Well... I missed my August and September posts. Summer weekends fill up fast and the evenings disappear in a blur of laundry, making dinner, washing dishes, and spending a few treasured moments with my family.
Thanks to the 3 week SAL hosted by Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea, I have managed at least one post a month. My travel project - SK Effects of Caffeine - is the only craft I have made much progress on, so there really has not been much more to share. I am working to change that!
October Goals:
1) Add 650 stitches to SK Effects of Caffeine. (The next update will be shared October 13th.)
2) Create a Christmas gift.
3) Share a Take a Stitch Tuesday (TAST) post. (This post is already scheduled to post Tuesday morning. Is that cheating???)
4) Create a mug rug with the Halloween embroidery project shared at the top of this post.
I am taking a break with my running goals because I tweaked my knee (not running) and am being nice to it right now. That being said, my son and I ran in the Salem Color Run on Saturday, September 28th and had a great time!
Wishing you all an amazing month!

The last few updates on my Charting Creations Fractal White Tiger cross-stitch project were shared on the Stitchy Start blog.
This is how it is looking now and I hope to make more progress in October.
The project is 20.58% complete. My goal is to finish pages 11 and 12 by the end of the year.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!

I am so excited the dragon is filling in so well!
1,262 stitches were added since September 1st.
My goal is to add 650 stitches every 3 weeks. This would put me on track to share a finish on our August 2, 2020 SAL update.
This is how it looked on September 1st.
The spine of the book reads:

This Heaven and Earth Designs (HAED) pattern, based upon the artwork of Randal Spangler, may be seen here.
It is the project I chose to work on for the stitch-along (SAL) hosted by Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea. We each select a project to work on and share an update every 3rd week. I hope you will visit the other bloggers to see the progress on their projects. We live in different time zones, so if a post is not up, please visit again later. Susan and Anne, welcome to the SAL!

Wow! Another 3 weeks has flown by and it is time for a 3 Week Stitch Along (SAL) update already.
My goal is to complete at least 650 stitches every 3 weeks (about 1 row across this chart.) Stitching time has been scarce and this area is confetti heavy, but I stayed up late last night to meet that goal.
The dragon's face is slowly filling in! He has eyelids and part of a snout.
701 stitches were added.
Estimated SAL Update with a finish: August 23, 2020.
This is how it looked on August 11th.
Our next update will be on September 22nd. Page 2 of the chart will be finished then.
Thank you for stopping by! I encourage you to visit the other SAL bloggers to see the progress on the projects they have chosen to work on. We are in different time zones, so if a post is not up yet, please check back later.
If you are interested in joining this SAL, please contact Avis (the 1st link below.) Participants select 1 stitching project to work on and share their progress every 3rd Sunday.
