My current stitch project is to decorate my fulled slippers. Tonight I did the top rose. It just looked sad with two small roses, but this is much better.
I’m not sure how to continue… Is it done? More roses? Something green?
I have the other slipper to decorate too, so I might be done next winter or so 
Edit: Maybe some of these on the other slipper?

Beautiful, they look so cosy! I think some little green leaves would look great!

Is there more colour in some of the other months? It’s going to look so lovely with all the houses together

Yes, I think so, at least there were lots of bright colours listed in the key! But it’s a SAL of typically British houses so it’s not that surprising that there’s a large amount of greys and browns. The light isn’t great in our temporary accomodation so that doesn’t help either.
The houses are seasonal, so the first one (January - Edinburgh) has little colour and lots of snow, the second one is getting better (February - Harrogate) and I expect a bit more colour in spring.

Here’s my inspired by music stitch for Feb!
I have been going through my scrap piles lately for various projects and I came across this center square that was a cut off from a quilt block. The “sunshine” stamped scrap was a cast away from another project. When I put the two together I couldn’t get this song out of my head…so it became a little mug rug/coaster!

These are pretty, I hope they’re in the sampler! I’m still stuck at Harrogate but so far we’ve got Edinburgh, Harrogate, London and Belfast. I’m hoping for York as well, since that’s one of my favourite UK cities. York also wins the prize for best haberdashery shop in the UK, Duttons for Buttons.

Good to know for whenever I next venture that far North.

Those look like stripped down Victorians!
Or maybe like “little boxes on the hillside…”
Which both make me think of San Francisco.
