This week in my quiet moments i completed Part 2 so still Part 3 left to do. Its such a lovely project and i do enjoy the little animals that are stitched 1 over 1 on the 28ct fabric, it adds such detail. Jan 1st was the start date for the Just Nan SAL at Stitch & Stash and i couldn't resist making a start on that too. You can choose any JN design, i have a few in my stash and finally decided on Ice Garden. There are quite a few ladies who have joined in this and its going to last all year long, how exciting its going to be to see lots of JN designs develop and stitchers who are new to JN try them for the first time.
You can never plan ahead too far and the monthly Christmas ornament SAL is continuing this year again at Stitch & Stash. With that in mind i knew the JBW 'Christmas Tree I' had to be my first this year, the chart was a gift from Karen and stitched up so fast. I hope you had a nice weekend.
Lovely stitching on both projects, but that little squirrel on Lady Scarlet's Journey is so cute!

Lovely stitching Julie, I was very temoted by the JN SAL but am doing the RR and other WIPs so I thought perhaps not, altho???? If iit is an all year one I might just fit it in!!
ReplyDeleteSo are we to be partnered in the Grand Marquoir? Lots of time to decide I am looking out fabric and floss..
Happy Stitching Julie. I don't think I said on your other mail but I loved your Positive Thinking, some thing I do and it certainly blows away the blues.

Wow the colours for Ice Garden are just gorgeous! Totally up my alley Julie, did you change them for the original colours? Your ornament is beautiful too! Not only did you stitch it, but you finished it too! Great job!
