Paine Free SAL Update 1

Not too much to say about this one... I am enjoying it but haven't got too far yet.

Here's the link to the chart: http://www.painefreecrafts.com/cross-stitch-charts/55-tea-ceremony-snipz-esmira.html

Not a good start... Turtle Trot SAL January Update

Oh deary me.

I'm not sure what happened.  One minute Christmas was miles away and I signed up for a couple of SALs thinking it would be fine and straightforward.  The next, Xmas and New Year have been and gone, I'm back in the middle of things at Significant Seams and my husband went on a work trip so I went to stay with my parents.  While I'm on the train I realise I've not done the update so I snap a couple of pictures actually on the 10th so I can record my accurate progress to post as soon as I can.  And then I come back from visiting my family feeling rubbish and put off posting until I can face turning on the big computer.

So here we are today.  Although the post is late, the photos are actually from the right time - i.e. the 10th Jan.

I've only worked on a couple of my pieces between December and January.  There was way too much sightseeing with the husband so I barely picked up my stitching as my eyes were so tired by the end of every day!

Happy New Year!

I'm a bit late with this, I know... but the good thing is that I've had a nice break and spent some much needed quality time with the Hubby.  We have been out and about doing lots of fun things, which I'll tell you all about when I've grabbed the photos from my camera in the next few days or so.

But for now, I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and to say thank you again for following my little blog - I really do appreciate all of you who take the time to come and read and leave comments.  I'm pretty backed up on the blog reading with over 800 posts to go and look at, but I am going to make a start right now :)

Hope 2014 brings you all that you wish for!
Jo
