Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Final Post

Welcome back for the final post of the third Mini Magical Mystery SAL! Don't worry it's not over - the Mini Magical Mystery SAL 4 starts in an hour! This post is just a final post showing my stitching of part fourteen and what I have done with my version.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 14

Welcome back for day fourteen of the third round of mystery stitching! This is also the final day of patterns for this SAL - I'll be back one more time to show what I have made tomorrow an hour earlier than usual. The next round of the Mini Magical Mystery will start tomorrow at noon as per the information post.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 13

Welcome back for day thirteen of the third round of mystery stitching! Just one more day for this SAL but at least you know the next is on the way so you won't go a day without a pattern to stitch, unless you choose not to! Again no bread to show off today as funnily enough a loaf of bread from the supermarket lasts two days when a homemade one vanishes before four pm! I have a seven grains bread rising as I type this so there will be something to show you tomorrow!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 12

Welcome back for day twelve of the third round of mystery stitching! Today, as mentioned yesterday, no bread photo as I'd not needed to bake bread yesterday due to having bought a loaf with the weekly shopping.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 11

Welcome back for day eleven of the third round of mystery stitching! Today's progress to the grand finale is going to add to what you did yesterday. Did you see that there will be a fourth Mini Magical Mystery SAL? You can check it out here! My loaf yesterday went well, I was a bit nervous as I was using some of the yeast that I'd frozen because the half pound block I'd managed to get my hands on was, of course, too much to use in one go so I put most in the freezer in little 2 oz. packages.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 10

Welcome back for day ten of the third round of mystery stitching! Just four more days to go before you know what this will really look like, I hope you found all the stitches in yesterday's part! Yesterday's slow risen bread was baked on a baking tray and decided to come undone (I also forgot to set a timer so it's good I noticed the smell of the bit of crust burning before it was fully burnt!)

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 9

Welcome back for day nine of the third round of mystery stitching! Today you will find out if you got all the edge stitches done in part six - and can fix it if you didn't. Youngest's bread came out really well yesterday - no picture sadly. There was enough dough for two loaves so we put the rest in the fridge overnight, it was a nice easy morning for me as a result!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 8

Welcome back for day eight of the third round of mystery stitching! Today things are a little late because I've been helping youngest make today's bread. Yesterday's bread was a success - well breads as I made three smaller beads as oldest wanted no seeds on top, youngest was dreaming of black sesame seeds and I decided to go nuts and do black seeds only (poppy and sesame seeds)

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 7

Welcome back for day seven of the third round of mystery stitching! Today we hit the half way point of patterns! Yesterday's beer bread was a disaster - it didn't rise at all and as I'd also misremembered the size of the dish required I used one that was 3x bigger than required. Small wonder it failed - but it was a good flat bread! Today I'm making a plain white bread - and I might go wild and sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 6

Welcome back for day six of the third round of mystery stitching! Making a batch of Swedish cinnamon buns as well as bread in the morning yesterday was a bit much for me apparently as my body's complaints department has several complaints that need hearing today. So today is beer bread day! No kneading, no fuss, just stir and fling into the oven!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 5

Welcome back for day five of the third round of mystery stitching! If you weren't certain after part three that you had your counting right you should be certain now! This mean that we can go off at a tangent and have some fun in other places of the embroidery! I've taken up bread baking as a way to pass the time, have yummy bread and get some exercise - you can get quite the workout making bread by hand!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 4

Welcome back for day four of the third round of mystery stitching! Hopefully you counted carefully yesterday and found you counted correctly on day one... if not then fortunately there wasn't all that much to remove to get it right with the added bonus of having an easier way to count to the correct place! Yesterday I did get to listen to the bees and counted three different kinds! Not bad for a centre of town garden!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 3

Welcome back for day three of the third round of mystery stitching! The last few days have been colder here though the sun is shining today pretending its nice and warm still. April being what it is meant that some people got snow yesterday - brrrrrr! Fortunately my apple tree is still in full bloom feeding the local honey bees and bumblebees! Its supposed to be warmer today so hopefully I'll be able to sit in the sun for a bit and listen to the buzzing of the bees.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 2

Welcome back for day two of the third round of mystery stitching! I have seen quite a few starts already! The colours are all so different from each other - it's such fun to see! Like some others I stitched the backstitched outline that I will need for finishing first. I did it because I wanted to make the finishing at the end a faster and easier process and I had a bit of time yesterday.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Part 1

Welcome back for day one of the third round of mystery stitching! It's been such fun seeing what people have been turning the first two parts into! Though some people are waiting with assembly till they know how many there will be - not something I know yet as the lockdowns/stay in place/quarantines are still ongoing and I'll be making these till all that ends - with an extra pattern (probably not given as a mystery) if needed to make things even so that the biscornu makers will have a back for the final one. I don't know about you but my hands are really suffering from all this hand washing. I'm allergic to hand cream, even the hypoallergenic ones, so things are getting painful. But I can still stitch so stitch I shall! Now on to the pattern!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 - Information Post

Hi and welcome to the third information post for a Mini Magical Mystery SAL! With lockdowns still enforced for many people I'm continuing with another mystery to keep you stitching! This pattern is the same size as the other two but will have fewer stitches in total than the second mystery. This mystery will start the day after the current mystery ends: 13th April.
