Small finish and HAP SAL progress

I recently had a small finish.  It's a Santa Claus ornament by TLC Designs, called Santa II.  This was a kit I'd had for years.  I'd tried to sell the unopened kit in my Etsy shop but didn't have any takers, so I decided I might as well stitch it up. 

I think he turned out rather well.  This next Christmas, he'll go on my Santa tree in my home office.  (I put up 3 trees every year.)

Here he is:

Now for my HAP SAL progress in the past month!  I've had progress on 2 of my HAPs.

The first is God Speed.  Here's where I started:

And here it is with the next page finished:

I've gone from 23.07% to  26.87% done!

I tried to also finish the partial page I had left on La Belle Dame Sans Merci, but I didn't quite make it.

Here's where I was at the end of last month:

...and here is how much I finished on that partial page:

So on that one, I've gone from 48.21% to roughly 49.16%.  Not too shabby for only a few days work!




Happy Stitching!
