Sew Dance

I caught up with the Lanarte Mystery SAL. Part 6 was quick and I finished that Friday. I made the tassels and attached them to the Wonderland Wrap CAL. I left it as is because it would've taken more time to figure out which 2 rows to remove. And back to OUaF and it's books. Didn't get as much time stitching on this because the very annoying noise caused in some capacity from a pipe behind my wall by my couch was being super annoying. So I went and read in my bed.

Just finished part 4 of Lanarte's Mystery SAL. Pictures of parts 2-4 below. This took all week minus Monday which was for the Wonderland CAL. My second cake had a longer color in the middle making my navy ends off. Still debating to rip and take two rows out, leave it, or make the sides uneven by doing two more rows. Either way, the tassels are the last part tomorrow. Also finished adding complete and in progress projects to that page, at least ones that I've posted about since I started this blog in 2012 (8 years!). A few I'm still deciding whether they should be wips or finished. Also I don't have ornaments listed. That would take up too much space.

Books have appeared on page 2 of Once Upon a Fairytale.  I also finished part 4 of the Wonderland Wrap CAL. And since my Mystery SAL kit came Friday, I started stitching that. Managed to get part 1 done. Part 5 comes out Friday so hopefully part 5 of the Wrap doesn't take too long so I can get back to OUaF at some point this week. Don't know if anyone noticed, but I redid my 'pages' on my blog. I replaced my stash list page with projects. It should be more neatly organized and not have so many broken links. I started with in progress ones that I've worked on since I started my blog. I will continue to update with other WIPs, finished, and the rest of my stash. Also did some organizing/inventorying of my cross stitch fabrics. I pulled out my "bag of fabric" and made a list of the sizes. I have a better idea of the hand-dyed ones and hopefully can pair them with some no background pieces (Rudolph and Purple Dragon come to mind). I also m...

Part 3 of the Wonderland Wrap CAL took a lot longer than expected. I kept messing up which didn't help. The pattern wasn't that hard but I would on occasion forget a puff or forget to secure the second puff. Finished another block of 10 across all 6 pages. Was starting the next row of blocks and suddenly got hit with, 'I'm tired of seeing dark colors.' So back to the dice. Rolled 'organized/inventory bin 5. Which included the yarn for the sports pillows. I knew I had the pattern in a different bin so I finished up the basketball which I had started years ago. I got the kit in 2015. Made half, though it looked weird with the rippling, stopped. Apparently I never blogged about it. And stuffing a 14" round pillow form into something only 10" wide took care of the rippling. Hardest part was trying to get the backstitching straight on something that was made in the round. I tried, but still a little wonky. Someone posted about a mystery SAL...

Finally finished converting The Accolade from parking to cross country. Yay! It took a bit longer because my yarn order came and I started the Hobbii CAL, Wonderland Wrap. My yarn order. May have gone overboard, but I do have a project in mind for everything. And Clyde. Just because.
