Still Here

I decided to see if my blog was still here since I've neglected it over the past couple years. Seems working full time in retail and trying to keep up with life in general doesn't leave me much time to post here. I am still crafting. At present I am on a crocheting kick. That seems to be my hobby of choice when I don't have much time to spend crafting. So, I am alive and kicking, just doing it a a slower pace them before. Susan

TUSAL Update For Februrary

TUSAL update : Here is my ornament ball which is a little fuller this month thanks to my Just Nan progress this past month

JNSAL Update for Februrary

Just Nan SAL progress for the month of February, I managed to complete 3 of 7 bands plus the border. Probably would've gotten more done if I had invested in the pair of cheaters sooner . Seems like I've hit that age where I need them to see the small stuff:) The good news is after work this evening I've managed to just about complete another band. Should be interesting to see how much more I can get done now that I can see:)

Till next time,

February's Just Nan SAL

For this month I have chosen to start on Lady Scarlet's Journey. This is a three part design and I hope to complete the first part this month. Today was the first day I worked on it and I managed to stitch the left side border and start on the first band.  Can't wait to see this one complete. I've been planning on stitching this design for several years and I'm grateful for Zeb's SAL to motivate me to get moving on it:)

Till next time,
Susan

JN SAL for January

Well, I completed my first Just Nan piece this evening -Christmas Morning. Now to decide how I'll finish this. You can get info about this SAL over at Zeb's blog http://www.ixari.net/
I've really enjoyed getting back into cross stitch and look forward to going through my JN stash to see what I'll stitch for February.

TUSAL

Here's my 1st TUSAL of the year. I've decided to put all  my orts into an ornament I picked up after Christmas at Joann's. This is what I've managed so far this month working on my Just Nan Christmas Morning project. It should be interesting to see how full it gets this year.
