SALing along!

Hi everyone! It's finally warmed up over here, 60 today. After reading your comments last post about how you haven't had cold weather, I've decided Mother Nature is bi-polar!

I have 3 days of stitching for my bday SAL, so here they are..
My January 1st start-Girls in Blue Dresses by Merry Wind Farm. I'm using 32ct linen
with the called for floss with one exception. For the blue dresses I'm going 
by the picture so the DMC for the dresses are different than what is called for.
I'm be-bopping along, stitching leaves on that right border when I see the
next set of leaves are a different floss. Not earth-shattering by any means but
it threw me into confusion. Do I want to make all the leaves on the border the
same color or not and follow the pattern? I'll decide when I get back to it.

My 2nd day start is from a JCS magazine..

Luckily I live where there are Octobers.

What I've stitched so far. I'll make this a pillow but with the same look on the
magazine. It's cute.

The 3rd day, Friday, is a freebie from Heartstrings Samplery..
Beth Twist says she didn't stitch this up so who knows how it'll look all 
stitched up but judging by how it looks so far, it's going to be pretty. I'm 
using 35ct Alabaster by R & R. It'll be dainty.

I don't have anything chosen for today's stitching but I will later.

I also found another Christmas Carol-type chart from Margaret & Margaret..
Dickens Village Ornaments.

Alrighty, a short post. I'm using up my data on my phone to power the wifi
hot spot to get on the internet so I'm not sure how much more I can do this.
As it is, it took a long time to upload these pictures. I'll try to be back
in 3 or 4 days with more bday stitching.

If anyone is interested, Teri/Dixiesamplar's Exchange Group is hosting a
Spring/Easter exchange. Sign ups are still going on. I have signed up
and whatever I stitch for my partner will be my SAL project.

Take care, folks! I've had a few more followers join so Welcome to
this here blog. Hope you'll stick around!
