Neglected Floss SAL - January 2018

Happy New Year!  

And once again I get to help with a new Neglected Floss SAL pattern!  YAY!

This year is doing something different and if you are interested in what it is, go take a gander on the montly NFSAL post

 What is Neglected Floss Stitch Along?  It is a wonderful way for everyone to utilize that floss that has been hanging around your stash.  For some, it probably bothers you just a tiny bit that you have these flosses that never get used or there is just a tiny bit left of some specialty floss that you may never use again from a kit. Here is the best way to ensure you use every one of your stashed flosses at least once, or finish them off entirely!  Gif.

January's pattern didn't inspire anything unusual for me, not that I didn't like it or anything, just nothing to make me want to do something outlandishly different.  I liked the colors already and thought it would make a great biscornu, so that was the direction I headed in.  AND it was exciting to cross stitch something after a week and a half of just sewing and sewing and sewing!   

Figuring out a back/bottom of the biscornu was a bit difficult.  Originally I was going to have the NFSAL pattern be the bottom but couldn't find a top that I liked to go with it.  Then I decided to make it the top and just make up my own bottom.  It was a lot of stitch and frog but I eventually made something I liked.

No, I did not have the time to put the actual biscornu together but I plan to as soon as possible; probably in a day or two, and then I'll post a pic of it.

In any case, I hope everyone's new year will be filled with peace, love, and creativity.
