Mary at Mary's Thread hosts the Smalls SAL on the last Friday of each month. It's been a few months since my last Smalls report, but I have a few finishes to show today.
I finished my Kooler 12 Days of Christmas set (designer Sandy Orton), and they are packed away waiting for Christmas. I really like this set. They are so bright and colourful. I was stitching one Day per month till we got halfway through the year, when I started panicking that I wouldn't get them finished in time for Christmas decorating. So I finished the rest to make sure they would be there when I need them. This year I will have three 12 Days sets to display. They will be decorating an internal door. I shall run ribbons right around the door top to bottom, and peg the ornaments to the ribbons.
I stitched a Baby's First Christmas ornament for my newest great- niece, and another for a family friend (that one is not yet finished up). I have two more of these to make this year. The teddy design was an on-line freebie that I got many years ago. I've lost the details, but I think it was from DMC, though it is not on their website now.
I made some bead decorated Christmas trees (my own design). I love making these!
These five ornaments are for a long-term friend and her grandchildren - two sisters in New Zealand and two brothers in England. The children's ornaments are Jeanette Crews designs. I swapped beads for stitches in the angels' wings. My friend's ornament is adapted from a design by Susan Greening Davis published in JCS Christmas Ornament issue 2015
Finally, I made another 6 tiny stocking ornaments. The Santa in these stockings is adapted from Kooler's Littlest Stocking chart. The trees and the stocking finish are my own designs.

Your smalls are beautiful, you are so kind to stitch for everyone making memories and treasured gifts.
Love all the ornaments Lynn! I would love to see your door when you decorate it at Christmas.
I love that 12 Days series so much. I would like to see the display photos too this Christmas.
I agree with you about the tree ornaments they are my favourites too!
Your needle must have been smoking this month. I love all of your ornaments, too.
You always make such lovely ornaments for everyone. I love the little stockings and the beaded Christmas trees. I really must start thinking about doing some Christmas stitching soon.
