Serial Stitcher SAL Update

I chose three projects to work on during this SAL, so far I have only stitched a bit of one of them, I would love to have managed more, but unfortunately the pain in my joints is making it difficult, so I suppose some is better than none. I am hoping to do a bit more of this tomorrow, before moving on to a different project.

Cross Stitch Serial Starter SAL January

I am not really a serial starter, I am one of those stitchers who has to finish a project once it is started. However as part of the CCSC 2011 I now have 15 projects on the go. So from the 26th Jan to 31st January I am picking three of these and thats all I will work on as part of the SAL. Below is each one as it looks now and hopefully on the 31st when I post pics they will look if not a lot, then at least a little different.

WIP - Project 15

This is certainly starting to take shape now, I had hoped to finish this over the next couple of days, however real life has again interupted my sewing and I have to do some real work... but at least once my work is finished I will be able to stitch without feeling guilty.... well for a little while anyway.

WIP - She's a cute little devil

Managed to stitch a bit more of this cute little devil last night, love her.

WIP Update

Loving this little devil, she is coming along nicely x

WIP - Project 15

Managed to get some stitching done today. I am loving stitching this one, its going to be one cute little devil.

Update

Ok, I managed to start my 15 projects by January 15th. It was a bit of a rush at the end but I did get them all started. ... all I need to do now is make sure I can finish them.

This is my progress on Project 15, I actually managed some stitching today.

CCSC 2011 15 Day challenge

Sorry I have not been on all week but life has been hectic, I did however manage to start my 15 projects by the 15th January, albeit I started 3 yesterday, 4 if you count the one I started and didnt like. I will pop back later today and post an update of one.

Hopefully work will not be as manic and I will be able to keep up to date with posts about my progress x

CCSC 2011 Project 8

This is one of the smaller projects I chose. This is one is I wanted for on the wall of my craft room. I am now only one project behind so it will either be tomorrow or Tuesday that I do a double to catch up, it really just depends on how the day pans out.

WIP Project 7

I wanted to keep stitching this one, but had to put it down as I am already behind. I thought this weekend I would achieve amazing things, but alas the family thought different, so did not get as much stitching done as I would have liked to.

CCSC 2011 Project 7

This is my choice for Project 7, not sure how much I will get done tonight as I am off out for a little while with my friend.

WIP Project 6

Not much done but at least it is started. Spent more time than I thought sorting and winding threads.

CCSC 2011 Project 6

This pattern arrived in the post this morning, so decided this would be my project 6. I am slowly getting back on track with the challenge. Hopefully work wont interfere for the next few days.

WIP Project 5 Day 1

Not a lot stitched but at least I am catching up with the ones I am behind on.

It had to happen

Well I am officially behind with the challenge, dont you just hate when life gets in the way of your hobbies :LOL: oh well, I have spent the night stitching and thanks to a cancelled shift tomorrow I will now have the whole weekend to get back on track. I will take a pic of my progress with project 5 in the morning when the light is better and then I can make a start on Project 6.

CCSC 2011 Project 5

This is the Project I should have started today, but I have been on shift all day with a sleepover tonight and I dont get home till 5pm tomorrow night. So absolutely no time to put needle to aida. I have sorted out the threads but that is all. Oh well it was inevitable that I would fall behind, but I will catch up and have 15 WIP's by 15th January.

WIP Project 4 Day 1

Not a lot stitched due to work commitments but at least its started.

CCSC 2011 - Project 4

This is my next project in the Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge, its called City Slicker. Lucky for me its only a little project because it 11.40pm here and that is me just getting a chance to put needle to fabric. How inconvenient when work interferes with our hobbies. But I will be back in the morning with a pic of my progress to date.

WIP Project 3 Day 1

Well isnt it amazing what you can achieve when you cant sleep, managed to get this done before heading off to work this morning, which is just as well as I am on a sleepover with no time to stitch. At least I am staying on track. Managed to sort the threads for tomorrows project, but wont make a start on that until I get home tomorrow afternoon.

CCSC 2011 - Project 3

This is my 3rd project in the challenge, its called Evensong. I managed to get some of this done this morning and hopefully will get a bit more done later tonight...I say hopefully as I am working and on sleepover. Oh well we will see.

WIP Project 2 Day 1

Not a lot done but its a start.

CCSC 2011 - Project 2

I am starting this today, not holding out much hope for doing much as I am going out to dinner later with my sister, its a tough old life really...looking forward to my meal out as the diet starts tomorrow, time to get the weight off I put on because of the steriods....the steriods might have caused it, but I am now the reason it is still on, so its time for a change ;o)

WIP Project 1 Day 1

Not a lot stitched but I was working all day LOL. I actually was surprised to get this much done, because of my joints I have to keep stopping, so quite pleased actually :O)

Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge - Day 1

I chose Breast Cancer Annie as my first project in the Crazy cross stitch challenge. I chose her first as a reminder that I am heading into my 2nd year cancer free. As I have been left with so many problems due to my chemotherapy, I sometimes need the reminder that I am a "Survivor" and not a "Victim". I bought this pattern on line at http://www.patternsonline.com/ love their site.

Will post a pic tomorrow of how much I got stitched.
