SAL Update

Wow three weeks can go fast!

Stitching:

This is a picture of the project that has set on my shelf for the past eleven years). This year I am determined and it at least sits on my coffee table now. This is where I was at three weeks ago.

And this is where I am now:

It still doesn’t seem to look like much. I have put 188 stitches in since the last update. I have finished the columns that I had left undone (yes I try to work evenly across the columns and rows, but I did purposely try to do some more of the green as I figured that would at least. I think you may still have to take my word for it that I’ve done some stitching on this.🤣 Kathy’s suggestion to keep track of my stitches definitely inspires me, though we will see how far I can keep increasing to. Oh well, it’s still better than the eleven previous years!

SAL Update

I can’t believe it’s already been three weeks!

Stitching:

This is a picture of the project that has set on my shelf for the past eleven years. (And I’m sorry I didn’t realize I had it upside down on the last update). This year I am determined and it at least sits on my coffee table now. This is where I was at three weeks ago.

And this is where I am now:

It still doesn’t seem to look like much. I have filled in the curtain a bit more and started on the work basket contents. Kathy you will laugh as I did keep track of my stitches again and I put in 135 stitches this time which beat my 125 from the last update. I find I can only stitch on really bright days so that can be difficult when we have so many grey, rainy days. Oh well, it’s still better than the eleven previous years!

SAL Update

I wanted to do this separately so that people who don’t want to know about my life don’t have to wade through that!

Stitching:

This is a picture of the project that has set on my shelf for the past eleven years. Yhis year I am determined and it at least moved onto the coffee table. This is where I was at. This is where I am at now:

I know it’s not a ton of progress, but that tie back wasn’t there before! I just counted and I put in 125 stitches over the past three weeks. I know I can do better, but it is more progress than I’ve made in the past eleven years:)

My First SAL update

Note: I’m sorry for no blog post last night. I went for my first iron infusion and landed myself in the ER when I reacted adversely. I didn’t get home until 1am:(. I promise I’ll get back to telling you about my life tonight.

Stitching:

Last year I had as one of my goals, to finish a cross stitch project I had started many years ago. Well it didn’t even move off the shelf. So this year I joined a Stitch a Long to get my butt in motion and get it done. Today is my first post. Here is where I am at. This was all done many years ago as I have to admit that I haven’t even touched this project in the past eleven years!! I have to admit the first picture I took was actually sideways and I didn’t even realize it. Boy is that embarrassing to admit!

This SAL has already worked as the project has at least moved from my shelf to the coffee table! I will definitely want to do something on it before our next post in three weeks.
