Gifted Gorgeous SAL Update for August

Jo's year long SAL Gifted Gorgeousness

I have been stitching quite a bit on The Alchemist this past month (3400+ stitches),the floss was a gift from my Mr. last Christmas

Santa has gained his belt and part of his plaid mittens.

A few letters; from here on out everything is #310!

A new little start on a Prairie Schooler design (free on their site).

This will be finished as an ornament and used in place of a bow on a Christmas gift.

 I did start and finish (still needs to be made into an ornament), Midnight Santa, 

stitched with floss that was gifted to me.

That's it for me for this month's update.

Giveaway from VMSS

Let's get past the part that makes me cringe, shall we ~

Hi. 

I abhor having my picture taken, I'm way too critical.

Okay, now that that humiliation is over with let's crack on.

Why do I like to blog? 

To meet folks like you!

 Really!!

 I live in a small village on the Canadian prairies and the blogging world is my way to connect with wonderfully talented stitchers of the world. I have recently rediscovered my love of cross stitch and am thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to meet other cross stitchers and share the passion of this art.

These are just a few of my pieces from the past few months.

I have joined  3 SALs (Stitch A Longs) for 2015 to encourage and cheer on by fellow cross stitchers.  You can check these out by clicking the buttons on my sidebar.

While you're at the sidebar, please consider following

That's my 1 quart sealer again, so not a bad start!

And now for something completely unrelated and silly ")

Fox decided to sit on Carli and swipe her with her tail,

repeatedly ")
