Northwind SAL Week 8

Going to jump right in this week - 

Shari's

Mine
Angela's

As you can see there are just the two of us so far. Angela was away for the weekend and Rose has been super busy again this week. When I get their updates I'll edit the post and add them in.

Shari made great strides and has plans to finish hers this week. Mine is close to being done too - just a few snowflakes to go. (Honestly - it's done now) I just couldn't show more than 2 days worth of stitching without cheating. This SAL took a bit longer than expected but has been great fun. I got to meet another wonderful stitching sister and got to know two others much better. I am thankful to have been stitching with such great women!

**Edited** - Angela came out of her coma (her words not mine) and sent off her weekly picture. She's had a long weekend away and needed some recovery time. Visiting with friends and family will do that to a person! lol She doesn't believe that she'll finish in week 9 but has high hopes to get it done by week 10!

To fill my time and not cheat - I worked on this!

Peppermint Twist
Little House Needleworks
Scrap of 28ct linen
Recommended flosses
This makes number 45 in the completion column! I have another ornament about half done. It should be finished tonight if I stay busy and not get too distracted by Dancing with the Stars, 3 comedies on CBS, and the Kardashian wedding. I'm such a sucker for that show. 

btw - To all my Canadian friends - Happy Thanksgiving! 

I'm off to wake DH for work. Shift work makes strange sleeping times! Take Care and have a great day!

So, what's next in the SAL world coz I'd love to hop on over and join in if that would be ok. I hope you are getting that hand back into shape and not overdoing it, not that stitching would overdo anything but you know what I mean.
Be always in stitches.
