February Smalls update!

I hope everyone had a nice Valentines day. My DH spoiled me rotten and will explain that after my smalls.
Time for the February smalls update and I have been a busy stitcher. Completed more than a dozen this month.
I stitched and finished
3 Little House Needleworks Hot Cocoa flat ornaments.

A tiny heart sewn into a sachet. This was a blog freebie. The blog, which is on my side bar, has many biscornu and smalls freebies for download. I plan to use this motif for a biscornu.

The first snowman block, on a pillow, Ursula Michael SAL. Using #8 perle cottons and light effects.

All four letters of the first instalment of the Lesley Tear ABC Blocks SAL. Stitching each block on an Anne Cloth afghan.

 Using #032 pearl Kreinik blending filament with DMC floss. And Kreinik #4 braid for the back stitching.

Another SAL is being hosted by palkolap.blogspot
A monthly. Each pattern is released, to a stitcher, on the first of each month. The current month has to be stitched, picture emailed, before the next month is emailed to you.
January and february completed into flat ornaments

 I wanted flat ornaments, rather than a sampler.

Also finished two more Lizzie Kate Santa 2000

Now for the Valentines Day DH surprised me with.
I asked him not to buy me 4 boxes of candy like he did last year. DH says it is not Valentines without candy. So I relented and asked for one box and a plant.  What did he do....

 Bought a TWO pound box. Then said "well you told me you only wanted one box!"

Another thing he did was to claim to update my Ipad. In January I was oohhing and aahhing over a sale that Keepsake Needlearts was having. Telling him how they were selling two 60$ Lanarte kit for $16.99. That night DH asked me if I had updated my Ipad lately. Told him yes, but I still have problems with it (getting old like the rest of us), he still thought maybe all the updates were not done. About two weeks later, just in time for Valentines, DH brings in a box for me. This was what was in the box.

 From Keepsake Needlearts. Everything I had looked at he ordered.

 I finally ordered a Polstitches hand dyed fabric grab bag. Each piece is 9x13 inches. This is the selection of fabric. I am thoroughly pleased with the colors. There are even two opalescent.

Now to find projects worthy of such pretty fabrics.
I hope everyone is managing to stay warm in this deep freeze weather.
Happy stitching!
