Despite a rotton summer cold, which just wont go away (and makes it hard to concentrate), I have managed some progress. One of my bees now has wings, and the bottom border is growing steadily. I am going to try and stick with this now as I can really feel the end in sight. Though it may not be until later in the year as there is still quite a lot to do.
I do hope you will go and see everyone elses work, as this is a very different Sal to most and we each work on our own individual projects which can be very different. It you are struggling with a large work, or have UFO;s (un-finished objects) hidden away then this is the SAL for you. We post every three weeks to show our progress and there is lots of support here to help you on your way. No targets to meet as we all stitch at a different pace and some have very little time to spare. If you think you may like to join us contact Avis – the first link below.

Sorry to hear you have been under the weather and I hope you are fighting fit again soon. Your cross stitch is looking great, the border is so beautiful with those shades of green and your bee looks fab with his wings. Jenny xx

Borders are the bane of my life but they do make so many pieces look complete. Good luck with that cold, I too tend the get them in summer.
