Due to February being a short month, it's time for another Smalls SAL already! Thank you, Mary, for continuing to run this fun little SAL. Pop over to Mary's blog and see what other participants have been stitching in the way of Smalls this month.
Each month I stitch a small project, which doesn't appear elsewhere on my blog, specifically for this SAL. For February it's a little cutie:
Stitch Count 35 wide by 25 high
Stitched on 16ct Aqua over-dyed aida from Sewitall.com 2 over 1
Started - 3rd February 2019
Finished - 6th February 2019
Total stitching time - 5 hours 15 minutes
And he's been finished off too, using my very much preferred finishing technique, with matching teal backing fabric and contrasting cerise barley twist cord:
What a sweetie!
Also this year, unlike previous years, I'm stitching other things during the month which can be classed as smalls so, even though they've already appeared on my blog, I am showing them here again too.
My birthstone of the month, February in Amethyst:
And my monarch of the month, although I'm including both January and February's monarchs here since January's was not completed until after January's Smalls SAL (I still need to order the seed beads to complete the shield and dot the i's of William).
Next month the little green dragon will be getting a companion.
Take care,
