This is stitched over 1 on 32count Belfast Vintage Grain using the DMC conversion.</div>

By the way, what do you think the animal in number 4 is? A hare or a dog maybe?</div>

I am trusting the colour choices in this one, on the ring they are all shades of brown/sludge but once on the fabric they take on coloured hues, the little woman in 6 is a great example. She is stitched in 3021, 433 and 3782 but they look more like red and blue together.</div>

I first saw these designs on <a href="http://cazwa.blogspot.co.uk/2012_12_01_archive.html" target="_blank">Carin's Blog</a>. I adore her photography and the way she presents her stitching and to be absolutely honest her blog sold the design to me!<br />
<br />
Then I saw this SAL and knew it was the motivation to actually stitch them. I wasn't intending to stitch over 1, I got out my stash of neutral 32 counts and found I had 32 count in Vintage Grain which was close enough. The main thing I wanted to check was that Winter White would show up enough. Then I looked at the little designs and thought "these would look cute over 1" forgetting it's 32 not 28! Anyway, they have come out about the size of a postage stamp. So I'm thinking of brown luggage tags and a small tree to display them on. Here's 1, 2 and 3:</div>
