December-Getting Ready #8

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was a very good one.

I was able to get some stitching done in between Christmas preparations.

Here is where I was last update…….

And now………

I was able to get just above the second arm. You can see the shape of the wine glass.

Hopefully I’ll be able to get more stitching in soon, but if not any stitching is good.

Please check out what the others are up to and I’ll see you in 3 weeks.

December-SAL- Getting Ready #7

With the holidays upon us, I’m losing track of the days, I’m so busy 🤪. Usually I’m a day ahead, which isn’t a bad time, because when I remember something it’s usually for tomorrow not today. Not so this time. I woke up this morning and realized that I forget to post an update yesterday. So sorry about that!

I was able to get some stitching in and have made a little progress. Here is where I was 3 weeks ago…….

And here is where I am today…….

I finished most of the lady’s arm and am now on the second half of the chalkboard. I’m thinking I have enough of the top of the blackboard done that I could start the backstitching. Will see how it goes.

I guess that is all for now. Be sure and check out what the others in the SAL have been working on.

See you in 3 weeks…..

Here is where I was last update…..

Thanks for stopping by and please check out what the others in the SAL have been doing.

See you in 3 weeks….

October-SAL #2

I haven’t been able to get any stitching these last 3 weeks, so I don’t have anything to show this update. 😩. Hopefully life will slow down and I’ll be able to get some stitching in soon.

Please check out what the others in the SAL have been up to, I’m sure they have more to show you then I do, lol. See you in three weeks.

October-SAL Getting Ready#5

I can’t believe it is October already.

Getting Ready is at a stand still, and has no progress, since I have been mainly working on Mystery Town. So here is were I was 3 weeks ago (and still am 😀) on Getting Ready.

I’m not putting this project in “timeout”. I’m enjoying working on it and am just putting it on the back burner, while I work on Mystery Town.

I did make good progress on Mystery Town. Here is where I was 3 weeks ago.

And where I am today.

I’m almost finished with the first clue. As you can see it is going to be a broom shop. I can’t wait to see what the other shops will be.

Please check out what the others in the SAL have been working on and I’ll see you for the next update in 3 weeks.

September-SAL-Getting Ready # 4

I know I say this a lot, but the last 3 weeks really flew by. I can’t believe it’s time already for a SAL update.

Here is where I was with Getting Ready three weeks ago……

And this is where I am today……

I was able to get to the lady’s arm. You can even start to see her hand taking shape.

I am also starting to work on some Halloween projects. I’m working on a mystery Halloween piece by The Frosted Pumpkin. It called Midnight Way. So far I’m liking it.

Here is what the first 2 clues look like.

I’m a little behind with the clues, as I’ve just started, but that’s Ok by me.

Here is where I am….

I want to work on both of these the next 3 weeks. I don’t want to stop work on Getting Ready, but want to finish the new one by Halloween. We’ll see what happens.

Please stop by the other members of the SAL and see what they have been doing.

See you in three weeks….

Here is what the finished project will look like……

And where I was last update……

And now…….

Hopefully next time I’ll have the chalkboard done.

Please check out the others int the SAL are up to…..

August -SAL Getting Ready #2

Well it time again for a SAL update. It’s hard to believe it’s August already.

I was able to get some stitching done. It’s hard to see a lot of it as it’s mostly off-white on a white canvas 🤪

Here is what the finished project is going to look again…..

Where I was 3 weeks ago…..

And now……..

This is the upper left hand corner. I was able to start the chalk board. It sure feels good to be able to do some stitching again.

Please check out what the others have been doing in the stitch-a-long.

See you in 3 weeks for another update.

July-SAL Getting Ready #1

Hello everyone, it’s that time again for a Stitch-A-Long update. Wow these last 3 weeks just flew by.

I’m afraid I don’t have much to share this time. I have tried to be monogamous to my backstitching, but it just not working for me. 😩 It seems that I find other craft projects to do, just so I don’t have to backstitch. So yesterday I made the decision to start another project. I’m not going to put my other project away, I’ll still work on it a little at a time, but I’m missing cross-stitching, hence the new project.

So here is the little I got done on my backstitching………

Last update….

And now…..

I was able to get the tree, snowshoes and half the moose backstitched.

The project I started is the one I mentioned a couple of updates ago. It’s called “Getting Ready”

Here is what it will look like when I’m done……

As I said I started it yesterday, so I haven’t much stitching done and what little I’ve done is hard to see right now as it’s off white thread on a white background. I started in the upper left hand corner.

Hopefully I’ll have more to share next time. See you in 3 weeks.

Please check out what the others in the SAL have done.
