It seems like just
yesterday I had enough time to make all these poses separately. I think all the snow lately has been too
distracting. Or at least hard to drive
through.
SMALLS SAL
I’m working on
what I call my seaside calendar. March
is finished.
Hopefully before
next month is over, it will end up looking like these.
I haven’t found
the right trim to use as hangers for the monthly pieces yet. Meanwhile I think the mini easel works well.
Stitch from Stash
February spent
$16.00, earned $4.00.
This month I spent
$16.00 buying some Anchor floss on EBay.
I credit this purchase to not being outbid as much as wanting it.
There’s a little
more progress on London to show.
Once I realized I
wasn’t going to get to the lettering this month, I tried to finish more of the
sky across the top. Here’s what it’s
meant to look like when finished.
This is part of a
series by Maria Diaz that was published by Cross Stitch Gold.
Cross Stitch
Collection
For this SAL, I’m
supposed to be working on my Ballroom picture.
You may not be able to tell, but there was some small progress this
month.
There’s some light
gray running down the side. Still
looking for the bottom.
Random Things
There were a
couple of other things I finished this month.
One was this piece.
It’s part of the
Redwork Santas series by Prairie Schoolar, Book # 102
Last, but not
least.
This little bird
perches on top a purple mason jar. It is
part of a design by Linda Gillum from the book, 99 Cross Stitch Luvable
Pets. Lots to learn about finishing yet,
but I like it. So does my daughter,
which is handy because I gave it to her for Valentine’s Day. J
One last spending
note. I decided what to get with my
Christmas gift certificate! Thanks to
the sale at 1-2-3, I’m getting the new Ink Circles Reflections of London, a Whispered
in the Wind quilt pattern, a Lizzie Kate Easter pattern and some Threadworx
floss that might mean a new start!
Happy stitching
