January Smalls SAL

It's the last Friday of the month. This means it's time for a 2017 Smalls SAL Check in. The idea is to pick something that is small (whatever that means to you) and get it finished up. Last year I joined in with a year long monthly design set. I loved it and stuck with it the whole year. So I decided to search for a new monthly set to do this year. I found these patterns from Pine Mountain Designs called Monthly Snapshots. My goal is to finish them each month for this SAL. I would love to finish finish them too but with the cold that took me out I just didn't reach that goal for this month. I do have the backing fabric picked out and waiting.

Here is my January stitching finish though...
I LOVED stitching it. Took me 4 Days but I enjoyed each moment. I just love the old photographs in an album look to the design. Can't wait to do the next one. See ya next check in!!

Don't forget I'm hosting a giveaway. Please head over to this post to join in.

Just found your blog through Sharon ( Shebafudge). Your finish looks like it was so much fun to stitch.

Such a lovely finish Katie, you'll have to get it finish finished soon, you don't want it to end up in the box of shame!

A lovely start to this year's Smalls SAL, Katie. The snowman is very tall and I like the photo corners! I'm now curious to see what the other months are like but will patiently wait for each post. :)

Katie, that is such a great finish. Love the "old style" look of it and what is included in the picture. My dad used pocket watches because he always smashed wristwatches on the large equipment he fixed.
