I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that

I have a confession to make....
I think I am addicted to SAL's.... that's assuming you can be addicted to SAL's! Or am I just a serial starter? Of course that one goes without saying.... which means I now have 2 confessions to make.... I am addicted to SAL's and I am a serial starter!!
As you know from previous posts, I am already involved in a number of SAL's this year... some more active than others on my part!!
The Lizzie Kate "Jingles" SAL is still happening and I will have an update in the next couple of days for that one. My other semi-active SAL is the "Hallowe'en Ornie 2014 Blog" SAL. I am behind in that one, but I have actually started stitching a larger design that covers off 2 or 3 months so that sort gets me back on target with that one. Again an update is due for that SAL in the next couple of days - so stay tuned!
My poor old Margaret Sherry SAL's have fallen a bit by the wayside recently.... but hopefully I will resurrect them again soon as I do miss the MS kitty!
So, shall I show you what SAL I have joined and started stitching now?? My latest SAL is a Facebook SAL group, and is one of many FB SAL groups that I follow and aspire to eventually start stitching! (Notice I said "eventually"....)
The weekend just gone was a SAL challenge within a SAL challenge for the group, and it was a good reason/excuse for me to start stitching on this new mystery SAL! Not that I really need an excuse to start something new....
Let me introduce to you my new start:
This is a mystery SAL, so as yet we don't know what the final piece will look like... but each of the boxes will have a face designed by Joan Elliott. I just adore Joan's designs so I couldn't resist starting this one....

Joan has released 3 faces so far.... but I am behind most of the other stitchers, so I can only show you the beginning of the borders. The next post will have the borders finished and the flowers added, and then I will be able to start on the 3 faces! Who knows I may be able to catch up before the next face gets released in another month or so!
So until I have more of my "Faces of JE" to show you, I will say bye for now.... see you again soon when I come back with more SAL updates!
Til next time, happy stitching!
Hugs xx

For myself I can tell itmust be stitching magazines no matter european or from USA.I love all pretty pictures in them the ,stories behind the industry and all beautifull new products..As well I am totallyaddicted to hand-dyed threads no matter thy are silks or cottons :)- and the serial starter would describe me too ..I am that type of stitcherwho enjoys 2the journey ...so I have now hurry to see my projects complited (of course the swaps are different thing..) Thankyou for visiting my blog..I am feeling better so there will be postsmore often I hope...
I think that we are all SS - Serial Starters or Serious Stitchers or Stitching Sisters - take your pick! It is what keeps us entertained! Good luck with your latest SAL.

I;m now a bit ill, but soon I will start our SAL too, and will stitch like crazy to gets up!!
I need to finish it by the ens of the year!!
I'm with you, always joining and falling behind! I stitched the border and the first face of the JE piece, didn't like the cat and haven't started the Summer Fairy yet. I'm feeling autumnal not summery! I will catch up though.
