A New Start..and Ahead on my SAL's!

This might be the only time I'll ever get to write this...but I'm ahead on my cross stitching goals right now! That means that I can do some WIP catch up. And we all know what that means... new projects! WIPs My original goals for the week was to get Row 4 of Sew by Row done. Well, I'm loving this one so much that I decided to keep this one moving along. I'm going to do a new row every week--originally I was going to do a row a month. I just finished up row 5 which are the irons. I even did the backstitching, which I had planned to save for the end. This pattern is just a joy to stitch. It's easy to read, well-chartted. And the pattern just makes sense. I highly recommend this one. It's a good evening-after-work stitch. I'm using Cloud 25 count lugana and the called for DMC floss. I really love this lugana. It is nice and soft, and the holes are easy to see. Then, my big committment for the month was to finish another part to my Spooky Hallow SAL ...

Sneaking in Stitches

I work full time, and have a husband and two kids. So many times, I have to sneak my stitches in. Here are some interesting places I have had to get my stitches is. First, I have to stitch early in the morning, or late at night when everyone is sleeping. I also do alot of car stitching.... I stitch in restaurants. I stitch on vacation.... I stitch by the pool. I have even taught my little one how to squeeze in some stitches! Where do you sneak in your stitches?
