SAL fun!

I was really going to use 2010 as a year to finish many of my UFOs. I am doing that but find a need to work on new things along with them. It is an exciting creative energy that is released when you start something new. A kind of needlework steroid. *wink* When I saw a new French SAL starting on Sofie's blog, I could not resist. The first glimpse of it was beautiful as it is stitched lace. This appealed to my bobbin lace heart. As some of you know, I also make bobbin lace although I make little time now to do this.

I am using stash for this SAL and choose Wichelt Jobelan 'Bay Rum' 32 count fabric. I seem to have gone all chocolaty once again with my thread choice. I am using DMC 3858 and 3371 which is like looking at a raspberry filled dark chocolate bonbon. *wink*

Here is the first part of my 'In The Meantime The Summer' SAL.....


I will be away from my computer for this week. Jos and I are on vacation. We spent a few days at Cranberry Cottage since we had a long holiday weekend. We are back home to do the laundry and repack for a few days in Germany. I am looking forward to spending some time in the beautiful old village of Quedlinburg. I hope you all have a great week and I will be back visiting you on the weekend.

Don't forget that a day is not complete without needle and thread...
