SAT results

I know, I’m very late with posting, but here is the result from my SAT stitching:

Christmyth Wyvren, Unicorn and Fairy by Dragon Dreams (okay, I admit I cheated and finished the unicorn on Tuesday only ).

Happy New Year everyone!

SAT epilogue – finally!

Now that I am well enough to claim that I am not sick anymore (excluding the cough) it’s time to introduce my SAT failure…

I only stitched this in Sunday, because I used Saturday to trim and grid the fabric by hand, before I had to call it quits because my muscles and joints began to ache too much to be allowed.

Well, at least I got it started…

SAT finishes

I’m a bit late in posting, but better late than never I didn’t stitch St Hippolyte this weekend, as I had some other stitching to do. So I finished this Christmas ornament, it was a gift and the design is Periphaeria Designs Artichoke Lace, but I completely changed the colours. I just love the original colours, but I wanted to do this gift with more traditional Christmas colours.

I also finished stitching something for an exchange, but I can’t show you photos yet, as it is still travelling

I will reorganize my rotation for the new year, so I think I’m going to stitch something else than St Hippolyte during the SAT weekends next year!

Until next time, happy stitching

Flo Progress

My goal was to finish Outi’s birthday exchange and/or work on “Fairy Flora.” I finished the birthday exchange before the weekend, so I worked on Flo. Since I knew I would be traveling part of the weekend, I didn’t have any specific goals but I managed to work on her for about 4 hours and get some more flowers done. I hope to be able to start working on her wings soon.

Stitchathon finishes

I didn’t get a whole heap of stitching done over the weekend, but I finished stitching and then finished off the last few christmas ornaments for this year.

And that’s me done for this year’s festive stitching. I hope everyone else managed to get a few stitches in this weekend.

Different goals for this and next months stitchathons

Hi everyone,

this month will be moving, moving, moving…. so no stitching for me, since I have everything to pack and move!

And January; due to the fact that our internetconnection won’t be up until the beginning of Feb, I won’t be able to post anything. But I do think that our new home will be “up” by then, so I might as well stitch the weekend anyhow! Taking part in 4 exchanges *how did I manage to get myself into 4….* I’ll have a lot to do! Lucky for me, I’ve got 3 exchanges ending at the END of January

So my goal for the January stitchathon weekend is to have all the exhcanges finalized, I’ll be posting pictures once I’m back on the net.

Christmas SAT

I think any stitching done this week will be my goal! If i get a chance in between refereeing the kids and their squabbles!!

Good luck to everyone else and their goals!!

December SAT

I have done all my shopping and apart from some household chores (will be kept to a minimum ) I have nothing planned for this week-end but stitching.

In a true Christmas spirit I plan to stitch some of the Dragon Dreams Christmyth ornaments. I already stitched 7 of the 12 (ages ago…) and my goal for this SAT is to stitch 3 more of them (unfortunately I have only fabric left for three, so I can already say that I won’t stitch more than three!).

Happy SAT stitching everyone!

A new start for the stitch a thon

I decided on a new start for this stitch a thon. In about 30 mins(after dinner is done with) I am going to start stitching on the Nora Corbet design “Victorian Christmas Eve” that is in the Cross stitch and Needlework mag. I don’t have much on this weekend, just some tidying and the food shopping very early tomorrow morning to avoid the crowds. Mel

Because off ….

…the Holidays, and lots of shopping and organizing to be done, I won’t be particiapting in this SAT. I’ll try to do some stitching in between , and post a picture of what I did. I’m going to start something new, called Christmas Tea by Plum Street Samplers. The original is on blue fabric, but I tea-dyed my own fabric for it

Due to the

early arrival of “Bethany Joy” I will be skipping this months sal

See you next month

*hugs*

‘Tis the season to be goaling…

…because I am going to stay at my mom’s for few weeks from Friday and I will therefore have whole weekend reserved just for stitching!

I won’t stitch Loy Krathong this month (*sigh*), but I will start Flashes of Gold, which is my RR piece at Solarium Sublime’s Virtual RR#1 – and I will be SATting with it because my start is well overdue.
And this is how it will look like when it grows up:

 
(Click the pictures to see it bigger.)

Though, the fabric I use is, once again, hand-dyed so there will be a difference as it’s more muted, lighter and marbled shade of navy. (I would provide pictures if I hadn’t already packed my cameras and stash.)
My goal is to stitch half of the first section (cunningly numbered 1.).

I am planning to get back to Loy In January, but who knows… I have models to be stitched so there may be more delay.

By the way, if someone is interested to see how the Winter Dragon turned out click the link.

On the Road

I will be on the road part of the weekend, but I will try to participate anyway. (Unfortunately I will be driving, so no stitching in the car for me… I am not that good at multi-tasking! )

If I haven’t finished the Lady’s belated birthday gift by then I will work on it, otherwise I will probably work on “Fairy Flora.” When we last saw her (back in August) she looked like this:

Chrissy Eve Eve Goals

I’m in for this month’s SAT, but no guarantees on how much stitching I’ll get done! This time of year is madness… 

 I’ve ditched my rotation for this month and focusing on ornaments and festive smalls. I’ve got one WIP which I started last night. Fingers crossed I can get it finished and then finished by Christmas. Hopefully the SAT will help me with that.  

I hope a few other brave souls join in the SAT this month.

‘Tis the season to be stitching

Which means that Stitch-A-Thon weekend is approaching!
I know that to some of you it is the worst possible weekend ever, so feel free to take a SAT-free month.

I will be stitching, and Leena, I challenge you to SAT too…

• Participants: to my use only, again. Our blogroll.

Thanks.
