Good evening!
I hope you are all ok? I am super happy today as it was my first weigh in while on my health kick and I lost 6 1/2 lbs!! I was so suprised! :D
Now, I am a day late posting my Small SAL report hosted by Heather at Stitching Lotus, but with good reason, as I was at a charity fashion show yesterday.
Here is my first small of the year :)
Just a simple ornament for the tree finished with some red polka dot fabric at the back and a cream ribbon. The pattern is by Nancy at Victorian Motto, if memory serves this was a prize in one of her giveaways for Christmas 2012 where everyone who entered won! She is a very sweet lady :)
It was stitched on cream 14ct Aida with some red floss I had in my stash, got to save those pennies!
While I was writing this I happened to glance at my diary on my desk...it's TUSAL today too!
A quick snap of my jar...
It looks like a lot, but most of those are from the free kits I was doing for the Crazy Jan Challenge, it appears the length they cut threads to always end up too short to use again for any other stitches! All the black on the top is from Mini The Black.
I think that's all folks, I will be back on Saturday with my YOTA report - I have made some progress, yippee!
