
I cannot remember the designer's name or the pattern name but it is tiny. The words are over 1. I have a small papier mache box that this will be attached to.
This one is...
from a Russian designer that was on Etsy. I'm sure I mentioned the name when I finished it here on my blog somewhere. It's very small. I think it's about 3" on the long side.
Now, we have...
a recognizable design of a pear. It's from Marty at Samplers & Santas blog, or vice versa. They're freebies that are easy to find on her blog. Vonna the Twisted Stitcher has a great tutorial of how to sew a pear together. I'll do a practice pear first using cottons and then use my finish to do the real thing! Wish me luck!
Hang in there, there's more!
This is a cute winter design by a Scottish designer who is on Etsy. I can't remember her name though.
Getting old isn't for sissies!!
But wait, there's 1 more!
Another freebie, this is from the Little Stitcher. It's to be a sachet. Whenever I get to FFOing this is anybody's guess!
That's it for now. I have a few more smalls to show and then I'll move onto the medium-sized finishes.
I really need to get all these smalls made into something! It'll be a goal for the rest of the year๐ค๐ผ
Thanks for your words on my Mama cat and her growing deafness. That could be just aging or an infection of some sort. She doesn't act any different than she did before all this but I'll keep an eye on her though.
Anybody doing Jolly July or Christmas in July stitching? I'm going to keep plugging away on what I have going. I may or may not have kitted something up though so you'll have to tune in for that!
Take care, keep cool, and stitch!









Love seeing your small finishes, Shelly, and I look forward to seeing your medium and large beauties. That is a great idea to practice the pear finish with a piece of cotton first. I don't seem to be very good at challenging myself to shaped finishes, but, perhaps, if I practiced first I could do it! And you know me: Christmas in July (and January and February and March, etc. etc :)
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful amount of adorable pieces. Thanks for sharing!
