Hi crafty people, I can’t believe that it’s been three weeks since my last SAL (stitch along) post but it must be as it’s time for another! The SAL is organised by Ava and includes a lovely group of stitchers. All of their links are at the end of this blog post so you can pop over and give them some love. I also want to say a big welcome to Sharon who has joined us and will be posting her first SAL post, it’s great to have you in the group and I can’t wait to see what you are working on.
The idea of the SAL is to work on our unfinished objects (or UFOs) and post an update every 3 weeks. If you fancy joining us please contact Avis (you’ll find her blog link at the bottom of this post). It’s a lovely friendly group and it’s a great reminder to pick up your stitching projects.
Last time I had just picked up this cross stitch which I had started many years ago! This is where I was 3 weeks ago……
Three weeks later I’m here….
I’ve not done that much but it’s better than nothing and I’m enjoying it. Hopefully I will get it finished before the next SAL in 3 weeks!
I’m looking forward to catching up with all the other blogs in this SAL group, please give them a visit too, I’ve linked them here so you can easily find them.

Thanks so much, sometimes it’s hard to tell when you stare at something too long, easier from a step or two back! x

lots of back stitch detail I see, which is really bringing the design to life!

thanks Claire, it’s not the most exciting to do but it does make such a difference. I think especially with the cat, might try to finish off that backstitching next x

Thanks Mary Margaret, I think the backstitching takes lots of time and it makes such a difference but it doesn’t always look like lots of progress if that makes sense! x
