The Spring Magical Mystery SAL 2020 - Part 8

Welcome to part eight of the Spring Mystery SAL! After the single colour of stitching in the previous part you now get all four colours in this part - please take care to make sure you got them all - the numbers are below, the pointers are in the pattern.

The Spring Magical Mystery SAL 2020 - Part 7

Welcome to part seven of the Spring Mystery SAL! The sun is starting to set here and everyone seems to try and distract me from doing stuff - isn't it always the way? I hope you are not getting too many distractions while you stitch! Don't forget to post your progress to the Facebook group (linked below) its good fun to see what everyone is stitching!

The Spring Magical Mystery SAL 2020 - Part 6

Welcome to part six of the Spring Mystery SAL! I hope you are all enjoying the mystery! I had fun myself with it as I'm stitching along with you due to life getting in the way at the time I had planned to get the stitching done. This means I now have to stitch to keep up with the posts. Even then things got busy after the last post so I couldn't sit down to stitch till two hours after part five was posted! This time I made it in time with stitching, I might not be so lucky later.

The Spring Magical Mystery SAL 2020 - Part 5

Welcome to the first part of the Spring Mystery SAL proper! To make things easier for later finding of things we are going to continue with the numbering started with the pre-stitch patterns so this is the fifth pattern for this embroidery so it's part five. It's bright and sunny today - a lovely spring day!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 12

Welcome back for day twelve of the second round of mystery stitching! This part and the last two parts of this SAL will be posted an hour earlier than usual to avoid scheduling conflicts with the Spring Magical Mystery SAL which starts today and runs till Sunday.

Bookmark SAL - April

Welcome to the fourth part of the Bookmark SAL! For a change it's on time - and finished! The construction this month is easy too as it's stitched on perforated paper (or plastic Aida if you prefer) so it just needs cutting out. Please read the pattern notes before starting.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 11

Welcome back for day eleven of the second round of mystery stitching! In case you missed last night's post: the Mini Magical Mystery SAL 3 information post is up! For this SAL we are still going strong with some days left of stitching!

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.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 10

Welcome back for day ten of the second round of mystery stitching! Just four days left of stitching for this SAL but don't worry the next one starts on Monday! I'll get the information post sorted out later, but it's basically the same as the first two in size. Also please note that the Friday, Saturday and Sunday posts will be an hour earlier due to the Spring Magical Mystery.

Weavers Animals Band Sampler SAL - Part 4

Welcome to the fourth part of the Weavers Animals Band Sampler SAL! Hopefully you are all caught up with this SAL! Of course even in these difficult time it's possible to not be caught up. With all the adjustments we have to make in these times stitching could be a bit more than you can deal with right now. I hope that you are all well and creating something!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 9

Welcome back for day nine of the second round of mystery stitching! When this post goes up I'll be at the dr's for a check-up - with my health issues these things go on regardless of the current situation.  I hope you were all able to find it!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 8

Welcome back for day eight of the second round of mystery stitching! Spring is well and truly in the air here - along with enough pollen to sink a ship or three! I hope those of you who suffer from hay fever aren't suffering too much. I had to go out today and go past an area with flowering trees and its not so fun - staying home has it's perks.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 7

Welcome back for day seven of the second round of mystery stitching! Hopefully yesterday's part wasn't too big for you - and hopefully you noticed that the arm of the new "tail" was a stitch less than the first one (four stitches instead of five). Today's stitching will get you *almost* to the edge of the embroidery, but not quite.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 6

Welcome back for day six of the second round of mystery stitching! I'm not sure how it happened (probably kids distracting me) but I didn't correctly save the pattern while making it so today's pattern is actually a two in one pattern - a few more stitches than planned but hopefully not too much for you to keep up - sorry about that.

Ornament of the Month 2020 - April

Welcome to the fourth Ornament of the Month for 2020! I had a lot of fun with this month's pattern! If you don't want to use beads you could just do a square of red stitches instead in the spots that are empty as of course some beads are on red squares so you don't need to do them again.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 5

Welcome back for day five of the second round of mystery stitching! The spiral shape was pretty popular yesterday - hopefully you will like what gets added today! I have seen some wonderful colours show up - even some I would normally dislike but look fantastic on the fabric chosen.

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 4

Welcome back for day four of the second round of mystery stitching! The plot thickens as you get to add more to your mystery - but is it where you were expecting to add stitches today or somewhere else completely?

Seasons SAL - Spring

Welcome to the Spring edition of the Seasons SAL! Like last time I I still haven't got a time machine (If only!) and as it's been a super busy month I just wasn't able to finish the stitching for this month's pattern. I did get the Winter one stitched in January though so I'll show it first.

Temperature SAL - April

Welcome to the fourth Temperature SAL post! March has been and gone with many of us now having to stay at home in our houses due to the pandemic it's getting more difficult to actually feel the temperatures we are recording. Remember that if you have a stay at home order you can still go into your garden/on your balcony/sit at an open window to enjoy the sun when it's out and get a bit of fresh air. I have even had a few days when it was warm enough in the sun (though the air temperature wasn't all that warm) that I could sit and read in my garden for a while!

Mini Magical Mystery SAL 2 - Part 3

Welcome back for day three of the second round of mystery stitching! I noticed that a lot of people saw goldfish in the pattern yesterday - I wonder if all of you still see it after today? I'm still seeing fantastic finishes of the first Mini Magical Mystery SAL showing up in the groups - good going those of you who were able to decide what to make - it will help those who are still on the fence decide too!
