It's the last Friday of the month so time for the Smalls SAL. Thank you, Mary, for continuing to host this fun little SAL. Pop over to Mary's Blog to see what other participants have been stitching in the way of Smalls this month.
Each month I stitch a small project specifically for this SAL which doesn't appear elsewhere on my blog. This month it was the first of six Christmas cards by Durene Jones:
Stitch Count 45 wide by 45 high
Stitched on 16ct silver lurex aida 2 over 1
Started - 6th November 2019
Finished - 13th November 2019
Total stitching time - 7 hours 50 minutes
I love this little piece, especially with the beads which, I think, look much better than the burgundy french knots they were charted as. I know it's designed to be a card, but I have something else in mind!
For this Smalls SAL I'm also re-showing other qualifying small projects I've stitched during the month.

December's Smalls SAL will be another of Durene Jones' little Christmas cards.
Take care,
