Well, here we are 10 days into January and I have my first finish! It is San Man Originals Let It Snow, a SAL for SMO message board members only. I actually started this back in November and the SAL ran for 7 weeks. I kept up with it pretty well but the last part came out late Christmas Day but I didn't request it until a few days later then didn't get around to stitching it. So here it is, stitched on Polstitches Dragon Shades Friendship using DMC, Dragon Floss and San Man Strands. I am delighted with the way this has turned out.I'm still doing quite well with CCN Forest Snowfall. I made quite good progress on the house last night and hope to get that bit done tonight. I can't see me having it finished by the end of the week but you never know! Off to stitch and see what I can do!
Oh I almost forgot! I wanted to share this photo of Abigail and our budgie Billy!
Do you think he likes her hat?!!!

Hello Sally,
The finished piece of work looks lovely, and I agree with stitchingranny's comment about the bell-pulls.
Reading your entry reminded me of something that a male friend of mine had once told me, after reading one of my blog entries (to do with cross-stitch). He had said that it was almost like reading something that had been written in a foreign language. He knew what cross-stitch was, but when I began mentioning different types of threads, it had gone over the top of his head.
I will admit that I haven't a clue what you're talking about when you mention "SAL", but it has kept me entertained trying to work out what it stands for (I'm guessing it's an abbreviation?).
