It's the last Thursday of the month so time to check in for the Smalls SAL run by Heather of Stitching Lotus. This year I am planning to stitch a Christmas ornament each month.
For March I chose Joy from the Lizzie Kate 12 Blessings range and for the third month in a row actually finish-finished it into a little ornament with matching fabric and ribbon:
Stitched on 16ct Cloud Brown aida from sewitall.com 2 over 1
Stitch count 36 wide by 36 high
Started - 6th March 2016
Finished - 6th March 2016
Total stitching time - 3 hours 5 minutes
plus a couple of hours to finish off.
If you are familiar with the chart you will see I messed around with it quite a bit, leaving out the candy cane, altering the stocking from having stitched stars to having gold beads and changing and relocating the charm. This chart was a Christmas gift from Mii Stitch who did not know at the time that my mum's name is Joy so was a very apt choice. I hope you don't mind my alterations!
Next month's small will probably be a CCN rather than LK chart. See you at the end of April!
Happy stitching everyone :)

Your Joy ornament is so very sweet, and I like the changes you made. I love personalising my stitching too.
So cute!! I love that you've personalised it, especially now knowing about your mum's name :)
Love the fabric & ribbons, a perfect match.
Ooh get you showing off not just a finish but a finish-finish! I love the changes you made. Has your mum bagged this one yet?!

Very nice! I love making changes to some of my pieces. It's unique and makes it your own.

Such a lovely ornament, Rachel. No one would ever assume that you changed something, it looks perfect. And I truly love the backing fabric you used for the finishing.

Cute finish Rachel and the fabric you used is perfect for it.
Lovely finish !! :) I like your idea of one ornament finish every month.
I have never noticed you stitching huge charts or HAEDs. Do you stitch ?
I don't, I haven't had the courage and patience for the same.
Adorable finish :)
Nice stitching and finishing.
Hi Rachel, it's so nice finish! I love the Lizzie's designs too. Happy stitching!
Nice job! And it is wonderful that you finished it too. I never get around to finishing my ornaments.
Thanks for taking part in the Smalls SAL!
Your ornament turned out very cute!
