SAL May-Black Hat Society #1

Time for another SAL update. I’m taking a small break from “Getting Ready”.

I have a project I want to do for a friend’s birthday at the end of the summer, so I thought I’d better start now.

The project is one I’ve done before and my friend really liked it, so I decided to make it for her birthday. It is a Halloween pattern from The Frosted Pumpkin call the Black Hat Society.

Here is where I am now. I forgot how fast this one is. Hopefully it won’t take to long to finish.

Please stop by and see what the others in the SAL are working on.

See you in 3 weeks.

And where I am now…..

March SAL-Getting Ready #11

It’s time for another SAL update. I was able to get some stitching in this time. I finished the lady’s other hand, the glass of wine, filled in the rest of the white lettering and started on the flowers in the vase. It felt good to use different colors besides black 😀

Here is where I was last update……

And today…..

Please check out what the others have been up to

See you next time…

February SAL-Getting Ready #10

I can’t believe it’s the last day of February already. This year is just flying by!

I have a mini happy dance to report this update. I finished the chalkboard! I finished all the black stitching and was able to do some of the backstitching of the words. I was so happy to see those words starting to take shape. At the bottom of the blackboard you can see the flowers shape and there is a little grey left to do. I also have some white left to do at the bottom, but I’m saying the blackboard is done 😀

Here is where I was last update……….

And now……..

I feel that now that I’m finished with the blackboard, I’m excited again to see the rest of this project progress.

Well I guess that is all for now. Please check out what the others have accomplished this update.

See you in 3 weeks

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…..
