Finally Fully Finishing Fun for June

     

Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher

This SAL is designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed.  We will all be linking up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month).

I decided to scrapbook something this month as I hadn't had a chance to buy any frames.  Wilkos in town closed down so it involves a car trip to the out-of-town retail park now.

However, we recently bought a new bed with underbed storage which I filled with a lot of the boxes in the bedroom including the one with my scrapbooks in as it was such a large box.  So the first job was to empty under the bed, remove the box and repack it all!

For one tiny finish!

Finally, life is looking a little challenging to find an entire day free for my Longest Day SAL so it might have to be spread over two days.  Stay tuned for more news on that!

May Smalls

    

The Smalls SAL is hosted by Rachel

For my Smalls stitching this year, I have chosen 12 smaller designs and numbered them for my WIPGO Board.  Each month one Small will be stitched in the evening timeslot and hopefully finished within the month.  

Or rather, that is the plan for every month except May!  Each May since 2018 I have attempted my Just Nan-athon where I stitch a different Just Nan small each evening.  If I finished one the previous year I start a new one but this year I decided not to do that and just continue stitching the current one for 2 or 3 days.  So there is a total of 26 designs this year.

Here is the collage of them all:

I even had a finish!  Day 26 was Spring Spell and I completed that lovely little one on 26th May:

Finally, the WIPGO choice was Drawn Thread Spot of Autumn which didn't get touched at all, so I will be adding that to the month that Spot of Summer gets called and see if I can stitch both in one month.
