Smalls SAL - February

The last Wednesday of the month is time for the Smalls SAL post!  I finished Woodland Splendor, a traveling pattern that was given to me by a stitcher on Facebook, and I have mailed it off to the next person to stitch.  I used Mill Hill beads and a little leaf charm for the center.  I'm not sure if I will frame this or make it into an ornament.

This is another finish from the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge, and now my WIP list is shrinking!

I also started and finished this cute vampire for the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL.  Each month is a different theme and February was vampires.

Crazy January start #20

Day #20 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Woodland Splendor by The Sweetheart Tree.  A very nice stitcher on Facebook gave me this chart and I'm going to pass it on to another as soon as I finish.  I used Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Variegated Pumpkin Medium floss for the border.  This is on 14 ct Ecru Aida and will be about 3" x 3".  The acorns will be done in satin stitches.

I also started another fall-themed heart last year, Autumn Heart, a freebie from a French blog, Anne les Petites Croix.  Today I started the row of green leaves across the top.

I hope to find the perfect fall fabric and make these into flatfolds or ornaments following Vonna's tutorials!
