Slow Sunday Stitching

Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! It's hard to believe it's already the last link up for January, but the sooner the winter passes here, the better! 

We have already had a full winter of snowy weather and ice cold temperatures here, and today we are getting up to 20 centimetres more snow. I sent this photo to my friend (whose car I borrowed to enable me to go car shopping). It was taken at the Staples parking lot - the snow banks are twice as tall as me in some places! Next week we'll see what the groundhog forecasts for us in terms of how much longer this brutal winter might last. 

This week I finished this little piece of stitching into a miniature wallhanging. It is still a free pattern to download from Silver Creek Samplers if you would like to make it. I finished the cross stitch last year, but wanted it to be completely finished and hanging on the wall to enjoy in February. 

Finished size = 5.75" x 5.75"
Here are the little hanging sleeves I made for the back of 2 mini finishes. They are tiny, but are just big enough to tuck in under the binding and be able to use a wooden skewer to hang it on one nail.

It's hard for me to describe or understand how stitching these little projects make me so ridiculously happy! It just brings a little joy and brightness into my world. And that's a good enough reason to be obsessed with them, I guess! While it snows today I will finish another little one to share with you next week.

This is your reminder to slow down and enjoy today! Pick up your stitching and enjoy the benefits of creating and relaxing! We hope you will link up your blog post below and share your progress with us.
