I'm stitching hearts that I recently claimed to avoid.
I mentioned Needle 'n Thread, Mart Corbet's site for all you need to know about needlework. Another is Jean Farish Needleworks. This tiny heart on 36 count (you can see my attempt to increase its size) is a free chart from her site here. 
There are others also, listed in the left hand column along with her post titles. The Americana Sampler Flag is one of them, here.
My plan was to stitch individual hearts, stuff to finish, and then I went to her site for a look. Change of plans. I will do all three on 40 count for a tiny fob (a humbug), and follow her tutorial. It is floss tube #27, here. Check out her site if you haven't seen it, loads of good information, links to charts and floss tube. I am anxious to do that edge finish, perfectly shown in her tutorial.
There is another shape I am not familiar with called a Pendibule, designs for this finish are from Durene Jones on Etsy, here. In the UK, new to me, loads of smalls in various finishes. I found quite a few I would like to order such as this scissor case.
And this one.
Have a good weekend.

Fun stuff!
Happy Saturday. Miserable day here in northern Ohio so I don’t have to feel guilty about not doing yardwork 🤣🤣🤣
Great finds and shares. Have a relaxing weekend.
Oh...this looks like a fun rabbit hole into which to fall. But you go first and I will follow. ;-)
The scissor cases are gorgeous!
I remember stitching a few of Jean's designs back in the 80s. I am glad to see her make a resurgence over the past few years. Thanks for the reminder about her website, Marly. Happy Sunday!
