By the time this posts, I’ll be in the air! My holidays would have kicked off and I am really looking forward to minimal computer time and massive family time over the next few weeks. I’ll still be on Instagram but maybe not here. So Merry Christmas to you all, and may you have a wonderful, fun-filled holiday season.

December’s StitchMaynia SAL was a finish line. After completing Wise Words, I moved onto Mermaids of the Deep Blue. As is usual with December, I over-estimated the amount of stitch time I would have and didn’t get to the goal. Nearly there tho!

It does show progress, and I think penciling it into the last week of January will see the stitching portion completed. But as I am doing SFS, and only have three packs of beads purchased, the finish itself will need to wait a bit.

The next SAL will start a bit early for me. I was really tempted by the Satsuma St 12 Days of Christmas but then I thought – I paid BIG money for the Hands On Design chalk ornaments and no, I don’t like that it’s 32ct instead of 28ct (my fault) but let’s get them done. They fit loosely into the “12 Days” theme and I have the chart copied, threads prepped, needle ready and it’s small enough to travel with. So I have these ready now, along with my pathetic start. I’m thinking I will do Cathy’s 12 Days series that she is featuring on IG right now – super cute!
