July Smalls SAL


07/29/2016

Payday, yay, it's payday!  I love it when payday falls on Friday, there's just something about  starting the weekend with a pocketful of money!  Although with one son in college and another starting his senior year of high school, I never really have a pocketful of money, more like a bottle cap full :)

July was a productive stitching month for me and while it isn't quite over yet, I wanted to get my post in for Heather's monthly SAL Challenge.  As always, thanks for hosting this Heather; it's great fun to check in with everyone and see what they have been stitching.

Where to start...


 Finished the last two Lizzie Kate Flip Its. Now I have to figure out how I will turn them into a page a month calendar as  a Christmas present for my sister-in-law.

 

Lots of Christmas stitching, most of which will be turned into cards.  Patterns from a variety of places.

 




Anniversary card for my husband. Pattern from Cross Stitch Crazy Oct. 2014
Wedding card for a friend's daughter.  Pattern from Happinest

Some card orders through my Etsy shop
 

A special request birthday card for  friend's granddaughter.  Pattern by Artecy












This three just because I wanted to make them. Patterns from Bewitching Cross Stitch, Cyberstitcher's and I'm not sure where I got the balloons from.
 

Birthday card for my husband ( he does most of the cooking). Pattern from Cross Stitch Crazy April 2016












Wedding card for a cousin's daughter.  Pattern from Daily Cross Stitch










And finally a small handmade notebook/ journal for a co-worker's birthday.  Pattern from Cross Stitch Crazy Aug. 2014.












I'm hoping August is as productive because I've got a lot of stitching planned.  However, high school starts mid-month and since my youngest plays both soccer and football, I will have considerably less free time.

Stay cool!

Happy 4th,
