Linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher for the February edition of her Smalls SAL!
I swear I've had my entry for this SAL ready for a week, and yet here I am, posting it way late again...my blogging discipline is starting to slip again, but here we are at last! Someone, I think it was Jo, gave me the idea to pick up some of those small kits that come with cross stitch magazines, as I have several of those in my stash. I had wanted to stitch this one for ages, but as it has two seperate sides to stitch, it was always just a little big too big for when I needed a quick, small finish. Now I'm working on it during my Pen&Paper groups and progressing reasonably quickly.
This is Hetty Hedgehog from Cross Stitcher Issue 291:
As you can see, I finished one side and made a good start on the other. Hopefully, she'll be finished soon! She's very cute but I strongly dislike the floss that came with this kit. The lengths are cut WAY too short for my tastes, and I think it's 100% plastic. But it stitches up nicely enough, so I didn't bother swapping it out for such a small kit.

This is very cute!
I knew immediately it was a hedgehog! It's going to be so cute.
Very cute project, and good thing it will be done soon so you can go back to your preferred thread lengths. Funny how much of a difference that makes.
