SAL Update Project Onions and Gourds
Christmas is over in the bakery for us and this year we baked over 550 dozen cookies. That’s over 6600 cookies! That doesn’t include the dozens of breads, pies, rolls and other sugary confections we made. Needless to say I got zero progress done on my SAL in the last three weeks. My hands neededContinue reading “SAL Update Project Onions and Gourds”
SAL Update #4 Project Onions and Gourds
This time of year is very tough for me to get much stitching done because I am a baker. Yesterday was a 10-1/2 hour day and it will only get worse as the weeks leading up to Christmas get closer. Throw my son’s and husband’s work schedules and basketball schedule in there and well…you knowContinue reading “SAL Update #4 Project Onions and Gourds”

I am still looking for the right frame for this project so I will post againContinue reading “SAL Project Peacock Done!”
SAL Project Peacock and New Project Update
The last 3 weeks have gone by so fast and we have been so busy I only have worked on Salvador for a couple of hours.

SAL Update Project Peacock June25
I am so close to being done, but unfortunately I just couldn’t finish Mr. Salvador in the last 3 weeks.

So, here is where I wasContinue reading “SAL Update Project Peacock June25”
