Yesterday, I forgot to post about another SAL I am participating in. Probably because I only started it on Friday. The hashtag for this one on Instagram is #storiesofthenorth1sal. The design is by Ginger Gerald Design.
This was my progress as of Friday:
I first saw it the on a flosstube episode from Off the Grid Needlearts. I loved it so much I had to order it. Caroline was offering it for a limited time as part of the Evertote - Seagull Point Summer Kit. Along with a PDF of the chart, I received the following cross-stitch project with a matching notions bag and
a set 4 gorgeous blue threads from Victorian Motto Shoppe:
The chart suggest 2 DMC blues but I am using the first 2 blue from the left. They are called Caroline Calm and 6AM Sky.
The first is part of another tradition I started last year. My DH does not embrace Christmas in the same way as I do. Although he isn't a Scrooge, he doesn't revel in it. So last year I purchased the 2 Sue Hillis charts Bah Humbug and More Bah Humbug leaflets and have decided to stitch one ornament a year for him.
This is the one I did last year. I love this one because it is reminiscent of the "Charlie Brown Christmas" trees we use to have before getting our artificial tree. We refused to pay a fortune for a real tree that was going to end up in the trash after a couple of weeks. I always felt that with lights and baubles any tree is beautiful.
These other ornaments are from charts by Homespun Elegance, Little House Needleworks and Country Cottage Needleworks.
I will sign off with a picof what I did today that was non-stitching related. I made pumpkin puree. Enough for 4 pumpkin pies. I 💖💖 pumpkin pie.
Take care and Happy Stitching!!!!
