Hola again stitchers!

This is my update for my April Showers Bring May Flowers SAL. I had a little bit of an issue with the fabric for Pink Flower: I cut it too short! It was my mistake mainly because I didn’t think of the border. Sometimes my mind takes a vacation and only leaves the excitement I’m feeling at the moment.

So, I will only have one little square left over which is obviously not good! Therefore, I will have to change that border. Don’t know what I will do but I’ll figure it out. I still feel a little bummed though. Anyway, this is how they look like as of today. I got these patterns free when I bought the new DMC colors. I decided to stitch them as part of the April SAL at Stitch Maynia. Pink Flowes is stitched on 14ct ivory aida and started on 3/13/16 and Purple Flower is stitched on 14ct oatmeal aida and started on 4/1/16. I’m almost done with both vases. My next step will be figure out how I’m gonna do the borders.

Hola stitchers!

So last week I mentioned that I did not like the way Katie Kitty from the Advent Animal SAL came out. This was mainly because of my poor choice of fabric which was white aida. Yesterday I spent almost the whole day trying to decide. I had a blue aida that I chose for another project. So, I swiched fabrics. Now, this SAL will be done in 14ct blue aida (as opposed to 16ct white).

In addition, I changed the border and chose to do a border that a fellow stitcher in the SAL Facebook group designed. It is of a cute little christmas stocking:

My intention, once I finish the whole series, will be to make it as a pocket ornament. I will be starting Peter tomorrow.

Gracias for reading! Happy stitching!
