Week 40 A little further along. I am keeping my finger crossed that I can finish the main part and begin working on the border on page 3. Then before you know it will begin working on page 4, but I know that won't happen this week.
 This is where I am on my Stitch Along (sal) with Barb and Glenda. It's A for Acorn or Algerian Stitch. Am so glad that I am understanding more of what to do, that is for right now. lol Oh yeah, I am stitching this on 32 ct. Cream Lugana, I have to use reading glasses in order to see the holes. lol

| 3rd Finish for 2007 |
No Soliciting is my third finish for the 2007 year. I did this cool little project with my friend Barb. (Click on her name to check her blog out.) Oh, you noticed the sun is square. lol I didn't have a button to place there like the pattern called for, so I stitched it on there. A little odd looking, but who said the sun is round? Have you seen it to know for certain? I haven't! This was a fun project to do and I stitched it on Country French Aida 14 count Cappuccino fabric, which is a pure joy to work with.

| No Soliciting! |
Unless you're selling Cross Stitch Supplies 
This cool little pattern is from Designs by Lisa. It shouldn't take long to complete, the fabric I am using is Country French Aida 14 count in the Cappuccino color. It is so soft and just an absolute joy to work with. Check back in a couple of days for the completed project. Labels: cross stitch, sal |

| Achoo update 3-16-07 |
I have been MIA in this past week and skipped several days of stitching too. Just seemed like everything was needing to be done at once around here. Had several appointments to go to and the Dentist, I am plum tuckered out now. Oh yeah, 3 more pounds are gone, gone, gone. WOOHOO! . Finally an update on Achoo! Can you believe that I am still not finished with the head of the Dalmatian? Hopefully this coming week I can make a huge dent. Did I tell you that Achoo! is being done as a SAL (stitch along) with Glenda check her out by clicking on her name. She is by far a faster stitcher and a much better stitcher then I am. She hasn't updated where she is currently, I assure you it is a lot more then what the photo there shows. . Tonight I rotate over to the Spring MSAL (mystery stitch along) from one of my yahoo groups, Chatty Stitching Exchangers. I will recieve the final part of the MSAL as soon as I go over and sign in, can't wait to see what it is of. . It's raining here with a temp down in the 30's again. Huge adjustment as it has been up in the high 70's and low 80's this week, I even had the a/c on in the car Wednesday. I'd better get going as it is stitching time and I don't want to miss that.

| 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. Labels: cross stitch, msal, sal |

| Achoo! |
Achoo!
Bless you!
Last night I started my new project titled Achoo! Can't wait to see it finished. So far no problems have been encountered. It does have a couple of places where I need to blend the thread, but that's no big deal. I have noticed the thinness of the floss that Dimension uses, sure wish they would switch to a better quality of floss like DMC. Of course the stitching in the below photo doesn't look like much, but I spent several hours from 7 pm to 1 am working on that. Ok, so I did watch TV last night. The Oscars were on. .
