My SAL stitching on “Getting Ready” has been rather eratic these past few weeks. Rather like my other crafting where I seem to have been moving rapidly from one project to another (all will be revealed very soon!).
Last time, in May, I showed you this photo
I really should have done some backstitch to give the waiter on the left a face, but instead, I just kept threading up my needle with different colours, and stitching a bit here & there. The result of which looks like this
Not too shabby but still quite a lot to do.
Let’s do some blog-hopping now and see what other SAL members have been up to.
Avis, Gun, Carole, LucyAnn, Kate, Jess, Sue, Constanze, Debbierose, Christina,
Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Helen, Steph, Linda, Mary Margaret,
Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Hayley, Tony, Megan, Timothy
And our next update will be on Sunday 8th July.

Am I wrong assuming all these projects are baby-related? Can’t wait to find out whether everything should be pink or blue 🙂
lol the last posts with baby book & crinkle toys yes . . . but the title of this cross stitch is pure coincidence and nothing to do with babies whatseover.
^^ so funny and brilliant coincidence
I know nothing about cross stitch – apart from the fact that I never want to do any – but it sort of fascinates me that nothing much seems to be happening with it and then, slowly, more and more details start emerging. Apt that it’s called ‘Getting Ready’ in your current family situation 😉
funny that you’ve never been tempted to try cross stitch, Lynn, because a small project can be very relaxing and portable.
stunning effort, you have done well, and yes I must admit back stitch can be boring part – although it makes the world of difference in the end, I love the definition that takes place.
I’ll try and add some backstitch for next time – at least to get the waiters finished.
You have got a fair bit done, so we can wait for the waiter’s face… We know who it is, after all!
thank you Kate. I feel like I’m making progress and certainly put in a fair few hours this time . . . but when I stand back to look, it doesn’t seem much for the hours it took.
Come on, you gotta keep up with Avis on this one 😛 – Good progress none the less
she’s so far ahead I’ve given up trying to catch up lol
I’m with you Claire! I would rather keep threading that needle with new colors and move with the momentum you have at that time! Looking great 😀
You’ve done really well considering all the other projects you’re churning out, not to mention all the ideas I know you’ve got spinning around in your head.
Great progress
You are making great progress.
Looking fabulous!
I’m in the same place as you with my projects. A little bit of this, some of that, and that… But you have this project almost in the bag!!
You have so many craft projects on the go that I’m impressed with your progress on this one. I do feel sorry for that poor faceless waiter though LOL
Looks great! Not much more to go.
Those faces makes me smile whenever I see them!! 🙂 Good progress!
It’s looking good, even with a faceless waiter! He does look odd doesn’t he?
This is going to be a true work of art with threads. Wonderful. 🙂
I think its going to get tough from now on as that carpet looks as though it could be very boring to stitch. Good luck and try to keep up the good work you have done so far.
I love the way the little details fill in. I used to like to save some small detail in a project — the “light” in someone’s eye, for example, which always feels like breathing life into the work. So let that waiter remain faceless while you keep on stitching!
I think that’s great progress, I love seeing everything gradually appearing.
