Monthly Ornament SAL - February

Dear friends and fellow bloggers,

I hope everyone is having a good February so far. I have been watching the Winter Olympics when I can. I can't get used to the time zone though. The live action is on at around 2:00 in the morning, obviously I definitely don't watch it live. So then I don't know if I'm watching the highlights that were that day or the previous! But I do like watching the Olympics, even the sports I don't get to see regularly.

For the February Monthly Ornament SAL I chose to stitch a very quick piece, A Merry Little Christmas by The Drawn Thread. I am positive this is a freebie gift but I have no recollection from where I printed it. If anyone knows please let me know so that I can update this post with the information. Surprisingly, for me, this only took a couple of hours to stitch. On the chart photo it is trimmed in green but I liked the red to bring out the wording.
