iStitch SAL Part 3

Here's a quick posting of Part 3. I'm going to wait to stitch the borders and the rest of the lines until I finish all the motifs, because I'd like the thread to flow around it seamlessly. I also decided to add a few other pops of color, rather than using just the one floss. I like the way it looks. What do you think? Now I'm off to email my photo to Carol to get Part 4.

iSitch Part 2 SAL Done!

Here's Part 2 of the iStitch SAL completed.  I just got Part 3 in an email, but my black ink is out, so I can't print it out, bummer!  I may end up sitting in front of the computer later today and just stitching it from the screen, since it's such a small portion to do.  We'll see if I have time.

I've got to wash and hang the whites today, pick apart a chicken and make stock and some chicken noodle soup.  I'm also doing baking for my boys lunches this week and am making Snickerdoodle Muffins and Banana Buttermilk Muffins also.  These were both new recipes I tried last weekend and everyone just loved them both and devoured them in no time, so today I'm going to make double batches of both.

So I leave you with a picture of my SAL wip.

I was fortunate enough to get in on Carol's Mystery SAL over at iStitch. You have to complete Part 1 before she'll send the next part. So here's my picture of Part 1. I have not completed the border as I prefer to wait for the next Part before I do that as I tend to mis-count long borders like that. LOL

I'm using a mystery piece of linen that I got from Ebay a couple of years ago, but I believe it's 30 or 32ct and I'm stitching it over 2. I'm using a spool of SSP HDF that I got in a detritus bag earlier this year. I love this thread as it reminds me of a peacock and I think the blue and green are just lovely together.

I can't wait for the next part!
