M-W-F SAL updates!

It's so fun to stitch on a certain project in a SAL on 5 days of the week.  It helps me to remember what day it is when I wake up!  I stitch on other random pieces every day with no set rotation schedule.  I have seen some stitchers use a random number generator to choose what to stitch, too!

Mr. Mittens update #5

My Monday snowman, Mr. Mittens, has shoes and another glove.  He will get a few more gloves and a sweater soon, then finally his snowman face!

BBQ Queen update #5

My Wednesday summer lady, BBQ Queen, finally has a face and is starting to get some hair.

Halloween House update #8

I decided to stitch on the side of the doorway to the window with a green goblin peeking out.  He will look so cute when he gets his back-stitching done.

Fractal 156 update #1

On one of the non-SAL days, I spent some time on the Fractal.  The confetti sections are downright vicious, with a different color in every square!  But I finally got to a small circle with shades of pink.  This is what it will look like when it's finished (Fractal 156 Bookmark).  Cross Stitch Collectibles has over 360 fractal charts, a large version and a smaller bookmark version, which is 5.25" x 14.25", much bigger than a bookmark.  They offer a different free fractal pattern each month.

Today it's Saturday, so it's time to start my Prairie Schooler SAL weekend!

Days #41-#43

Linda and I are starting new projects for every day in February.  Here are three more new ones!

 

Day #41 is Fractal 156 from Cross Stitch Collectibles.  I really like this design and can't wait to see how it turns out.  I'm using 14 ct black Aida, so I won't have to stitch the black background.  My daughter says it's psychedelic!  This pattern has 88 different colors, and I'm still missing 22 of the floss colors, so I'll have to put it aside for awhile until I stock up.  I plan to go to JoAnn's on Monday with my 20% off entire purchase coupon!

Day #42 is Kitty Wreath, a cute ornament from Wal-Mart from way back when they used to have a cross stitch department.  I might keep this one or give it to my friend.  We both have kitties like this.

Day #43 is Burnt to Perfection by Sue Hillis Designs.  I am stitching this on 28 ct Tea-Dyed Monaco.  I think I will give this one to my brother, who does most of the cooking for his family.  The finished size will be 5" x 7".
