A slow start to August

It's surprising how different one month can be to the next. Last month I was stitching away like crazy on my first HAED and making steady progress, had began my nieces Frozen piece for her birthday AND...yes there is more...stitched a Christmas Ornament to test out how long each would take me once the SAL began and also to see how I felt about working on plastic canvas.

This month...I am behind on the Frozen piece, will probably not get a chance to do anymore to the HAED and will need to make a concerted effort to finish the ornament. All I can say is how grateful I am for IHSW!

From now until Christmas I will be stitching a set of six (five left to do) Joan Elliott designs...

which were taken from this book of hers...

I checked out all the suggested themes and there is one for each except maybe Mrs Christmas and so she was the test stitch...I think she came out pretty well and I only made a few tweaks.

My plan is to stitch the ornament during IHSW every month in order to ensure it gets done, as that is something I rarely miss when my mojo is about, well I better leave you all to your stitchy duties and get on with mine!  :)

I can't wait to see your finishes.
