It's the final Friday of 2018 so it's time for the final Smalls SAL posting of 2018. I hope your Christmas / holiday season is going well.
For December I couldn't not choose something Christmassy so stitched another little Christmas Cat. Back in July, when I stitched the first one, I asked you to vote for which of the five others I should stitch in December but there wasn't a clear winner, so I chose this one:
Dangling Christmas Cat by Design Works Crafts
Stitched on 16ct Tin over-dyed aida with sparkles from Sewitall.com 2 over 1
Stitch count 43 wide by 37 high
Started - 1st December 2018
Finished - 6th December 2018
Total stitching time - 7 hours 5 minutes
And need I even bother to say how he's been finished off?!
But there's also a bonus Smalls SAL piece this month since I had a couple of days spare and wanted to stitch something quick. So, appropriately for the busy build up to Christmas, here's Mr Rush, who's been finished off as a card to match the other Mr Men I stitched a couple of years ago.
Mr Rush available at my-cross-stitch-patterns.com (free)
Stitched on 16ct Lilac over-dyed aida from Sewitall.com 2 over 1
Stitch count 25 wide by 36 high
Started - 23rd December 2018
Finished - 24th December 2018
Total stitching time - 3 hours 5 minutes
So, that's it for the 2018 Smalls SAL. I stitched and fully-finished-off 13 pieces this year and look forward to being similarly successful in 2019!

Bellissimo il gatto !
Wohoo 2 fully finished smalls. Love the cat. You couldn't have picked wrong. They were all adorable. Can't wait to see what 2019 Smalls SAL brings you.
Dangling Christmas Cat is adorable and Mr. Rush is really cute.
Perfect combination of fabric and design. Very cute. I used to love the Mr.Men books as a kid.

The cat is cute and Mr. Rush looks like a really quick stitch! Such nice choices for the last Smalls SAL of the year.
It is a darling Dangling Christmas Cat! I love his Santa hat!
I love your little cat, and the way you finished it. So sweet.
Your kitty is adorable, I love the little pompom on his hat too!
Mr. Rush is a nice fun project.
