May Smalls SAL

The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread

For this SAL I am showing the monthly project for the Christmas Ornie Blog. I am choosing from the back issues of the Just Cross Stitch Ornament Specials. This month we could chose any ornament from the 2001 issue.  Owing to a slight mishap with the years last month, I stitched the 2001 Dragon Dreams design in April, so I'm stitched the 2002 in May instead.  No-one will notice if you don't tell them!

The words originally read "Peace on Earth" but when I was stitching I kept singing "Peace and Harmony" which all parents of young children will know is a song sung by Madame Gazelle in Peppa Pig!

My Hallowe'en "small" is to add some small details to my spooky conversion of Lavender & Lace's Enchanted Alphabet.  This month I added pumpkins:

I had one finish for my Just Nan-a-thon, this one took a lot longer than most of them but it is done now, ready to be scrapbooked:

Once this one was finished I moved on to the next one in line; Butterfly Needlebook.  I decided to stitch the whole turquoise border on both parts of the design first:

And each day I stitched one length on one of the 32 designs started for Stitch Maynia last year.  Here are the last 7 designs:



Finally, I'll be back later with my Pie and Stitch from Stash post!!

Your Just Nan is stunning Jo, I'm enjoying watching your Stitch Maynia and admire both your dedication and self-control, I'd be tempted to stitch more

I think this is about the prettiest Just Nan - so delicate looking.

Both your finishes are lovely.

Your dragon and Just Nan are gorgeous!
I thank goodness my children grew up before Peppa Pig arrived, but I do know just about every Tweenies song inside out! :)
