Happy New Year- Welcome 2017

Good morning all. Happy 2017. I only have one resolution this year. I am going to do my best to finish The Universe in a Jar in 2017. I will need all the support I can get. I know I will get it here.

This is my starting point for 2017. Hopefully I can keep my resolution.

Also it wouldn't be January in Montana without this. We are supposed to get 5 or 6 inches. Great stitching weather.

Strange looking birds here also. LOL.

Last but not least my December TUSAL and my 2016 TUSAL. I know I'm a nerd but I'm okay with it.

I hope everyone has a wonder 2017 and that you meet all of your stitching goals.

PAGE FINISH

I have a page finish on The Universe in a Jar. Now there is only 1 more full page and 1 partial page and this row will be done. Please excuse the wavy picture. I couldn't take it in my usual place because the dog was sleeping there. I am really loving working on this one.

3 Week SAL Update

Wow. That time again already. Time just seems to be flying by. I have made some progress on The Universe in a Jar. Of course like everyone else not enough as far as I'm concerned but any progress is good. Hoping for much more by next update.
Here is where I was 3 weeks ago and where I am as of today.

Please stop by these blogs to check out the great stitching being done by my SAL mates.

 Merry Christmas to all.

Time for a SAL update

Good morning. I have been bad. I am so tired of stitching brown that I switched projects. Last time I was here I was working on Chocolate Chocolate and More Chocolate. As much as I love it I needed more color in my life so I switched to The Universe in a Jar. It is so nice to have all the beautiful colors to play with.
When I put CC&MC away it looked like this.

When I got TUIAJ out it looked like this. I have made a bit of progress but I'm too lazy to take it off the frame for a picture. Hope to have bunches done by next update.

I am really enjoying looking at everyone's progress. There are some great projects being stitched.

Check out the rest of the members and their wonderful projects here. We also have a new member. Welcome Helen.

See you in 3 weeks.

AND

I am all browned out. Haven't really been stitching much the past couple of weeks. Just a few stitches here and there. Then it hit me. I NEED SOME COLOR IN MY LIFE. So I have switched from CC&MC to The Universe in a Jar. It has been squealing lately and I figured out why. Haven't stitched on TUIAJ since 5/2014. Poor thing.
I will get back to CC&MC eventually but for now you will be seeing updates on TUIAJ.

Time for a SAL update

I have recently joined a SAL with some really supportive and wonderful ladies. We post our progress every 3 weeks. Hoping that their support will motivate me to make significant progress on Chocolate Chocolate & More Chocolate which I would like to finish before June 2017. HAHA.
Here is where I was when I joined the SAL.

 

And here is where I am today. Not as much progress as I would like but I'll take it.

If you would like to join us contact Avis for details.

Also please check out my SAL mates to see their wonderful projects.

Yipee

I have found a stitching group here in Great Falls. Going for the first time today at 3pm. They meet every Thursday at Pam's Knit and Stitch which is just down the street from my house. I decided to take a more portable project than my HAED so Bhyr Deeze from Long Dog Samplers was elected to accompany me.
