Garden Shed – stage 13

Here is my SAL update on the Cut Thru Garden Shed cross stitch kit. Designer credits are here. If you need a reminder of how it’ll all turn out in the end, you’ll find a photo in this post.

This is where I was up to last time. No idea why the background is so blue.

Stage 12b

Here’s my next splodgy square. The raincoat and brolly are complete. That’s easy to see………but what’s that in the middle?

Stage 13a

It’s much clearer now. Did you get it before scrolling down?

Stage 13b

I’ve been doing a few jobs around the house and garden lately and I’ve been talking to my 14 healthy sunflower plants every day. I would’ve had 15 if the stupid wood pigeon hadn’t attempted acrobatics on top of one plant. He snapped the top six inches off, including the flower bud! Anyway, this morning I went for my usual wander around the garden and found one of the buds was opening. Sunflowers make me smile.

IMG_20190629_091109832 As you can see, it’s a very healthy specimen. It isn’t fully open yet but it’s looking good so far. This is a small variety called Helios Flame. It stands about 30 inches tall. I’ve got all the plants in a bed quite close together and haven’t needed to stake them yet. I’ll see how they go as the flowers open because they’ll be quite heavy. Hopefully the seeds will develop and the birds (pigeons are not invited) can have a feast. Do you have a favourite, easy to grow flower? If you have any suggestions I might give them a try next year.

About the SAL

This SAL (Stitch Along) is slightly different to other SALs in that we don’t all stitch the same design at the same rate. We choose ONE unfinished project, or ONE new one, and show progress of its completion over a series of three weekly updates. There are no deadlines and no set amount to stitch. The result is that the space in our drawers full of WIPs (works in progress) is gradually being freed up to store lots of new crafty goodness. It’s surprising how much motivation I’ve gained from being in this SAL. If you’d like to finish a project you’ve left unfinished for a while, or start a new one with us, you can join us by leaving a request in the comments below or sending me an email. The address is on the right of this page. I’ll send you a few simple rules to agree.

Garden Shed – Stage 8

Here is my SAL update on the Cut Thru Garden Shed cross stitch kit. Designer credits are here. If you need a reminder of how it’ll all turn out in the end, you’ll find a photo in this post.

This is where I was up to last time.

Stage 7b

Here’s the next square of splodgy stitching. Every shed needs a dart board!

Stage 8a 

Here it is with all the back stitching done. A few more items have become a lot clearer now.

Stage 8b

They’ve certainly crammed a lot into this shed. This square was fully stitched so it took a while to finish. The next stage to the right looks just as stitch intensive but it’s still growing well and that’s what matters.

Please click the names below to see what all the members have been up to in the last three weeks. Kate is taking a break from the SAL for a while but her blog is still well worth a read. Can’t wait to have you back Kate! We live all over the world so you may need to allow for time differences. Posting takes place every third Sunday, local time. Our next updates will be posted on the 7th April 2019.

This is where I was up to last time.

Stage 4b

There’s a mistake on this one!

Stage 5a

It didn’t take long to put it right. Can you see what went wrong?

Stage 5b

Here it is so far without the back stitch done.

Stage 5c

Here it is after the back stitch. I know you love the big reveal.

Stage 5d

That’s the top of the roof all done now. Next time I’ll be working on the section underneath at the far left.

A warm welcome to Mary Margaret who is returning to the SAL after a long break. We also have two new members, Renee and Jenny. Links to their blogs are included in the list below.
