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 with Giovanna
2. The Hallowe'en Ornie SAL themed blog.
Last month I started the letter H for the cubes which I finished this month and then added the A cube too:
I could find the picture on Pinterest via Google Images but no-one ever bothers to credit and link the designers there. So frustrating! Eventually I found the chart on the Casa Cenina website. Hooray!
Here is the Dancing Skeleton on his own, this would make a great ornie by itself:
And here is the completed piece:
When I had finished stitching I showed it to my son and said "It's a skeleton, some ghosts and some long legged beasties, I think". He was the one who realised that the black shape is actually a skeleton cat. Sometimes you can be too close to a piece to see it!
I also stitched a Birthday card for my friend Nicola. Together we run the Scarlet Letter Years Blogs and more recently, the Scarlet Letter FB page along with Krista. Each year I stitch a different red letter N for Nicola's Birthday. Here is this year's:

The theme for the Ornie SAL was skeletons. I found it rather tricky to find a good skeleton pattern and had quite a hunt for a freebie I knew existed somewhere on the internet.

The Broderie website is a French site which offers two freebie charts per week. After that you can usually buy them for 1euro. I try to visit once a week to download the free ones!
Finally, I made a small start on a new SAL. Linda from Stitching with my Furbabies has several of the Satsuma Street Cities among her many WIPs and she suggested we SAL with one. I chose London as it is my capital city (I also have Paris and Italy, which is not actually a city but came as a set of three). Here is my Tuesday start:
