    So many plans and so many beautiful projects! There are just too many great things to be tempted to join in with. I might be saved by not having the patterns 😉

    It was so wonderful to watch you and stitch this afternoon. I had a good laugh about your wips counts because I'm right there with you. More wips than ever had but I'm not regretting it at all. It's been so fun joining all the sals with our zoom group. Thank you for the lovely shout out and mentioning my birthday start. Happy Stitching ❤.

    I agree with Alex, your hair looks great! It was great to catch up with you. I have Cinnamon Stars but don't know if I have fabric or the flosses for it. I'll check on that. For Ruth's birthday sal I will join in with an existing wip. I have several with birds. Enjoy the retreat! I met Jacob at JacobPalooza last year in London Ontario. He is so nice and it was very interesting hearing his talks and seeing the antique Samplers he brought with him. Take care and enjoy!

      Thank you so much for watching. I have really enjoyed my starts so far. It has been a big help doing so many smalls!!! How about doing a '6 for 60'? This is what Stitchy Sally did - 6 biggish charts which she has concentrated on and almost finished all of them 6 months after her birthday. Whatever you do have fun as that's what it's all about!

    Hello Sally! Your previous video popped up and I thoroughly enjoyed it and subscribed right away. Your channel sounded so familiar. Well... I am "the lady from Canada" who is part of the "Shoo!" stitch along! 😂🇨🇦 My name is Laurel and I am from British Columbia. I was on UA-cam and Elaine's Flosstube popped up (not quite 2 years ago) and I was amazed at everything she was working on... especially Cheese Delivery. I left her a comment saying that I am a journal maker but loved her work. Her return comment said that she hoped I would find my stitchy bug. I thought that was so sweet but knew that would never happen! 😏 I'm sure you can guess what happened 😂 I haven't put my needle down since. My friend Lori will also be joining the Shoo SAL. I absolutely loved seeing all of your wips and plans and so wish I could have joined you at Elaine's for a visit. Take good care and happy stitching! Laurel 💖

Elaine has become such a wonderful friend and it is so nice to have her here in Wales. We hope to do a Flosstube together so watch this space! Happy Stitching and catch up on the 1st August I'm sure!

    Good to see you, as always, Sally. Before I watched your video I watched Lisa's video and it was so lovely to see her doing well. I think I would like to climb on board the Feast of Friendship SAL and did some kitting up on it today. I have had this pattern in my to stitch pile since I started cross stitching again in 2020. I'm not getting any younger and although my WIP total is getting a little out of hand I plan to start on the 29th. If I never start it, it will never get done. Love that house and the fruit basket.

I do think a start is just as good, if not better, than having something kitted up. A small start makes you one step closer to a finish! Maybe join me next year on a finishing and FFO'ing challenge 🤣🤣🤣 Happy Stitching! Xxx

It definitely does meet the prompt because it was your most recent purchase when you showed it!! I love the idea of your stitch-along with Lisa. I don't have the Feast of Friendship unfortunately, but I will follow along and do another chart that is all about friends called Seasoned Friend (Jeanette Douglas, Letters from Mom July). The chart is intended to depict and mother and daughter, but I am doing it for my very dearest friend. I do love all your starts and plans. I hope you have a lovely time at the retreat.
