The Smalls SAL is hosted by Stitching Lotus
This year I am showing my Just Nan 12 Days of Christmas blocks for the Smalls SAL and also my 30-a-day projects. All smalls also by Just Nan. It's a Nan-a-thon year!
Here is Block 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas:
And here is the full piece. You can see that I have stitched a good chunk of Block 10 too. I want to complete 10 in September so I can dedicate October to Hallowe'en stitching.

I finished Happy Bluebird at the beginning of the month, just need to get a charm and scrapbook it:

The next Small in line is Jump For Joy, which is now nearly finished too:

The Donna Kooler Tinies have all been FFO'd and once my friend gives me permission I can show them on here. Should be viewable for next month's Smalls Post.
My final Small is my new app - Tiny Decisons. This is a free app where you type in a question and then give a selection of answers. The app creates a wheel which you can spin to help you decide on a option. For Dark October this year I am also doing Arbitary October where the wheel makes a random selection from your WIPs. I have 5 Hallowe'en WIPs so I put each one in six times and then added Enchanted Alphabet once. Each time a project comes up I will stitch on it for the day and then remove the option so they each get stitched on during the month. If I complete a WIP then I remove all the remaining entries for it to give something else a chance. Here's the wheel all set up ready to go:
Finally, Blogger has a new glitsch to delight and entertain us all. Specially selected commenters can no longer comment on blogs where the comment field is embedded. They can only comment on blogs where the comment field is a pop-up.
So if you like to get comments - go into your Dashboard and change your comment field to a Pop-up. Chatter is restored! Thanks to Brigitte for alerting me to this latest vagary of Blogger.
Gorgeous stitching! Thanks for the info about comments.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo, I just realised this on another friend's blog - I commented successfully the other day but no luck today! Great work on your smalls and I love your Decision Wheel!
ReplyDeleteI love your 12 days of Christmas, Jo. It looks awesome as a group. And your smalls are so pretty and can't wait to see the charms you add. Have a great weekend. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
ReplyDeleteJust Nan 12 days will be lovely, how big will it be? Your new wheel will be perfect if rainbow theme is on a next Saturday SAL! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love all of your smalls. IT is always a delight to see what we are all up to.
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a problem with blogger. I have been having a bear of a time. I had decided it must be a glitch in the browser I used. I use Safari. But now that you have said this...I have only been able to comment on the pop ups. Seriously, Blogger is trying to do me in.
Thank you, Jo, for changing the comment section to the pop-up window. Now I can comment on your blog as usual. And as you know I like commenting :)) Some months ago there was the same problem but they fixed it very fast. This time it has been going on for more than two weeks already. It's such a pain with Blogger.
ReplyDeleteYour 12 Days will soon be done and I'm in awe of your organizing talent. I haven't stitched in quite a while, my mojo has disappeared as it happens always in summer. I hope it will return soon.
Happy Bluebird is so pretty Jo. Thank you so much for alerting us to the Blogger issue.I have a friend who I can pass this on to. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all of the cute finishes Jo.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Your stitching is spectacular as always....
ReplyDeleteLooking good, did you finish ten yet?
ReplyDeleteSweet smalls, such pretty colours.
What a fun wheel, I might have to try that for next year.
Happy Bluebird is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the techy heads up, your a star x
12 Days is looking great!
ReplyDeleteA spinny decision wheel app. Hmm. I guess I'm old school, I'd just write them on little bits of paper and pull them out of a hat
Beautiful stitching. I've seen a few people using this random wheel. Cute idea. I always just give Jeremiah numbers and make him pick. Then I get mad at whatever he picks haha. Thanks for letting me know about the comment thing. I thought my comments looked lower than usual.
ReplyDeleteGreat smalls again, Jo. I like the Tiny Decision App. I definitely couldn't use it myself (I like to be in control of my stitching) but will enjoy watching you stitch by it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your fix advice! Your wheel looks very full! Lots of stitching for you this month! x
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your Smalls. In particular, I love your 12 Days, which is looking gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLovely smalls and a cool app! I like randomizing stuff. I usually just enumerate options and use random.org to pick one, but the wheel looks much fancier!
