Happy Sunday crafty people, it’s a dreich (Scottish word to describe a grey dreary wet day!) day here in Midlothian. Perfect weather for stitching! I can’t believe it’s been three weeks since my last SAL post and I’m still not finished my cat project!
In case you haven’t seen one of my SAL posts before I should explain. SAL stands for Stitch Along and this one is organised by the lovely Avis. The idea is to finish off a UFO (or Unfinished Object!) and let me tell you I have lots of those! If you fancy joining in then contact Avis and she will give you all the information you need. It’s a really friendly group and it’s really helping me to be motivated to keep stitching (although not as fast as I would like!)
Three weeks ago this is where I was…..
And today I am here…..
I’m really close to finishing but I just couldn’t quite finish it off before today. I’m enjoying it but I must admit I’m looking forward to being done with those pink flowers and picking out my next UFO to work on!
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.

“dreich” are my favorite day as it’s always a good excuse to stay in and cross stitch !!! (Any opportunity to turn down a walk in the park, I’m such a hermit) – This is looking great, nearly finished 😀
