*NEW* Festive Little Fobs : Woodland Edition

**PLEASE READ!** These charts will not be mailed until Monday, July 9th at the earliest. I'm offering them as a PRE-SALE because I will be closing my Etsy shop for 20 days of Summer Staycation, starting at the end of the business day on 7/9. If you put any other charts in the same cart as this one, they will also be held until the new design is ready to ship. If you miss the shop closing cut-off, you will still be able to get this chart when I re-open on 7/30. You will also be able to get them through any local or online needlework shop that gets their order placed with me before my vacation.

This series, unlike the others that I’m in the midst of, has a clear start and finish, as well as a total number of volumes. There will be 12 total, one for each month of 2018. Some will be seasonal, the rest will have general themes, good for any time of year. The intent is for there to be a whole lot of littles that you can stitch for friends and/or that you can fill a little tree with. Imagine if you worked your way through this entire series; with at least 9 different motifs per chart, that’s a total of 108 little ornaments or fobs that you could fill an old feather tree with. Or 108 friends that you could spoil with the labors of your hands.

I’ve included basic instructions for a few of the fob finishes, but I encourage you to explore the internet on your own for the fabulous DIY tutorials there are out there on Floss Tube and Pinterest. I’m far from being an expert finisher, and easily confess that my methods aren’t new. The Silver Dollar finish might be original, but the other finishes are the same that are already out there. If you’re not a person that likes to finish their own stitching, I’m sure you can find a willing person out there to do it beautifully for you for a fee.

Each new theme will remain a mystery until the date of it’s release, but I think you’re going to love them all!
