First finishes of 2011!

Happy New Year to everyone! Starting off the stitching year with some smalls....another Kitty Kalendar for May, and my monthly biscornu. I'm going to stitch all 12 of the Val's Stuff Kitties and switch them out of a single frame monthly (not to mention using them on my Facebook page each month).
This tiny biscornu is another freebie from Tor Rhuann Designs under "Getting Squared Away", which has 4 patterns, this one being the Scissors design. It was stitched on 32ct pearl linen with gold treasure braid and DMC. My college class ring is shown for scale, just so you can see how small it really is! I am starting my monthly biscornus this year with this design and other small designs that I can actually wear as a necklace just by adding a small bail for a plain gold chain.
I was running out of places to put my biscornu (have been making them since 2007) had a brainstorm!
