First off - THANK YOU to Jo at Serendipitous Stitching. The Hubs went to the mailbox the other day and said, "Whatever you ordered is here". I was thoroughly confused because I hadn't ordered anything and said as much. He said, "Well here's an envelope of something".
Before I spend the day admiring the floss, I'd better move on to those SALs. The first is WIPocalypse (my computer isn't letting me copy the badge, but you can see it there on the left). Melissa at Measi's Musings hosts this SAL. A very low stress, easy SAL it is too. Just pick a few WIPs, stitch and post. She even gives us questions each month just in case we can't think of anything. This month's is very appropriate to the SAL and is "What projects are in your UFO pile?". My first thought was none as I expect to finish all my started pieces, but given that some of them are almost two decades old, I suppose they are technically unfinished objects. The list of all my started pieces is on the right there. I broke it down into Chatelaines, Other and HaEDs for no really good reason other than it made sense at the time. The pieces that I am focusing on for WIPocalypse are in my Current Rotation list and the WIPocalypse Project List and 2017 Stitching Plan tab up top there. In the last couple of weeks, I've only worked on two of the projects listed. The first is Shakespearean Fantasy. It went from here:
to here:
Almost another column finish. One more column and I'll have a page finish. Moving along, but slowly.
The second is A Glimpse of Santa. While it wasn't technically a WIP at the beginning of the year, I had plans to stitch it and planning is part of the process so it is squeezed into the SAL. No before photo, but it is now here:
I really do need to sit down and focus a bit more on this. It's an easy stitch and I should much more finished than I do.
The second SAL is

I think my work schedule has settled down so I should be able to get back to my normal stitching schedule this week, but I think I've said that before, so please, nobody hold their breath for that.

What a super finish on the Sampler Life smalls sampler! Good progress on your WIPs that you featured! What lovely threads you received from Jo! I look forward to hearing how you like stitching with them.
Those threads look great! I would get a set for myself but I'm trying to be good for SFS!
You've done loads on Shakespearean Fantasy this month and I am impressed with your dedication to the Sampler Smalls too.
What lovely threads! Jodyri's floss is great to work with, I'm sure you'll love it.
