Birth Sampler #7 Stitching completed Happy Dance

I hope my neighbours heard/felt my happy dance with the completion of this project.  Its been a long time in the making.  My friends Bubba is now 5.5kg, smiling and both Mum & Bub recovering well after a rough greeting into the world.   Now I need to  get the machine out and finish this wall hanging!  I am giving myself an achievable deadline – 3 weeks and the next post in this SAL.

Now onto my original stitchery, Save the Stitches.  When I can locate where I filed it amongst the WIPS etc it will turn up.  In the meant time I have chosen another project.

Please hop over to my fellow bloggers you you will be delighted with their colourful talented efforts.

Birth Sampler #6

Well there is a plus side to adding the wrong date in my scheduled post.  Had it as 29th not 19th.  Then as we have an updated list my dating error identified.

I have made a lot of progress and my sampler is almost complete.  Fingers crossed for a happy dance in 3 weeks.

Feeling pleased – and I know if you hop over to my fellow bloggers you you will be delighted with their colourful talented efforts.

SAL#3 Birth Record (growing) & SAL#15 Save the Stitches (no progress)

As the end of the financial year looms I have been toiling away on one item only.  Mainly as the baby is due soon – therefore my number one priority in the crafting arena.

I am enjoying this little cross stitch especially as the back stitch makes it come to life.

Hi Everyone.

Unfortunately no progress on my SAL as I had a little segue for a birthday Biscornu.  I decided to put a line backing on this one for a change and it was awkward to stitch.

Do pop over to the other wonderful members in our group, they always have such wonderful progress.  See you all in 3 weeks.

Calling all craft minded Toastmasters.

I am curious?  Are there any of my fellow craft bloggers or your family/friends who are members of Toastmasters?

Toastmasters, for those not familiar is a public speaking club and not about cooking your bread to perfection and slathering it with butter.  (Insert yummy buttery toasty smile topped with Jam – here).

We also have on-line clubs for those who have difficulty getting out and wish to make that vital connection around the globe.  I am a member of 2 online clubs and one land based or as we refer to it Bricks and Mortar club.   If you are interested in checking out an online Toastmasters club and seeking what I consider the most inexpensive form of education.    We meet weekly in the “cloud”  traversing the globe from varied locations.

The theme for our next meeting  – Who I remember most… I dare you to be original. Think outside your family circle and share with us.
On the day, meet us in the cloud at this address: https://zoom.us/j/9698824752
Check for the correct time where you are: https://easy-speak.org/portal.php?page=36961

I hope to see you online, for a fun filled meeting.

Regards

SAL

Sadly no progress at all for either of my SAL’s – many reasons.  The main on pre-occupied with a kitchen renovation, which will take a few more weeks.  However the bulk of heavy work completed by my brother with the MOTH’s assistance.  However you will be delighted with the progress by the other highly industrious members of the SAL.  The boys have nearly gutted the kitchen, ripped up the old lino, and the floor boards should polish up nicely.   Bench top sin and plaster dust everywhere.   Still need to have electrician, plasterer and painting completed.  Plus a new window.  Perhaps 4 more weeks of chaos but main section is moving along well.   Flat packs taken over the lounge, passage etc are almost all in their new homes.

Fingers crossed the next 3 weeks are more productive.

QAYG 56/100

My QAYG has resurfaced.  Enjoying this between SALs.  Previously had 36 fully completed with sashiko flowers.  Plus 20 ready for sashiko flower.

Now, over half way completed 56 fully completed.  On a mission to finish my QAYG.  As have 4 of each colour.  Plan to use 75 for a runner & 25 as a bag.  Photo has several folded in half to mimic layout.

 

Ciao for now & Happy Stitching ❤ Debbierose

SAL #14 Save the Stitches & SAL#2 Birth Record

Greeting everyone!  I do hope you are well and keeping busy.  Incredible how much you can achieve when a baby is due – not mine just to reiterate.  A dear friend in one of my stitching groups is having her first baby.  As a result the bulk of my stitching is on a birth record, and a little on my original SAL after frogging!

Woo hoo lots of birth record progress to show.

The other members of this SAL are far more productive than I and I do hope you can hop over and view their impressive works.  I feel very privileged to be part of this SAL Group.
