Well, I am not sure if I have ever been this late for the SAL. The simple reason for this is that I don't really have a lot to show, so I thought about skipping this month, but over the last couple of years I posted for this SAL every month and it just didn't feel right to skip this month and after all, there is one project on which I worked. And it's not Santa or Middle Earth!
I did my best to work on Middle Earth, I was on the frame for 4 days or so, but whenever I sat down to work on it, I found myself doing everything but stitching, even staring at the television like a dummy (I usually watch TV or listed to audiobooks when I stitch). I just didn't feel it. In those days I did like 30 or 40 stitches on Middle Earth, some of the days I couldn't even bring myself to work on it at all. Well, I checked back, since last June I have been working on ME every month and I think I was just so sick of it... My stitchy bug is a bit weird these days anyway and I don't want to loose it completely, so I put Middle Earth away for this month.
After that episode, I decided to pick up another of my GG SAL projects - Wolf Kiss by Dimensions. I haven't worked on this for ages and it doesn't have so many colors, so I thought is would be a good and easy project to get over Middle Earth. I worked on this for two evenings and went from here:
To here:
I actually am fairly happy with what I did in those two evenings. You know the pattern consists of two pages and this month I managed to finish the upper half of the first page (this is why the male wolfs face looks so funny, I wanted to finish the upper half so I don't have to flip over the pattern all the time). It also helped me to get my stitchy bug back again ;-)
Well, this is all I have for this month. Lucky me, the link up is still open and you can find it here.
Happy stitching =)
Don't lose your stitching bug! Wolf Kiss has come along very nicely.
AntwortenLöschenLooks like you got a lot done in those two evenings! I really love the look of this pattern. I hope you don't lose your stitchy bug. Your projects are so beautiful! Good luck in keeping your mojo. :)
AntwortenLöschenThanks for taking part in GG this month. You cannot miss a month, I won't allow it LOL
AntwortenLöschenThe wolves are looking great and you made a lot of progress for only 2 days. I am impressed!
You deserved that break from ME - I can see how that one can become tedious! Nice progress on the wolves. The male one can finally smell now! Also, yay for your stitchy bug being back.
