Year of Starts!

That is the title of a SAL in the Facebook group I’m a member of: Stitch Maynia. Year of starts is a crazy SAL where most of us are participating. It consist of doing 366 starts in a year (daily starts), 52 starts in a year (monthly starts), or 12 starts in a year (monthly starts). I chose to do 52 starts in a year and, so far, I’m up to 16 which puts me ahead (this week is week 15 of the year). Anyway, so this week I thought I was behind by one week so I did two starts. I was so sure I was on time but a typo in my report in the group confirmed that I was, indeed, on time. However, I found out after I started two pieces this week.

So, I will be sharing the last three pieces that I started:

The first one is Espresso Yourself by Kinkavel Kross. The starting point is just the top of one of the coffee cups. I’m planning to finish the cups and do the letters for the rotation.

The second one is a bookmark that I am planning on giving it to my niece as a gift. She loves cats and I think this one is cute and it will be very useful for her bible. As you can see, I have a paw and the word “paws” already done. Next I will be finishing all of the paws and the letterings.

The third one is a second chart that came in a pack of DMC threads. It was a pink and a blue flower. Therefore I am making this a part of my “April Shower Brings May Flower” SAL over at Stitch Maynia. I am planning on finish them both; or at least I’ll try. I started with two of the flower stem. Next I will finish the vase.

The last two were the ones that I started on the same day. Therefore, now I’m ahead of the game. 
Thanks for reading and happy stitching!
