Rainbow Parfait and SAL Updates

For the last week, I've been working on two SAL's for groups I'm in on Facebook. The first was a SAL for the Disney Dreams Collection group, where we're just working on one of our pieces for the rest of July. I chose to work on The Little Mermaid.

This is where I started the SAL on July 15th:

I worked on the piece for thirty minutes a day for the week, so here is where I got to after the three and a half hours this week:

Not bad, if you ask me! I'm also going to be working on this piece for this next week as my Whine and WIPs piece, so I'll be working on it an hour a day for the next week. I'm excited to see how far I can get this week!

I've also worked on my Whine and WIP piece for Stitch Maynia for the last week too. I chose to work on my Skater's Village Tree Skirt by Dimensions.

This is where I started on the piece this past week:

And here is where I got to after an hour a day for the last week:

I'm really happy with the progress. This hour a day thing is working out really well for me!

After working on those two pieces, I picked up Rainbow Parfait from Glendon Place.

Here is where I got to yesterday:

I'm doing this on 32 Lugana in Mesa from Picture This Plus using the called for Dinky Dyes silks. I'm enjoying this piece a lot!

Until next time!

Stitch Maynia - Rainbow Parfait and Robin Hood

I just have to attest to the benefits of stitching therapy. I was not in the best of moods when I woke up yesterday morning. I blame the non stop storming and icky weather we've had in Dallas this spring. I was just grumpy. I didn't want to do anything but stitch, so stitch I did and it helped improve my mood drastically! I worked on two projects, in fact, and this should be my last two project day for Stitch Maynia.

The first project I worked on was Rainbow Parfait by Glendon Place.

I just adore these dessert patterns by Glendon Place and the colors on this one are just gorgeous! Here is where I got to yesterday:

I'm stitching this on 32 Lugana in Mesa from Picture This Plus using the Dinky Dyes silks. I adore the colors on this piece, they're just so bright and cheerful!

The second piece I worked on was more muted, but I still like it! It's Robin Hood by Little House Needleworks:

I didn't spend as much time on this piece as I did the other mainly because I decided to stitch on it at the last minute when I realized I still had too many pieces and not enough days left in the month! But any progress is progress!

I'm stitching this one on 32 Lugana in Sand from Picture This Plus. This didn't take long to stitch at all. It's nice to have pieces like this that are less complex than some of the others. The variety definitely helps keep me from getting overwhelmed!

Until next time!
