Tammy was nice enough to let me pick a different chart to start.

January 31 Stitchy Start

I'm still behind on my goal.  I should be done with page 4 but I'm only about halfway through page 3.  I didn't realize how much confetti was in page 3 ad it's taking longer than I anticipated.  Since a good portion of the piece will have text on it I should move faster hopefully because they are solid so here's hoping.  I'm estimating I'm about 10,500 stitches in so far.  Only 151,100 left to go lol depressing ;)

Sorry for the quality the lighting in here is pretty poor.  I promise my next post will be better.  Great progress by everyone so far I'll go back and comment on your posts in the next few days.  I'm trying to get ready for a Super Bowl party tomorrow.

5 more stitchers need to post by midnight

January Update - Hummers

Hello all!

I've been LOVING seeing all of your progress this month! Figured it was about time I posted my own update. I was trying for a page finish this month, but you know what they say about the best laid plans... I'm still hoping to accomplish that goal by the end of the weekend.

So, this is where Hummers has progressed to this month.

A whole 6,799 stitches. 99% of which were confetti-packed! Still looks soooooo tiny when you look at the whole thing. Which is why I normally don't. Haha!

Last Day - Little old me again-Admin

All I can say is WOW!!!

All of you are stitching maniacs lol! I finished my moms belated birthday gift today and so now on to my dads for aprils, then I am going full force on the tiger after that.

I have to say too that we have a great group of stitchers, everyone is making comments and helping out!! Thats why I love to blog!! My phone been beeping my constantly about all the comments made. Keep it up girls thats what will keep us going until our projects are done.

THIS IS A REMINDER THIS IS THE LAST DAY TO POST YOUR PROGRESS. all posts after midnight today don't count.

By the way because it was asked, you have one last chance to change your project for the SAL but you must change, stitch and post before midnight tonight to still count!!! After today you will not be able to change your projects k.

Happy that you girls are apart of the SAL I am so lucky!!

Better late than never..........

Well, I know it's later than I should be with this but here is the progress that has been done for now. I know that it might not seem like too much but I am trying to get some done as often as I can.  

Happy stitching!

Scarlet Macaw Preening January Update

Hello all!

Here's Sherlock after a massive 2.5 hours of stitching during January.

As you can see, not much progress has been made on this project and I apologise for not stitching more. There are two reasons for this:

1) My attention has been focused on the 31 DUCJC pieces and
2) I absolutely hate the linen fabric and just can't get on with it, so much so that it gives me no pleasure to stitch on and has brought me to tears :(

Those that follow me will know that this is my second attempt at this project, having been unsatisfied with the first lot of fabric. Well, it looks as though it might well have to be third time lucky as I go in search of another fabric which MUST be aida!

I'm sorry my post isn't a very happy one. At least others doing this SAL have had more success and I have enjoyed watching them grow!

Love and hugs

January's Serenity Harbor

I had a late start this month because I was waiting for floss, but I managed to finish the first part of the Serenity Harbor pattern late last night. The designer will release the next part in a few days, so I have time to stop and breathe before I move on. The first few sections are a little sparse, but later in the year it will be much more dense. The pattern has pink roses, but my LNS showed me some dark red silks, and there was no going back.

I'm stitching 1 over 2 with silk on 36 count Mello linen from Picture This Plus. I knew conceptually how big this piece was, but I didn't really get it until I opened the fabric all the way and started stitching.

I don't use a frame or hoop, so it's a little wrinkled...

January finished! This month I didn't have much time to stitch. Temperature in January in my city was about 38º C. The only thing to do was swim! LOL

Cinderella's Castle

I have a little progress to share. I'm still working on the darker blue of the sky in the upper corner but should be adding the lighter blue in a few rows. I've been focused on my starts for the Super Duper Ultimate Crazy Challenge so haven't given this much priority.

This is where I was on January 1:

 And here I am on January 30:

Thanks for looking.

Happy Stitching!

His Eye is on the Sparrow-Dede's project

I haven't spent a great deal of time stitching.  Hopefully in February I will do better.  I have stitched part of the edging and a few of the animals.  It is a fun stitch.  Blogging is another story!  I couldn't remember how I posted BUT finally found the button!  Duh!  Now to figure out labeling...hmmm.

Leonore's January Update

So after a late start on the 13th I gained some ground by focusing on my project and not stitching much else. My main goal for Dark Force was to stitch one block (of 10x10 stitches) a day, which I reached (including catching up the first 12 days of the year) on the 25th. But I wasn't content, because I have another goal which would be so very nice to achieve and that is one column a week. Doesn't sound like much of a difference, considering that wach column is only 8 blocks, but since we are currently in week 5 it does mean I have to catch up one more row. I *might* manage to do just that over the weekend, which is really exciting! So far, I'm at four columns -> 4*8 = 32 blocks -> 3200 stitches, and I really love what I see so far.

Rahenna's update - January

Well, not too much to show unfortunately, I got a bit worn out on all the confetti stitching in the border and put this aside for an older WIP after about a week. :)

Maybe next month will be better. :)
