December Smalls

         

The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread


Following the sucess of the October Smalls Focus I decided to do the same in December with three Christmas Smalls from my Just Nan-athon.

The first up as the complementary Angel Ornament which comes with the Angel Flowers chart.  I started this one in May 2021 and finished and FFO'd it this month:



Next up was Snowberries, part of the Ornamental Treasure series.  I started this one way back in 2018 and it's finished all except the beading.  I don't have the beadpack so I have to find substitutes from my stash and need the time to do that.

The third Small is finished and I added beads to it rather than wrestle with metallic Smyrna Stitches!  This one is Special Delivery, the 2003 Ornament.  It came with the fabric and the gold envelope charm which even has a tiny Christmas card inside!  I also started this one in 2018.

Not bad for one month - one FFO, one finish and one nearly finished.

Finally, thanks to everyone who took part in the Advent Calendar Blog Hop this year and to everyone who visited each day and left lovely comments on each post.  People really do appreciate those comments, especially at such a busy time of the year.

  4. Well done with your so close finished projects. More angels in the house is always a good news. Special delivery looks so elegant (and stitches so tiny). Happy New Year! xxx
