AND JUST LIKE THAT

 it's SAL time again. I have been stitching the past 3 weeks but I have been moving around on the piece. One of the reasons I like these big projects is that if I get bored with where I'm stitching I can move around. This time I remembered to take pictures as I moved the q snap.

This is where you saw it last time.

Then it progressed to here.

And this is where it is now.

Hopefully I can fill in this space in the next 3 weeks. Fingers crossed as my stitch bug is still off and on.

I am doing this SAL with a very talented group of ladies. Please go to their blogs to see the stitchy goodness they are sharing.

Avis, Claire, Gun, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Megan, Deborah, Renee, Carmela, Sharon, Daisy, Anne, AJ, Cathie, Linda, Helen

Till next time happy stitching everyone.

AND WE HAVE A NEW START

 I know I know the last thing I need is a new start but this one is different. Yes it is full coverage (HAED) and will take forever but I just had to start it. It was just meant to be. This is the story behind this start.

HAED was having a 50% off sale so of course I had to see if Randal Spangler had anything new. As I was scrolling down the artist page the cover photo for this artist caught my eye. I really thought I had not seen any of his work before. His name is Jeff Haynie and he does wonder cat art. The chart that caught my eye was this one.

That face. Of course it is a face I see everyday as it looks just like my grand-kitty Gomez.

I immediately bought the pattern and found that I had the fabric and the floss to start it.

I started it on 11/7/2021. This was the first days progress.

I continued with it on 11/8/2021 and this is my progress then

I like the fact that this background is not all confetti stitching like some of the full coverage pieces I have going. Lots more of this color to go. 

I plan on alternating this with The Universe in a Jar so will work on it every other day. 

Both pieces are for my youngest daughter who is also Gomez's mom.

SAL UPDATE--HE'S BAAAAACK

 I'm so happy to be able to report that Bennie the stitch bug has returned. He must have gotten lots of rest because he is very busy and bossy. LOL.

Last time you saw The Universe in a Jar it was here.

 

Now it has progressed to here.

 

Hopefully I'll be able to keep my focus but that isn't guaranteed.

One thing that is motivating me on this piece is the fact that on 11/27 it will be exactly 10 years old.

I am doing this SAL with a whole group of very talented and diverse stitchers. We each work on our own pieces. Please stop by their blogs to see the wonder projects they have going

Until the next update in 3 weeks HAPPY STITCHING.
