If you're not sure what this particular SAL is all about.... Jo from Serendipitous Stitching hosts this SAL - the link to my post late last year about the SAL is here.... but essentially this SAL is about stitching charts/kits or using fabrics & threads that we have received as gifts, won in giveaways or anything that is intended be a gift or giveaway prize... or anything else that you can loosely use the word "gift" for!!  If you wish to sign up for this SAL, click on the button below or the button on my sidebar and you will be re-directed to Jo's blog.

Crazy January Challenges - Stitching Updates....

Remember all those lovely designs that I started stitching throughout January, well I have tried to make a big effort to keep stitching on them throughout February.  I did show you some of them in my stitching updates over the last couple of weeks - post link are here and here... and now I have some more for you.

Lizzie Kate's Tiny Tidings XV - "Feeling Festive"

When you last saw this little cute reindeer he looked like this:

Now he looks like this:

Lizzie Kate's Tiny Tidings XV - "Joyeux Noel"

Back in January, the second of the designs from this chart pack looked like this:

Now, it looks like this:

Slowly but surely these two are inching along....

The Trilogy - Halloween Sneak Peek

Back in January I left you with a little bit of a black border:

and today there is not much more to see.... just a tiny bit more of the black border!

Happy Howloween - Brooke Nolan (Brooke's Books)

I just love these two cuties (a cat dressed as a dog and vice versa!).... in January I left them looking like this:

Not a lot of progress happened when I picked this up again the other day... but at least the dog/cat is getting a pair legs!!

Don't you just love how different the fabric looks under different light and photo conditions!  The photo above is probably a lot closer to the real colour of the fabric than the one I took in January!

I have also been stitching on some new starts over February, but they will have to wait for another post!

♥ Thank you for all your lovely comments on my posts over the last few weeks... it is so nice to read your encouraging words. ♥

Til next time, Happy Stitching!

Day 9 & 10 / Crazy start #9 & #10

I am typing this post while leaning on Oscar.... he seems to think that he makes for a very good wrist support for the laptop!  Not!!

So the last time I posted I showed you "Printemps" from Collection Tralala.  Today I have the second chart of the Spring/Summer designs to show you...

This is where I got with "été" on Friday night.

"Moutons de saisons - été" - Tralala Collection

This is also being stitched on "Fairy Forest".  This part of the fabric has a bit more of the pink flush than the piece that I am using for "printemps".

Yesterday I worked on my Winter Witch during the afternoon as I need to finish her before the end of the month... then last night I started my 10th design for January.

Another Lizzie Kate Design... this one is "Joyeux Noel" from Tiny Tidings XV.

"Joyeux Noel" - Lizzie Kate's Tiny Tidings XV

This chart pack has 5 Christmas designs and I am planning at this stage to stitch at least 4 of these this year... I mentioned in a previous post that I won this chart pack in a giveaway sometime ago and that I will also be stitching this as part of the Gifted Gorgeousness SAL.  When Kay sent me this lovely chart she also included the threads and some very pretty 32ct Belfast fabric which has a gold lurex thread throughout.  Unfortunately the photo doesn't show the gold sparkle....

Winter Witch and today's new start is now awaiting me.. and Oscar has completely spread out across the laptop now and it is getting increasingly harder to type, so I will now sign off and go stitching!
