Super close!!! It's actually 2 coffee mugs, and the steam is going to form a heart, and backstitching will say "I love you a latte" I had none of the original colors (which is really odd) so I changed everything. My favorite color is purple and his is black, but that doesn't make for a good cross stitch mug, so I choose green instead.

What pretty ornaments. I love all your projects

Way cute! I need the little projects so I don't feel overwhelmed by the big ones...I need finishes!

Awesome finish!! So very cute!!

So cute!

Thats really cute I love the heart made from the steam!

I've just scrolled through your SAL. Great projects. I especially like small ones too. I seem to focus on ornaments and greeting cards; however I'm branching out. Keep up the great work and fun follow-along!

WOW what a huge difference the b/s made on this fun design. Love it.

Finished up the January ornament:


I didn't use all the recommended colors, I had some Crescent Colors Wild Berries & Weeks Mocha for the coffee mug & the berries. Except for the spacing issue I'm pleased with it.

And here's what I've got done for my cousins' cipher (monogram):


There's still stuff to be done in the middle and I was poking around trying to decide what font to use for her last name and if I wanted to do "Est. May 17, 2014 or Established May 17, 2014 or 5-17-2014" or something else! I've still got time.

All lovely work. Really like the colour of the H and the cute coffee mugs!!!
