There is a wonderful group of ladies over at the About.com
Cross Stitch forum that I have been very lucky to meet (at least on the
internet) and we have a week long stitch-a-thon that we call a SWAT. It started
as a one day stitching marathon that has evolved to include a whole week; the
rules are there are no rules. You stitch
as much or as little as you want/can and have fun knowing that somewhere in the
world there is someone stitching with you.
I have been able to stitch with a friend every day and finish many
projects. The first SWAT for 2012 started Saturday morning and I stitched
on and off all day because you know life doesn’t stop and people have to eat. I finished off the partial skein of DMC#436 that I was using
on the African Women the night before and instead of starting another I decided to give some
attention to the black & white project I have going, it hasn’t been worked
on since before Christmas. This chart is
of another Shaman and is being stitched on 18 ct. Aida, when finished will be
one of the six squares in my wall hanging project. My goal is to hopefully finish it by the end
of the SWAT and then on to another WIP for the IHSW.
The weather here in Virginia has turned to winter finally and I am freezing. The heat has been turned on and I am about to start Sunday dinner in the oven so that should warm things up a bit. Hubby has control of the remote so i guess it will be football and stitching the rest of the day.
Here are my update photos.
Well it’s time to go make some more little xxs. Thanks for
stopping by and welcome to my new followers.

Isn't it awesome to use up an entire skein of thread? I just get giddy in my tummy doing that!
Wow, your projects are really cool. I love the African faces! You need to put a little photo of the designs in your sidebar so we can be reminded of the finished results!
