I can't believe a week has gone by and I haven't reached for the computer to post. Time seems to be escaping me and it is only going to get busier since the boys will start school in 2weeks. Their schedules will be super complex between work, sports, school, and religious school. To make things easier I am involved in 4 SALs. Yikes!! The first is one with my good friend Carol. It is called Grandma's Mending Box by Olde Colonial. Here is a pic of what it will look like and the following pic is my progress after a couple of stitching days together. The stitched part makes a box top on a lovely wooden box that is included with the kit.
The next SAL is a mystery sampler by Carol at iStitch. It will come in 8 parts and I finished Part 1 yesterday.
I am stitching it on 40ct Chantilly Cream by Lakeside Linens and Crescent Colours Belle Soie in Rose of Sharon. I love the way it is coming out. Now I need to sit and wait for installment 2. I plan to finish it as a box top providing I can find one in the right size. What a great excuse to go on the "hunt". I love shopping at the craft supply stores this time of year because they have all of the fall things out and I love the colors.
Lastly is my new addition to my flower frog collection. I picked these up at a flea market a month ago but just got around to taking a picture. I love the green one and the gray one is very unusual. The white one is self containing, meaning the holes don't go all the way through. I will have to put some felt in there to protect my scissor tips. Aren't they a great find?
I have lots more to share but I don't want this post to be any longer. Have a great day and thanks to all of my readers and followers for sharing a moment with me. Happy Stitching!
