April Wrap Up Smalls and All

I am super excited about the Smalls SAL check-in for this month. I have some finishes to celebrate. I used two of the motifs from Stitch-Creation's pincube to stitch a floss tag holder and a pinkeep. I'm almost done with the assembly, just need to decide how to finish the edges.

Finish number two is "Growing Love" Stitcher's Wallet. This is now on the top of the To-Be-Finished pile.

My altered Altoid tin is finish number three. Yeah! The theme for the Halloween Ornie SAL was tombstone. While I found myself with several good candidates to stitch I had a hard time making up my mind. I was running out of time when I decided on the tombstone from one of the panels of Drac-in-the-Box, JCS Halloween 2013. I got out some graph paper and made up the two tombstones on either side, then used it as a Tin-Topper.

I got a little distracted this past month. I was browsing and came across the crocheted hen and a lot of pictures of tatted eggs. It started with the red egg, then I found the pattern used on the blue egg. The blue egg turned out to be a lot bigger than I expected. I was almost through with the first half when I looked at the instructions again and realized that the thread used in the model was size 80 and I had used a size 20 thread. Luckily I was able to find a paper-mache egg that it could fit. Now I'm working on one in the size 80 thread, it should be ready by next Easter. 

Aside from the pin cube that was in my last post the only stitching that I can report on is this below.

Next up was a little more on the walls of the house, Christmas at Hollyberry Farm,  

And a new start. "Growing Love" Stitcher's Wallet. This is a Nan Lewis exclusive from Ladies Prim Society (Threadwork Primitives).
