The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread
This year my Smalls will be my JBW 12 Days of Christmas ornaments which I started on Boxing Day 2019 for the 12 Days of Stitchmas. I completed the Fourth Day in April:
stitched 1 over 2 on 40 count white linen
and I added beads to the first three designs:
I showed this design last time, minus the beads. This is the cover kit from Cross Stitcher magazine issue :
The next one is the Lady in Red Heart from Just Cross Stitch:
The third one is Love and Roses:
And the fourth one for today is Rose Lady:
Another unplanned start and finish was this month's choice for the Just Cross Stitch Ornament SAL on Facebook. I admin this group because the previous Admin dropped out but I don't usually stitch the ornaments. However, this month we had Blue Ribbon Designs' Trimming the Tree. One of my long term goals is to stitch all of this series. I have done two so far and now a third!
Here is Roaming Reindeer and Woodsy Winter:
Finally, the lovely Clare from Aimetu's Stitching is asking for some help with her smalls. Each year Clare decorates a tree for her church's Tree Festival with stitched ornaments. I have donated ornaments in the past and this year she is asking us to join in again. The theme is A Bouquet of Flowers. All she needs is the stitched piece, she will fully-finish it for you. Just leave a comment on Clare's blog to get involved. (I include this each month as a reminder for myself!)

I decided to join in with Rachel Ten Hours and Tiff Stitches and their Spring into Summer New Starts Binge. I wasn't planning any new starts but I do want to take part in Stitch Maynia in May with my Just Nan smalls. I have completed 8 of them since last May so need 8 new ones to fill the gaps. I have started one each Friday this month. The first one is Beach Roses:
stitched on 28 count pale blue linen
The next one is the Lady in Red Heart from Just Cross Stitch:
stitched on 32 count lilac linen
The third one is Love and Roses:
stitched on 28 count black Jobelan
And the fourth one for today is Rose Lady:
stitched on 32 count pale green linen
