BFF SAL 11 - Happy New Year

Here we are at the start of a new year.  The Christmas period was hard for us, we had a sudden bereavement in the family when my father in law passed away unexpectedly.   So the blog and the stitches largely took a back seat for a while, although my BFF and I still did a Skype night last week just to have some time with each other.

But I've missed the SAL,  and with the help of my local library we were able to access back copies of Cross Stitcher magazine to find a pattern we both liked by a designer we both like.  There are variations,  so we remain on our theme of The Same But Different.   And typically,  particularly in my BFFs case, there will be variations on the variations.   But that is her tale to tell when she wants to.

So for now, here's my start on my own.  I'm working on 18 count for only the second time (feel like I hardly count the Tree of life as it still looks so huge in comparison to my BFFs over one..)

Enjoying this one, and eagerly planning our way through and beyond it.

    A natter and a few stitches and some hot chocolate, just what we both needed.

    Nice start, looking forward to its progress.
    I cannot do SAL's I always fail to get things done in a timely manner.

      Ah no time stresses here, it's a SAL only in name, essentially my BFF and I work as much as we wish in the allocated time, and then we wait for the other to catch up or allot outside time at the end of the project. So Jo deadlines or keeping up really needed.

      Thanks. I promise, they are much more alike than they look so far.
