SAL-June Update

Wow time sure has flown by. I’m sorry I missed the last update. It’s hard to believe 6 weeks has pasted already. I was on vacation in Europe, and then the jet lag kicked my butt 😀.

I’m  afraid I don’t have much progress to report. I have gotten some stitching in, just kind of hard to see the progress.

Here is where I was the last time I updated.

And here is where I’m at now.

As I said it’s hard to see much difference. Hopefully next time I’ll have more done and it will be easier to see a difference.
Please check out the other stitchers in the SAL and what they have done. There is even a finished project or two.

May Update

Sorry there is no update this time. I’m still on holiday and have had very little stitching time.  Hopefully I’ll have more done on the next update.

I was able to get more stitching in this time. I finished the 3rd section and have started the last section.

SAL Update, February

Well it’s that time again, time sure did fly. 

I didn’t have as much down time these last 3weeks, but still got a lot done. I really like how the picture is coming together. I finished the last section and line work. So glad I decided to do the line work before I start a new section, it gave me a few problems and I’m not sure I would of finished it is I was done with everything. 
What it looked like last update. 

And now. 

I think I’m ready to be done though, I’m already thinking about what I want to stitch next. 😀 (but I’ll finish this one before I start something new!)

SAL Update – Delicate Wicket #2

I can’t believe it has been three weeks already. I was able to get a lot done again this time. I’m taking advantage of the down time I have now, because I know it won’t always be this way 😀

Here is went I had done last time….

I finshed the line work on the part I was working on last time. I then started the next section and am almost done, except for a little more line work. I’m really pleased with the way it is turning out. I’m also glad I decided to do the line work as I finish each section, because I’m already not wanting to work on it. I’m telling myself that I can’t start a new section until I finish and it is working so far. 

Another update in three weeks  

Don’t for get to visit the other ladies in the SAL and see want they have done.

Cross-stitching

Well it’s been awhile since I have posted. Life has been super busy. I have been crafting, just not posting. 
One of the many crafts I like to do is cross-stitch. I haven’t done much of it for a long time, but I follow a few blogs that cross-stitch. On one of the blogs she was doing an update on her project. She was talking about a SAL she was in. Now I’ve heard of a KAL (Knit A Long) and CAL (Crochet A Long), but not a SAL. Well the SAL is a Stitch A Long. The way it works is that you work on any cross-stitch project you want and have a schedule of updates. I really liked this idea, working on whatever you want and having accountability. Win/win 😀.  Sign me up 😀   So this is my first update……..
It was hard to decide which project I wanted to do. I had a lot of kits that I wanted to get to, some day. I also had quite a few projects I have started and not finished for one reason or another. After much thought I decided to work on this one 

I really like this scene. It reminds me of Italy, which is one of my favorite places. 

I have really enjoyed working on this project. I wasn’t sure I would, it is very monochromatic right now. I decided to to work on only a fourth of the project at a time. I think some times in the past I have worked to big of an area and made mistakes.  

It finally quieted down after Christmas and my husband had to have a scoping on his knee, so I’ve had some time to work on this and have gotten a lot done. 

I have finished the upper left corner. Just have to do the line work. I’m going to try to do the line work as I go, since I noticed I had a few projects done except for that. 
I will update this project on January 29th. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep my momentum. 

Here are the other ladies who are doing the SAL. Please check out the beautiful work they are doing.
