Because I am focusing on my BAPs again, I won't have so many smalls this year but I do have a couple of series with small components so I will share them this month.
The first is the Blackwork Tarot by Circle Cross. I have finished Water:
A blog trying to focus on all the nice things in life, those moments when everything turns out right. Finding the perfect fabric for that chart you love, the ideal sampler quote, just the right picture in all the 1000s of magazines you own. Meeting people who share your interests and obsessions and totally understand why you NEED that chart when you already have enough to last until you're 104

June Smalls
The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread
stitched on 28 count sky blue evenweave from Silkweavers
and made a start on the first Zodiac sign - Gemini:
My next collection of tiny items is the Potion Bottle Temperature SAL from Stitch It Picasso.

I completed all of April and made a start on May. Apart from those four Green days, the rest alternated between Lime and Yellow so it should be quicker now.
June was more varied between Lime, Yellow, Orange, Red and Dark Red (for just one very hot day).
Finally, a very small Small. This is one of the motifs for the Discworld Objectiva I started last year. My friend Nicole thought it would be fun to choose one motif to represent each of the Discworld Books. I helped by model stitching them so she could see how each one turned out before committing to the final design.
Sourcery is the fifth book but one that caused her a lot of issues getting the right look to the carpet. She moved on to some of the easy books and then came back to it later. Which is why I hadn't stitched it before. Here's the final design she was happy with:

You're doing a great job getting caught up on the temperature bottles, and keeping on track with everything else!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. I love the bottles. Too cute!
