Smalls SAL April report (a little late)

It's been a difficult month for my family.  My MIL passed away peacefully this week. It was not unexpected - she was 91 and had multiple health problems - but it is still distressing.  Most of her relatives are country people, and our house is their city base.  We have a few visitors to date, but are expecting in excess of 20 to arrive Thursday for Friday's funeral.  Hence my delayed and short report. I will try and get in to look at the other Smalls reports, but it may not be until later in the month when things get back to what passes for normal here.

I have made and finished these ornaments in the past month:

The teddy design s a freebie on the DMC website.
The initial Santas are adapted from the Santa alphabet in LAs  Alphabets Galore booklet.
 The  bead decorated trees are my own design.

    So sorry for your loss. 91 is a good age and I'm sure you will all be sharing many memories of her long life this week.

    You have made some lovely ornies again. I can really appreciate the trees now I know how much work goes into them!
