happy dancing

and we have a finish!
the year long SAL with Palko  The quote in English is: "So teach us to remember our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom" Psalm 90:12

wips...

I've been working on catching up with my monthly SAL with Palko, and have finally caught up, just in time to get the last month's installment.  I'm working on December right now, so once that is done I will have a happy dance and I'll show a picture of the whole thing...

Till then you will have do with close ups of September, October, and November

 

 

catch up - stitching projects 2

In between working on the commissioned pieces I did work on some of my own stitching... I pulled a few wips out, ignored others, and started a new one...here is my progress on them...

 My newest start... Halloween nine by Sanman originals for the merry members. It is such a cute little stitch...

 

My Lanarte Summer Bouquet got some love...

 
 As did my Home Sweet Home sampler by Grilles de Maryse, two squares left on the main piece and that part is done.

 

 

 

I also managed to catch up and fall behind yet again on my monthly SAL through Palkolap's blog... here are June, July and August and all of them together...

 

 

 

I am very behind on my Sunday SAL with Barbi and Linda, I haven't touched it since June... I'm sure that Linda is almost done hers by now, from what I have seen on her blog, she is getting close!  Not sure where Barbi is as she is missing in action as well... Poor Linda we abandoned her on this SAL!

catch up mash up

I've got so much to catch up on!  Here I said I would try and be a better blogger, but I just keep getting worse!  but I won't fill the page with excuses, I'll just jump straight into catching up...

Tusal...

I owe two... one for May and one for June.  I have the pictures, but as you noticed I didn't post... so here they are:

May:

 

 

and June:

 



As you can see lots of red and white in there!  I was working on a custom commissioned piece of a company logo for a friend and boy there was a lot of frogging before I got it right! 

Here it is finished...  Just needs a bath, an iron and then we have to frame it and it is off to its new owner.
 

I have 2 more custom/commissioned pieces to do and then that is it for a while... deadlines and I don't mix... though they have all been very generous in regards to the time frame.

I also finished off my nephew's blanket...  so I have at least one Christmas gift all done and ready to go!

Since I have some of that yarn left, I started another baby/stroller blanket... not sure for who yet, just sort of making it....

I've also been stitching other things here and there... since today is Monday, it is also time to show of Cornwall Cottage!  I haven't been stitching on it regularly every Sunday, but I have pulled it out here and there and made some progress... not the best picture, I took it quick with my phone.

I also have a progress picture on my Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious by Sue Hillis...  Such a fun stitch... I haven't stitched the flowers yet as I am not sure what colour I want them... if I follow the pattern or pick something different...

And last but not least, here is my May portion of the 2015 calendar SAL by Palko.  I have June's square all ready to go, I just need to pick a colour.

 And that is it... till next time... happy stitching!

ort report and this week's wips...

Well on Tuesday I managed to finish off the block I was working on the Home Sweet Home 2013 SAL by Grilles du Maryse.... here are all 6 blocks I've done so far... 3 more to go.

Once I had that done, I pulled out another SAL that I joined earlier this year... a monthly calendar and verse by Palko of Palko-lap

I've managed to catch up this week with all the months I was behind with as well as the text.

Here is my progress so far...

It is stitched on 32ct Queen Anne's Lace Jobelan using a variety of different hand dyed threads...  So far I 've used Nina's threads, Weeks, and Crescent Colours... The text itself is DMC.

I also started another little crochet blanket... I've got a few more rows done than what the picture shows, but not that many....

And last but not least, yesterday was the new moon, so time to show off our orts... Here is this month's jar...

Now it is time to relax and do some stitching!  It is Sunday so that means the sunday SAL on Cornwall cottage!

Till next time happy stitching!
