Today is a Wonderful Day It's Small Sals Sharing Day

This is my Finished Small for April 2016.  This design appeared in a Cross-Stitch and Needlework Magazine.

These are DMC threads, I switched out the overdyes.  The colors look brighter, and I really am trying to bring some Sunshine into the Dark Days of April
 
Take a hop over to Heather's Stitching Lotus to see all the wonderful April Finishes happening in the Small Sal 2016.
April 2016 Small
 Here is an update on Silent Night Cardinals. I did not get all the green finished this week, but was happy with my progress
 Here is My Red Nutcracker.  He is Nutcracker #3 for my 2016 Yearly Goal of 12 Nutcrackers. .  Looking pretty good now and he will have his head soon .
Work is killing me this week,  My co-worker is on vacation and I am so behind in my blog reading.  I read all my favorite blogs during my breaks and lunch at work.  Hope to get caught up soon.

  7. I love the bright colours of Bloom. We could do with some brightness around - it's so dark and dull here today.

  15. Your little Bloom finish is so lovely, just perfect for this time of the year. So wonderful to see thehtrees getting leaves now, and the different flowers coming out and spreading their colours. I love this time of the year.
    Nice progress on the other two smalls.
    Hopefully your colleague will be back soon :)

    1. Great projects Melinda, well done. I answered your question on MY blog about the hangers for my small stitching, they came with the kits, every kit has a different colour hanger!
