I changed all my cross-stitch smalls over today, I’ve got all my spring and Easter ones out, it almost doesn’t seem real that it’s nearly Easter already, but next weekend it’ll be here! It was nice to rummage through my box of smalls and find all the ones with cute bunnies on (of which there’s quite a few!!) and pretty spring ones.
Firstly I made sure my two cross-stitch boxes had the right seasonal side on display, one is a Betsy Morgan etui box, the other is the Zoe box by Faby Reilly. The two great tits I stitched for a wedding anniversary card last year complete the back shelf.
I then arranged my other smalls on the wooden dish in front…
The four blue ones at the front of geese and ducks are pretty old, they were actually bibs and nappy pin holders from when my children were babies – so that’s about 25 years old! A couple of years ago I decided to cut up the bibs and enjoy them as smalls.
The cute rabbit holding a daisy is by Dany Chevallier, it’s called Ambience Printemps, there’s another one in the series which is on my to do list. April is from the Joyful World SAL by the Snowflake Diaries and the Hello Spring one is by Il Est Cinq Heures.
There’s quite a fluffle of bunnies there, I count six rabbits and five geese!

I always love your smalls! This lot are super cute. Do you know anywhere that sells good embroidered box kits?

Thanks, The Nutmeg Company here in Yorkshire do some very pretty boxes, I’ve made a couple of them, if you go to their website, don’t just click on the boxes tab as there’s lots in other sections too like the keepsakes. Worldwide postage is very reasonable too. https://www.3dcrossstitch.co.uk/

Hello Margaret, your March/Easter smalls are beautiful, I love the bib ones so cute, the boxes are gorgeous. I’m dying to get one with my cross stitch, but I must finish this pincushion first grrrr! lol I’ll get there it’s just frustrating me because I’m really not enjoying it all. Stay safe and well. Regards Mandy xx
