Hello Smalls Stitchers! First, I’d like to apologize for getting this post up just a little bit late. It is around noon my time on check-in day, but I know for some of you it is already tomorrow! To be totally honest, I forgot it was the last Friday of the month. Where has May gone?
I’ve had another month where I haven’t stitched too month. I’ve gardened, read some good books, and spent some time outdoors. My poor stitching has languished! Thankfully, though, I did get my small done.
Merry Santa Kit, designed by Lizzie*Kate
This is Merry Santa Kit from Lizzie*Kate, a limited edition kit from 2015 (I think…). The kit included the linen, finishing fabric, and embellishments. I still need to add the buttons and little bell, and sew it all up into a bag, but the stitching is complete. I used DMC rather than overdyed thread since, honestly, I don’t want to buy eight skeins of fancy floss that I will only need a length or two from. 😉
My plan is to have him sewn up into a bag by earlier next week, and I will share him again when he is all done.
So, what did you stitch this month? Please head down towards the bottom of this post to add your link to the list. Please be sure to use the permalink for your blog post and a picture of your small as your thumbnail. If you run into any problems, please don’t hesitate to email me. I’m always happy to help out.
The link list will remain open to new entries until about midnight Eastern time on Friday, June 2nd. Update: The list will stay open until midnight Eastern on June 8th. So, you still have lots of time to add your link even if you aren’t quite finished yet. Remember: for each month that you share a finished small, you get one entry into the end of the year draw.
Next Month: The next Smalls SAL check-in will take place on Friday, June 30th. See you then!
Thanks again, very much, for stitching smalls along with me! I can’t wait to see what you’ve stitched.

Lovely Merry Santa Heather, he will make a splendid bag
This is a great looking Santa – the cookies are extra special
Very sweet finish!
What an ADORABLE Santa!!! He is soooo cute and I can’t wait to see him totally finished!
Love your Santa! (Please delete my #11 link; #12 is the correct one. Sorry for the trouble.)
I love your Santa – he is going to make a lovely bag.
I feel as though May snuck past me when my back was turned – I’m glad to know I’m not alone!
Santa looks great. I agree about the hand dyed threads. DMC variegated are just as good for many designs.
Great Santa, I posted my smalls but I’ve completely forgotten to link up! Off to do that now!
Your finish is very cute.
Lovely Santa, I agree with you about the floss. Looks like I made link up by the skin of my teeth!
Love your Santa, Heather. xxx
I love your Santa!
Thank you for updating the links; that was a lot of work for you to do!
