Small SAL Check In February

     

It is the day to share our Small Sal at Stitching Lotus

Here he is.  He is a combination of two different motives I found in Cross Stitch and Needlework March 2009, while I was stitching my Easter Basket.  He is really very small.  I have blogged in the past about the crazy St. Patrick's Celebrations in my city - Syracuse New York.  The green beer arrives at the local Irish Pub on Tipp Hill.  In fact here in Syracuse we call it Green Beer Sunday  

And I just couldn't post about St Pats Day without mentioning again our Upside Down Traffic Light

If the weather is decent on Green Beer Sunday you will not even be able to drive the streets of Tipp Hill.  I will not be attending, but will celebrate at home, a little food coloring will do the trick.  

It is on to March Madness - for the States it is the Month of Crazy College Basketball ( I am a huge fan) and now my stitching will be crazy too.  Will post again next week with March Stitching plans.

Hands On Design 

If you live in Syracuse, New York, it is hard not to caught up in St. Patrick's Day.  If you lived most of your life on the West Side - than you are most definitely connected to the celebrations.  The Green Beer will be delivered to Colemans Pub this weekend - the only bar in town with the Phone booth for leprechauns and also if you look on the right hand side - bottom right next to the front door of the pub you will see the little door for the leprechauns.

So it only makes sense - I would always have a Patrick Day Stitch on my to do list.
This month I did two for the Small SAL - Thanks Heather at Stitching Lotus for hosting.

Last Wednesday of Month Ornament

This is my February Ornament Finish.  It is from Stoney Creek - Season of Joy Book.  I am going to try very hard in the Month of March to find a design that is not Christmas Green and Christmas Red.  We are a Candy Cane, Peppermint family, so this will work great on the tree.  Fingers crossed I will get it "tree ready" before 12/25/2013.  I joined the Ornament SAL over at Stitching Lotus, take a peak at her blog to see all wonderful ornaments stitched this month.

Christmas Stitching is so much fun.
