August Goals

August Goals
Dave & I have 2 weeks holidays this month.  I invited my Mother-In-Law to visit from New Brunswick from the 7th to the 24th.  Not sure how much stitching time I will have so I am only giving myself one stitching goal.  Complete all the parts for my Garden Chair.  If there is time, attempt to assemble it.
I have joined 2 more cross stitch exchanges through my LNS (Stitcher's Place).  I want to plan my Halloween & Christmas exchange pieces.

July Review
I need to get back to my Just Nan 3D Limited Edition kits.  I have several that I want to complete this year (and the year is already half over).  I think I will work on the Gingerbread Mice from 2012 & 2013.  YES, I stitched the 2012 Gingerbread Mouse
If I get them done maybe I will work on my Garden chair.  YES, I stitched 2 full blocks and part of another one.

Just Nan & Smalls SAL for July


Today is the Just Nan SAL update for July.  I worked on the 2012 Gingerbread Mouse.  I finished the stitching & beading.  Just need to assemble it before Christmas so it will sit on my tree.



Yesterday was the 2014 Smalls SAL.


I worked on my Garden Chair.  The first photo shows the 2 finished blocks at the top middle and right and the 3rd one at the bottom I started.



The next photo shows all the blocks outlined.  You can see that I've got quite a few completed. 



In case you are wondering, this is a completed photo of the chair.  As you can see mine will be purple and cream instead of pink and green.  I had a hard time finding a fabric I liked in 32ct.

June Review
Start & Finish the 2nd project.  The baby was born last month.  This is the Jungle Handprints poem (Baby girl). - YES, but it was a day late (finished it today).  Here is a photo of my Happy Dance!!  Sorry the photo is a little crooked.
