Mystery SAL Part 4

iStitch Mystery SAL Part 4.  Too Cute!  I am loving how this little sampler is unfolding.  I am enjoying stitchin on 40ct and I think I am becoming addicted to higher count fabrics.  Stitches on 28ct look soo BIG.  I like the coverage a single strand of thread gives to 40ct.  That is all the stitching I did this weekend. 
Here is what kept me busy this weekend.

FOOTBALL!  My youngest little man is playing his first season and loving it.  They have practice 2-3 evenings per week and a game Saturday and Sunday.  As part of the youth organization they require parent volunteers and hubby and I worked the concession stand.  We actually had a great time with lots of laughs.  It's amazing to me that people were eating hamburgers/hotdogs at 9am but whatever!  We grilled up 30 burgers and sold them all.  We did get relieved from our duties in time to watch the last quarter where our number 27 sacked the quartback a couple of times.  I am not the cheerleader type but boy did my heart swell when my little buddy's name was called our the loud speaker giving him credit for the sack. I was grinning ear to ear. 
Yesterday, I stuffed goodie bags and prepared class kits for our upcoming retreat.  Oh my are these ladies going to be spoiled.  I hope everyone is prepared to stash enhance! Well time to start my day. Happy Stitching!

Welcome to the ease of stitching with one strand on 40 count. Fun, isn't it? It's become almost torture for me to have to use two strands now.

It's coming along nicely. I think I'd go nuts wondering what the next step was. Good job.

Awww...football for the little men. Love that.

I have never tried doing a whole piece over one thread. Might have to try it.
Glad you are having fun with your consession duties. So happy you got to hear his name being called.
I am so looking forward to our goodies bags and being spoiled.
Can't wait to hear about the kitties.

I wish I could say I miss the ball park days but I really don't. They were so hot down here and I don't really like the bug bites and melting in the heat. Love the sampler progress.Cannot wait to see it in person along with the goodie bags! They were so much fun last year.

Great stitching! I love working on 40 count and one strand is so much easier to deal with.

Working the concession stand sounds fun. I can't imagine eating a hot dog at 9am though. Ick! lol

Your mystery SAL is looking so pretty in red.
I so miss my son playing football, even though it's been years I still enjoy Friday night football at the high school

I'm really enjoying this mystery sampler. It's so pretty!
I have just purchased some ornament size pieces of 40ct so that I can give it a try. I usually stitch on 32ct and even with that I find that I don't like using 28ct much now.

I love the thread colour you're using on your SAL, it's very pretty. Congrats to your son for playing so well, it sounds like he's enjoying himself thoroughly. Best wishes and happy stitching.
