January Smalls SAL 🐱

I am actually joining in this year's Smalls SAL, now hosted by Mary at Mary's Thread. Not only am I trying to do some smalls, but totally finished ones too!

I had a head start with these three in the beginning of January, I was on a Mill Hill kick!
These and several others were given to me during the summer by Karen's Mother, dear Judy, who passed away suddenly in November. She knew I loved Halloween and gave me quite a stash of them. These will be treasured for sure.


This is one I've made before, but I wanted to make again for myself because I like it so much.


I hope I can get as many done next month, we'll see.

Astrid I especially like the Santa finish, and can see why you made it again. Can I ask where you purchased the curly hangers like those from? I need to get one for my gingerbread mouse pattern Gracie gave me earlier this year. I think that would work for his tail. It seems to be the exact same kind to me. And she made the mouse already, but gave me the pattern, so I need to purchase a tail. :) Thank you!

Your Halloween ornaments are so cute, especially the black cat with the pumpkin. My favorite though is the Santa stamp!

Astrid these are all adorable. You did a wonderful job on each and every one of them. Is it hard to stitch on perforated paper...any tips? RJ

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

Love the Mill Hill kits, these make great little ornies. Will you have a Hallowe'en tree to display them?

Sheryl said...

Lovely finishes Astrid, you are ahead with your Halloween stitching and I love the little Santa design

Such lovely treasures the Mill Hill Halloween finishes are, how lovely they found a loving home.

Your Smalls are all delightful, but I have to admit a preference for Santa. I can understand your desire to stitch him again.
