Between the summer heat, gardening, Corona pandemic, loss of stitching mojo or maybe just life, I have been in a stitching slump. Stitching smalls is my solution. I love smalls. With their pretty ribbons, backing fabrics and charms, smalls are such compliments to needlework. When I first started stitching Home, AppleJack thought I was stitching a beer can!

The colors Lori (La D Da) chose for this piece are so soft and delicate.

See what I mean with the ribbon and pins, Stacy took a simple motif and made it into something special

Smalls, simple motifs, repeating patterns, hope they help me find my stitching mojo.
All of your smalls stitching is beautiful! I hope you get your stitching mojo back. I know that feeling. The world is a strange place these days.
ReplyDeleteI adore all your smalls! For no mojo, I still think you are getting lots done :)
ReplyDeleteYou must know the smalls make my heart happy. :) Got a giggle over the can of beer comment. Blue Flower Drum has me intrigued. Interested to see how it finishes.
ReplyDeleteStitching smalls is so very satisfying I think! The bang of a finish and the thrill of a new start. What's not to love?
ReplyDeleteYour interest in bigger projects will come back. I think with the current environment, everyone is concentrating a little less than normal.
What lovely smalls you have worked on and finished or working on. I love stitching smalls. Probably because the walls are almost filled. I giggled over the beer can comment. Hmmm, maybe finish it as a drum with silver top and bottom!
ReplyDeleteIt has just been a difficult time for so many of us. I am thankful to be retired and sort of used to just spending lots of time at home. Your smalls are delightful. I seem to be drawn to big things so I don't have to make decisions about what to do next.
ReplyDeleteI think there are a good many of us who are just plain "worn down" by the distress in our country/world these days, and the hopelessness there seems to be for the future some days. Anywho...your stitches are wonderful. I agree with Lauren...you seem to be very prolific despite your missing mojo. Most stitching I do is of smalls (lack of wall space mostly...but I agree there is so much variety with fun finishes and embellishments). It's a bit ironic, though, that it ultimately takes me more time to "finish" finish smalls than large pieces. I really like feathered nest pin book from Stacy....I have not seen that yet and am anxious to see how it finishes up. Stay well ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteI have lost my stitching mojo many times in the past, I am sure you will be back to full speed soon.
ReplyDeleteAll your designs are lovely.

They are all beautiful stitches!

Beautiful smalls! I have the La D Da Drum and the Stacy Nash Pin Disk too... you've inspired me to get stitching on them! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love these smalls! Never saw that peacock design.
