Hi everyone,
Guess what day it is today…….it’s Happy Dance day!
At last we have a Happy Dance, me and Claire that is 
. We’ve now finished Cirque des Cercles by Ink Circles. When we decided this was to be our next SAL project, there was a little doubt in my mind about whether we would ever finish it. However, it looks much more complicated than it really is and it turned out to be the perfect SAL project.
Ta-daaaaaa!
Me and Claire will be revealing our new SAL project next Sunday (28th) and we’ll also be keeping to our three weekly postings from now, along with Gun in Sweden, Jule in Germany and Kate in Australia who are all stitching along on their own lovely projects. Don’t forget to pop along to their blogs to see their progress so far. Just click on their names above. We are all posting some time today .
If anyone else would like to join the SAL, maybe to finish a WIP or to start something new, just drop me an email and then all you need to do is post an update every three weeks on the same day as us, linking to the rest of the group and show some progress. It can be as little or as much progress as you wish but it must be some progress 
. If you don’t have a blog but would love to join in, I’ll happily post a photo of your progress with my updates if you wish. My email address is at the right hand side of this page. You all know you have a project that doesn’t deserve to be left unfinished at the bottom of a drawer. It doesn’t even have to be cross stitch so you have absolutely no excuses. This is the way to get something finished. Go for it!
Now I’m off to choose threads for the next SAL and hopefully there’ll be lots of emails from all of you wanting to join in .
Have a lovely day!

. I’ve admired Gun’s sewing since I started reading blogs. She is a master of colour and (I think) her speciality is bags and pouches. She just can’t stop making them, every size, shape and colour! Unfortunately, Izz at 
but she is going to continue stitching her sampler, just at a slower pace. Claire is stitching the same design as me and Gun is stitching a lovely selection of florals. Why not pop over to take a look at their progress which will be posted sometime today?
