January's Smalls
These are the smalls I got done for January's Smalls SAL. Both were technically WIPs - I had started the flip flop last spring, and the bear who knows when. They obviously need to be finished into ornament/frame, but the stitching is done.

WIPocalypse Jan. 2015
I'm on a major cross-stitch kick right now. Let's see how long it lasts. :p
Current* WIPs:
1. Flags of the World 14 flags in!
2. An ornament kit that had to have been my mom's originally (then sister's), as it is copyrighted 1989, and I was still in elementary school and hadn't started cross-stitching then.
*I have others. Just counting the ones I've worked on this decade. :p
Goals:
1. Do 5 flags a week, which will equal 40 weeks total and a mid-October finish. I have also been reading a (very little) bit about each country when I stitch its flag.
2. Do one frame of Storytime SAL by The Frosted Pumpkin each month, as they come out. Would also like to read the book each frame is from every month, assuming we already own it or it's easily obtainable (read: free or crazy cheap on Kindle).
3. Do at least one Christmas ornament kit every month. I have so many it's ridiculous.
4. Gallifreyan alphabet from cloudfactory for the husbandperson. I was going to do it for his birthday. Which is in 8 days. So no. Maybe anniversary instead (not 'til December. Procrastination built right in!).
Would-like-to-do:
1. Perhaps this ornament SAL. I'd finish them differently though, the stuffed biscornu thing has never really appealed to me.
2. Possibly this flower SAL. So pretty, especially July.
Our local Joann Fabrics closed up. Sad! I maaaay have gotten 283 skeins of floss one day (marked down to just 10 cents each). In my defense, I didn't have a thread stash, as I've almost exclusively done kits up to this point. So yeah. That's my excuse, sticking to it, etc. :)
