October Smalls and My Milanese lace piece

Well, here he is my cute little sheep, there was an interesting stitch under the white beads on his body, bit hard to see here.

And here is my entry for the Royal Geelong show, this was my third Milanese piece and I quite enjoyed making it. I was lucky to get First Prize in this section of the show.

Now what will I stitch for November?!!

September Smalls challenge

Here at last is my cross stitched ornament using some nice variegated DMC threads, and bobbin lace I made to decorate the edge. This was a simple pattern by a lovely woman called Christine Springett from the UK.
Not the best finishing, but at least it can go on the tree!!

August Small's Challenge

Here is my contribution for the Smalls August challenge. Just made it in time!!

Meanwhile I am trying to finish a lace piece for country show, I have a few weeks left to finish this!

July 2016 Small competition

At last, here's my contribution for the July Smalls. Another quick stitch, while I start larger projects in my bobbin lace!!! These are great to stitch when you have a few moments

Now to check all my friends efforts!

June Smalls challenge

Here it is at last, a plastic canvas Christmas decoration. Great to have the challenge to actually finish anything.

Last weekend I started a small reticella project (my first in this type of embroidery). Having fun with that, hopefully my first finish in this type of project will become a pin cushion!

May Smalls challenge

Another cute little design, I love my needlework tools so this is an apt project for me!!

Meanwhile, I have started a new lace piece with some interesting new stitches, and have been working away at a beautiful embroidery piece of roses by Dimensions.

April Smalls challenge

Another Small start and finish: Berry Sweet and "Merry Moose" which I love and started some time ago.
