This is another part of an Emma Congdon design of nine ugly sweaters and can be found in Cross Stitcher Magazine #377.
It's
stitched as charted with the called for DMC floss on white 14-count plastic canvas. I did change the carrot from 783 to 721 since carrots should be orange and not gold.
It's now an ornament that will be given to the local Ronald McDonald House this coming Christmas.

This is called Birdhouse Coaster and was distributed by MCG Textiles. It was a circular chart that I found loose in my stash, but I don't know where I got it. I'm assuming that it was part of a series, but I don't even know that.
It's
stitched as charted with the called for DMC on 14-count white plastic canvas.
Instead of making it into a coaster, I'm going to make it into a magnet and display it on my refrigerator. Yes, it's one of the rare items that I stitched for myself.

The Present Kitten is the last of the six kittens in the Christmas Kittens Kit from Design Works that I'm working on this month and was designed by Marianne Savage. There is one more kitten that I'll be stitching next month since it hasn't been started yet.
It's stitched mostly as charted with the provided floss on 14-count white plastic canvas which was also provided. The only exception is that I mistakenly did the stitches on the red stripes in black when they should have been done in white. I also ran out of several colors and had to dig into my stash to replace them.
I plan on adding a felt backing and a hanger made of beads to make an ornament. This is another ornament that will go into the box for Ronald McDonald's House next Christmas.

The Wreath Kitten is another one of six kittens in the Christmas Kittens Kit from Design Works and was designed by Marianne Savage.
It was started, as were the other kittens from this kit, as part of the Christmasitis SAL in November/December 2020.
It's stitched as charted with the provided floss on 14-count white plastic canvas from my stash, since it required a restart, because I found an error that couldn't be fixed without a LOT of frogging.
I plan on adding a felt backing and a hanger, probably made of beads to make an ornament. This is another ornament that will go into the box for Ronald McDonald's House next Christmas.
