The Smalls SAL is hosted by Heather from Stitching Lotus
This year I am going to have two monthly challenges:
1. The Primitive Hare Hallowe'en Cubes SAL
2. The Hallowe'en Ornie SAL themed blog.
I completed the first L from the Hallowe'en Cubes earlier this month:

Stitched on 32count Vintage Grain Linen
Because I have been focusing on my SOS piece I haven't stitched the March Ornie yet. But I have six days left this month so there's plenty of time!
I have worked four out of five days so far this week so my stitching time is waaaaaaay down on usual. I didn't even pick up Satsuma Street last night so I am planning on dedicating Thursday to that one this week. The good news is that with the Easter holidays coming up I only have one day of work between now and the 15th April! So expect some good picture-filled posts next month.
Finally, I saw this project on the Mr X-Stitch blog recently:
January 2015
The artist embroiders one square every day inspired by the weather that day. I have seen scarfs with one row knitted every day in a colour relating to the temperature but never anything quite like this! Each block is only 1.25 inch square but so detailed. I love it! I am looking forward to seeing how this progresses through the Summer into Autumn.

Love the block a day, your L is a lovely stitch.
I wish I had four out of five days to work out, maybe when I retire in oct.

I love your L piece and am looking forward to seeing the rest of the letters emerge. Thank you for posting the link to the item about the Calendar Project. After reading it I started following the artist on Instagram so I can see her daily progress
Very nice
Lovely stitching!!
Your Halloween "L" projects looks great!
Wow, that Calendar Project is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
The L looks great - good luck getting in more stitching time. The Calendar Project is quite fascinating - incredible little squares.
Oh wow! What a neat calendar idea.
Your Halloween L is wonderful! The stitcher working on the Calendar squares is amazing. How does she find the time?!
Beautiful finish :-) Enjoy your extra stitching time. That calendar project is stunning!
Congrats on the great finish Jo.

No rush on Satsuma Street. I haven't touched mine in weeks. lol

Letter 'L' looks great! I liked the calender idea :)
Crocheters do have such CALs where they crochet different blocks/squares and then join them together.
I love the crow! That square a day piece is spectacular, if I were to do something like that around here there would be a lot of plain grey squares
Your 'L' looks great :) I love the calender, thanks for sharing - what an awesome idea!
Great "L" Jo, and thanks for sharing that amazing calendar. I hope you get lots of stitching done between now and the 15th!
Love your L and the colour of the linen you chose for it. That calendar piece is amazing, such detail in a tiny space, how beautiful it must be IRL!
Love the L!
And that calendar is WOW! can't believe the detail on it!
Hello Jo
Lovely stitching!!
Oohh! Love your letter L!
What wonderful calendar. Lots of stitching in one day.
I'm watching all that great Halloween stitching!
L looks great. Looking forward to watching your progress on the blocks. The calendar is amazing - I will have to check in on it every so often.
Great stitching. The calendar is lovely.
The calendar square a day is amazing...what a project.
Enjoy your Easter holidays off work.
This little crow sitting on the pumpkin is so cute. A great finish. And isn't it gorgeous to see how creative some people are? I love that calendar project very much.
Lovely stitching!
Congrats on your finish!
Love the black bird and the calendar project is the kind of weather report I'm fond of. xxx
Wow how wickedly cool is Mr X stitch's project. Thanks for the link I had a good ogle there too. Very impressed. I can't wait to see your pic filled upcoming posts too. Happy Easter holidays xo Alicia
