Spring MSAL finish

Finally finished with the Spring MSAL, it has only taken 7 weeks, but that's why it is a mystery stitch along. Second finish for 2007. YAY!!!! Thanks Eva for having this MSAL.

Achoo! and spring MSAL

The Spring MSAL is coming along nicely. It took me three days to finish part 5 a day longer then any of the other parts. Friday I will get part 6 and then it's one more part and viola it will be completed. Have you noticed the flowers between the two topiary, I did the lazy daisy stitch on them, not the best but it was so much easier then how the chart had it, which you can notice the difference down by the numbers.

Achoo is going great, it's really beginning to look like a dog or uh well a critter at least. You can make out the nose now. It would be further along, but this week has been a slow stitching week for me. Just don't have the drive to push it like my normal routine of stitching late into the night. Instead I have been reading a book by Susan Maria Leach, more on that later.

Want to send a HEY! out to Greg at the 'bent needle . Yup another Greg and a great stitcher too, now how cool is that, two greg's that are stitchers. (to Greg in Nebraska - WOW on the Evangeline, sure is going to be FANTASTIC. My dog's name is Peajib and her daughter Izzy is running around here someplace too.) Keep up the great stitching.

If you notice to the left I have a list of blogs and one is LaGattaC Free Cross Stitch Patterns it's loaded with free legal patterns from all over the world, some good ones and some just ok ones. So load up on them, who knows what the future holds and you just need a small pattern for something or other.

Spring MSAL part 3

WooHoo I have part 3 of the Spring MSAL done. But have to go back and Frog the flowers. The one on the left side is two rows over to the right too far unbalancing the look. I didn't notice it last night when I finished as it was 1:30 am and my eyes where well they were doing their own thing at that time of night. But it's ok as it won't take long to frog it and redo the flowers. I am thinking about doing the Lazy Daisy stitch for both of the flowers instead. Hopefully that will make them look better.

On a happier note I am doing the backstitching on the Countryside White Church. Not much longer and I can say I have a finish for 2007.

Spring MSAL part 2

I got part 2 to the Spring MSAL yesterday and stitched it last night. It didn't take long at all and I got to stitch on the Countryside White Church which it won't be much longer untill it's finished.

The Spring MSAL part 2 has a brown bunny on the left and garden tools on the right side. The watering can and butterflies are from part 1. Five more parts and we will know what the completed piece will be. YAY! I can't wait.

I hope I have stitched the design the right way. Don't know yet but what would I do if I have it turned wrong. GEESH all that frogging!!!!!! Let's not think about that for now.
