New SAL from Palko-Lap!

I have been waiting for the announcement of her new SAL for 2016 and here it is!

It is called Words and I love the chart.

She designed it in three different colors and I need to decide which I want to do it or if I want to do some other color.

Also the Months SAL that I did last year is now going to be a freebie available on her page.  You can go here monthly and collect the charts to stitch them up. I did each one individually but she has a different layout complete with a Bible verse if you want to do it that way.

Hope to see some of you stitching one or both of these!

Thanks for stopping by,

See ya next time!

My Sunday Stitchy Update

There simply are NOT enough hours anywhere for anything!  LOL

I promise myself "This week I will read every blog on my blog list" or "I will read blogs for an hour every night" but...well you probably know the rest of the story - THESE THINGS NEVER HAPPEN! I have such good intentions but instead I am falling farther and farther behind.  So this week I have been diligently signing up for "Follow By Email" on blogs if it is available and what a difference it is making!!  I can keep up with everyone's updates simply by reading my emails - yay!! I love it.  Hopefully I will do better now on keeping up with the stitchy updates for all of you! If you don't have this feature please consider it as it is the best thing ever.

Last week I worked on my Monthly SAL on the Palko Blog.

Months SAL - December

Designer - Palko

Finished 12/06/15

I am going to miss doing these little monthly designs; they were a fun and quick stitches.  She is having a new SAL for 2016 but I am not sure if I am going to participate or not because I have a LONG LIST of charts that I want to get to.

I suppose it will depend on the size of the monthly charts and if I have fabric handy, usually her chart sections just require a day or two of stitching.

This week I stitched a day on Dorothy and her friends

Wizard of Oz

Cross Stitch Gold Mag / July 2012

Designer - Lesley Teare

Progress as of 12/09/15

then I started this cute ornament over the weekend

Heart Snowman

Kit - Needlemagic

Finished 12/13/15

I need to really get going on the Wizard of Oz this week so that will be my goal!  Hope I have some progress to show you next Sunday!!

My Sunday Stitchy Update

Welcome everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful week as we start a new month.  I can hardly believe it is November already as time is just flying by! I think one of the reasons I have a hard time remembering that it is November already is our weather! It is still in the mid 70s here in Arizona and we are not minding it one little bit! Don't get me wrong, in the morning when everyone is leaving for the day you may need a light jacket or sweater but that doesn't last for long like it would be if we were still in Chicago!

So I got in a bit of stitching this week...

New start and finish of

Finished 11/06/15

My Sunday Stitchy Update

Hi Everyone!

The weather outside is VERY FRIGHTFUL! It is so cold out there that I have NO desire to go out and my grandson missed another day of school because of extreme weather!

This was our temperature Thursday morning 

and then it warmed up a couple of degrees

on Friday so they had to go back to school! 

I will be over joyed when SPRING finally makes it's appearance!

Only 28 more days to go...

This week I got in quite a few stitches!

I had a new start which

also turned into a finish!

My Sunday Stitchy Update

Evening Everyone!

Hope that everyone affected by the snowstorms and cold snaps is safe and warm!  The weather has been absolutely dreadful; seems EVERY day is sooo cold with near or below zero temperatures. I think we are paying for the mild December weather we had. I will be so glad when SPRING shows up and warms up this place.

This week  I started stitching on a RAK I received from Meari.
