A new year, a new start ...

I really couldn't help myself. This chart has been "yelling" at me so what could I do, but start it. I was going to wait until mid January, but at the end of November out it came.

So here it is, this is my first page completed on "Eldar" by Randal Spangler. I am making this as a special request from my daughter for the baby's room. (I think it will look really great in there).

I began on the 20 November 2010 and completed the page on 2 January 2011, it is stitched on 28ct Cream Lugana and is stitched in full cross stitch with 1 thread over 1.

I didn't work on it every day because some days were much better than others healthwise. I really wanted to get page 1 completed before I moved on to this years SAL project.

I also received and began the 2011 SAL from the HAED BB. It is a year long project and I was so overwhelmed with the choices that were offered, but I think I chose well. I picked another Randal Spangler chart "QS Curl up with a good book". I will post a picture next update because I haven't done very much on it, so I would rather wait. You will all have to wait in suspenders (oops, I meant suspense).

Until next time, happy stitching

Famous last words ...

I got caught up in the fun and decided that I just "had to" set some project goals for the year. I have tried to be realistic about what I want to achieve, so here goes ....

• 2011 SAL - QS Curl up with a good book (pages 1, 2 & 3)
• Eldar - (pages 1, 2, 7 & 8)
• 2010 SAL - SK Masquerade (pages 2 & 3)
• QS Dragon Luck (pages 1, 2 & 3)

All things going well I may be able to add to this list before the year ends.

Until next time, happy stitching
