I hope everyone had a really great month. Our weekends have been filled with high school football on Friday's and the rest of the weekend dedicated to college and pro football. We finally got some much needed rain, however, it dropped the temps about 20 degrees and I wasn't quite ready for 60's and 70's yet.
So onto the smalls I have for you this month. Thank you again to Heather at The Stitching Lotus for hosting this Smalls SAL. I am so glad I have some things completed because my eyes started straining so I had to slow down my stitching so I could get my eyes checked. I just got my new glasses on Friday so I am ready to stitch as usual.
First is a finish I did at the end of August but fully FFO'd this month. It is called Joy and is by Hands on Designs and it was in the 2017 JCS ornament issue.
I used 28 ct Monaco in Hunter Green and changed the coral stitches to light pink Mill Hill beads so I could match up the pink beads around the ornament. I love how it turned out.
2nd finish is September's mini bunny by Handblessing Designs and is in the Aug/Sept 2018 JCS issue.
I used scrap 32ct sand linen. Gentle Arts Dark Chocolate, Carrie's Creation Desert Bloom and DMC 712.
3rd finish is A Star, A Star from The Sunflower Seed and was in the 2007 JCS ornament issue.
It is hard to tell but the gold is metallic and their are beads around the outside border. It was such a fun stitch.
Well that is all for this month. I have another small finish that need to be FFO'd so I will show you that next time. I am 98% done with The Spider and The Fly mystery SAL by Tempting Tangles so I will post that sometime this week.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments and I hope you have a great October.
Mary
