SAL July #2

Well I’m a little late getting this post out. We had a lot of family staying with us this weekend, so some stuff got put on hold.

Not much to share this time. I did a 4th of July sampler. I have finished it except for 3 scallops on the bottom row, so I’m going to say it’s a happy dance 😀

I haven’t been cross stitching much this last 3 weeks, because I’ve been working on my Ivy over the Door shawl. I’m almost halfway done. I’m really liking this shawl.

Be sure to check out what the others are have been doing. This time we have a returning member, Catherine and a new member, Deborah

SAL July

Sorry I’m late getting this update posted. I was out of town and didn’t have internet connection 😔

I did get quite a bit of stitching in. I decided to start the Welcome Spring sampler. I’m having a lot of fun stitching these samplers. They are on the smaller side and easy to work on. The finished pieces are 4″ X 4 1/2″

So here is my Hello Spring

I also received the July animal for Into The Jungle. This month is a cute little monkey.

And here is the piece so far.

Be sure to check out what the others in the SAL have been up to.

SAL-June

Today I get to celebrate 2 happy dances!

The first Dance is that I finally have caught up on my Into The Jungle SAL.

Here is where I was last update.

Here I’m am now.

May’s critter was an alligator.

And June’s critters were a couple of cockatiels.

It sure feels good to be caught up.

I caught up and then had 2 weeks until the update. So I had to find something else to work on. I decided to do The Frosted Pumpkin’s Hello Summer.

This is such a cute and easy project. So here is happy dance #2

There are 4 projects in this series. Not sure if I’ll start the next one or something different.

Make sure you check out what the others in the SAL have been up to.

SAL-May #2

Hello everyone. Wow those 3 weeks went by fast. I’m home now and trying to get over jet lag. The only good thing about 15 hours in a plane is that you get where you want to be, but also have lots of uninterrupted stitching time, as there is really nothing else to do 😀

Here’s were I was last time.

I finished the bottom border and moved on to the animals. I finished the frog and am almost finished with the tiger. Next is a crocodile, then I’ll have to wait and see what June’s animal is. They were so fun to stitch. So I’m close to catching up so I think I’ll have to find a second project to work on. Oh darn lol.

Be sure to check out what the others have been working on.

Update time for the SAL.

I was able to get some stitching done, but not a whole lot as we are traveling. One nice thing is that we were on a Trans-Atlantic cruise so we had quite a few days at sea. On the sea days we had a good lecturer I would go and listen to. I would bring my cross-stitching, so was able to get some work done.

Here is where I was last time.

And what I’ve finished so far. Almost done with the border. I’m ready to get some of the animals done 😀

Be sure to check out what the others have been working on……….

See you in 3 weeks.

SAL-April

It’s that time for another update for the SAL.

If you remember last time I had made all the boxes for the animals and was really nervous about it. Well I did make a mistake and was off by 4 stitches. Luckily it was on the right hand boxes and will be easy to fix.

You can see in the picture above the fixed box with the toucans and the wrong one above. So close 😀

So here is where I was last time.

And now.

I finished the top border and the toucans. Almost finished with the bottom border. Next is a really cute toad and a adorable lion. Going to catch up soon, hopefully next time. 😀

Be sure and check out what everyone else is doing. We have a returning member Timothy And a new member. Megan

SAL-March #2

I told you I’d be back soon, lol. These weeks just seem to fly by.

I’m still working on catching up on my Into The Jungle mystery SAL. Here is where I was last time. I had almost finished my sloth.

I was able to finish January’s clue and started working on February.

Here is January’s finish, I was really nervous to make all those boxes. One wrong stitch count and I could be in big trouble. I counted and recounted many times so I think it is right. We’ll see as I start filling in the boxes. 😏

And here is what I have so far. February’s clue has a leaf border on the top and bottom with the words Into The Jungle on the top. As you can see I did get the first word in. There is also going to be a couple of toucans in the box to the right.

Hopefully by the next update I’ll have finished February and March’s clue.

We have 2 new members this time, welcome Hayley andTony. Be sure and check out what they and the others have been doing.

Until next time.
