Slow Sunday Stitching: 2016

I like to keep a bowl full of small cross stitch projects in my front hallway.  This is today's project to add to my January display.  There are a few more borders to add.

This was my bowl last January.  You can see I found the same designer's freebie last year.  I love switching around my display for the seasons.

Linking up today with Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts

Animal Advent 15

Just finished this little guy.  # 15 in the "Animal Advent" series of free patterns from Brooke's Books.

I have a stack of these now to turn into ornaments, and I'm trying to decide how I want to do them.  Hopefully I can finish up the whole series in 2016.  For some reason, I ended up stitching some of these out of order, so I'll tackle #14 next.  That one features the animal that is baking cookies.  Very cute.

I have signed up again this year with a facebook group to work on 15 different projects in the first 15 days of the new year.  It was a fun challenge last year and I ended up finishing more than 15 and getting to some projects which had been on my wish list for a long time.
