Smalls SAL report for October

I'm happy to be able to make a Smalls SAL report this month.  It seems like quite a while since my last one.  I have stitched and finished four little Christmas ornaments in the past couple of weeks.  First, a Baby's First Christmas ornament for my niece's new daughter.

 Teddy is a DMC on-line freebie

 And three Christmas ornaments for three young pre-school boys who are first cousins.

The candy cane design is from a monthly calendar printed in a very old issue of
an  American cross stitch magazine (Just Cross  Stitch I think)

This will probably be my final Smalls Report for this year, as I have now reached the end of my stitching list for 2017.  I'll be back in 2018.  I have enjoyed being part of the Smalls SAL.

    Special, handmade stitched ornaments are the best. I cherish every one my Grandma and Mom made for me! Your family is lucky to have a stitcher to give them these things! :)

    A first Christmas ... that's a special one for new parents - a lovely ornament to remind them in years to come.

    Lovely ornaments Elfie. I agree with RJ, a first Christmas memento is particularly special
