July 2018 plans

HELLO JULY

Hope all my Canadian readers had a wonderful Canada DAY!

1) ORNAMENT A MONTH

• This month I am picking one of the carolers from Christmas Chorus in Cross Stitch Favourites from a while back. This is designed from Durene Jones.

2) YEAR IN CHALK

• August is up next

3) LONG DOG SAL - Long Dog Samplers Mystery - Sneek

• Start and finish Part 5

4) FOCUS WIP

• This month is time to show Canada Sampler some much needed love, and I thought this was the perfect month to do that.
• I will also try and get at least one more cactus done on the Prickly but Cute SAL

5) NEW START

• The new Peppermint Purple Dutch tile blackwork SAL has started.  I would like to try to actually keep up with this one.  Since it is smallish, this shouldn't be an issue!

6) INK CIRCLES MONDAY

• Every Monday give an ink circles pattern at least a little love.
• Use the hashtags #InkCirclesMonday in Instagram
• For more information, see April 2018 plans post

Year in Chalk - July
Hands on Design

Wednesday night I actually attended at pottery session.  At the Girls Night Out in Cobourg, I made a little pinch pot and this was glazing it.  I will share a pic when I pick it up after it is fired again.  I am hoping to turn it into an ort pot or something else for my stitching.

Thursday I got to work on the next part of Sneek.  Here is my progress to Sunday night

I had worked on Sneek for the rest of the week except on Saturday for a bit.  While visiting my friend Kathy last weekend, I feel in love with her little SAL from Fuzy Fox designs on Etsy. I had seen it before and thought it was adorable, but seeing it in person made me break and I got the pattern parts that have been released.  I looked through my stash and found a fabric that I liked.  This one is also from Steph on 32t Linen.
Here is where the SAL was in April (last full pic I could find)
