October Smalls SAL

I've been a busy little stitcher this month!  I finished the mermaid freebie, Cowboy Dreams, and now this for the Smalls SAL...
This is The Little Stitcher's "Mother of the Harvest" freebie, stitched on a very pale green linen with DMC flosses (since my computer is still out for repair, I only have this cell phone pic, which doesn't show the color really well).  I think I will finish it as a small pillow, with the fabric in the pic and button embellishment.

In other stitchy news, I caved and signed up for Ship's Manor's Beautiful Sea Quaker SAL - I bought Erik's threads, too.  It was a great deal, and while Quaker designs aren't always my thing, the colors in this were just lovely.  Here's my start:
And I'm envisioning it stitched to the mermaid I finished earlier this month, maybe as a banner of some kind?  Here is the mermaid along with my floss  toss.
I'm hoping it could look like she has kind of "risen" out the sea below!
