I posed this question in my last post, for having 8 projects
going at the same time. The consensus
was that I was not. So there you have
it. I am having so much fun stitching
the mystery SAL. Over on the forum
About.com Cross-Stitch we have going on what we like to call a SWAT (Stitch
Week-A-Thon), it started this past Saturday and will last until next Saturday.
The rules are to stitch all day like the IHSW on one of the two Saturdays and
as much or as little as you want or can during the week between. You can share beginning photos, progress
photos during the week or wait until the last day and then share it’s up to
you. The main thing is to have fun, fun
and more fun stitching and drooling over everybody's work. For this SWAT I'm working on Around the World in
80 Stitches, I know there are several others that indicated that they were
going to join this SAL. Like I said I
actually started mine last Friday and this is a few of my progress photos.
My colors I showed in my last post were chosen randomly even
before I got the first chart, in addition to the 8 floral colors and the 3
greens there is to be a metallic.
Instead I chose a Light Effect from DMC E130, I think it was a great
choice. There are 2 beads that I haven’t
got yet, I will be going to stitch night this evening so I’ll be in search for
the perfect colors.
I hope you’ve signed up for this month’s IHSW it begins this
coming Saturday, if you haven’t go on over to Joysze’s blog and sign up. I know what I’ll be working on, how about
you? As always thank you to all of my
followers new and old for stopping by and sharing your thoughts and
comments. Now I’m off to make some
wonderful little xxs (well not all xxs this time).

That looks brilliant Minnie.See you are going for the fancy stitch.I down loaded both versions.Still plucking up the courage and wants the betting i have to get more fabric yet again.The cross stitch one has a few fancy stitches and looks pretty though.
Hey Julie! I have also signed up for this SAL but will not start for a while... still need to receive my pattern for one.
I'm doing it the easy cross-stitch way as the speciality stitches kinda scare me :/
Happy SWAT!
This is looking beautiful already - I must make a start on mine!
OH! I love the colors you chose...it's looking great! I signed up for this but am trying to make myself finish something before I start something else...you aren't helping here. ;)
It looks great! I'm ordering my fabric on payday then I'll get started next week.
Yvonne from Papillon has kindly agreed to me keeping a list of bloggers stitching this on my blog, so would you like to be included? There'll be a link to your latest post so everyone can pop over and see your progress.
I audibly gasped and said, "Oh my God, it's BEAUTIFUL!" When I saw this. Love it. Am now considering stitching it. Argh!
Good Morning Minnie,
