SAL Update - Happy Dance!

Since our last update 3 weeks ago, I have finally finished the second of 24 pages.

Here is where I was last time. I had a bunch of confetti stitches ahead of me in that tiny place on the bottom.

Here it is with the second page completed.

And here is where I am as of yesterday. There are just a few more stitches on the tree trunk.

 I had hoped to stitch some more yesterday, but my mom fell in her bathroom on Friday afternoon and is now in the hospital at least until Monday with dehydration and a UTI. I managed to put up my Christmas Village as the visiting hours are limited, but I wasn't up for stitching. 

Thanks so much to Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea for hosting this Stitch Along.

Please take the time to visit the other bloggers below who are part of this stitch-along.

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Sorry to hear about your Mom’s fall. Glad she did not break any bones. A UTI and dehydration are easy to deal with in comparison. I hope and pray she is feeling back to her usual self very soon. Your three boats picture looks amazing.

  20. Oh so sorry to hear about your Mum. Its 7 years since I lost my mum but we had to deal with falls etc, usually caused one way or another by UTI. People do not realise how something so simple can cause so many problems in the elderly. I hope she recovers soon, and she is far more important than any stitching Cathie xx
