Hey, Everyone!
I just finished the 4th page on my HAED SAL Glistening Wings!
Hey Everyone!
I finished page 3 on this year’s SAL, just in time for my vacation!
I’m going to head straight into page 4, but only for a little bit. Hubby and I are leaving in the morning for Las Vegas! I will not be taking my stitching, so I am taking a short break from it.
Happy Stitching!

I finished page 2 on my SAL!
I might take a tiny break before plunging into page 3…I’ll see what I feel like doing tomorrow.
Happy Stitching!

Last night, I finished a 3-D diamond painting kit that my hubby got me for Christmas. He bought me 4 in total and this is the 3rd one I’ve finished. I stored the other 2 before I thought to take pictures…I’ll photograph them next Christmas.
Now I’m going to go back to my SAL.
Happy Stitching!

Hey Everyone!
I finished the first page on my SAL Glistening Wings.
I’m taking a short break to watch the Rams/Panthers game (NFL) ‘cause the winner plays my team the Seahawks next week. I’ll be sticking with my SAL pattern for the foreseeable future since I really want to finish this one this year.
Happy Stitching!

Hey Everyone!
Just this once, I’m going to share a partial page photo. I chose Glistening Wings for this year’s SAL. At the moment, I have a little bit of a wing showing (the blue area). I’m doing this on 40ct. linen, in true half stitches.
The main reason that I’m doing a progress post before I finish a page is to explain the progress meter showing on the right —>.
I’m “old school” and stitch from paper copies, highlighting stitches that I’ve finished. I can’t get an accurate total stitch count that way, so I only count totally completed 10x10 sections of the pattern. So the progress meter shows that I’ve done 4,000 stitches which is about half way through the blue area horizontally. Obviously by the photo you can tell that I’ve done more than that, but I’m not going to count all those random stitches.
I’ll probably update the meter after every stitching session, but I won’t be doing more progress photos until I have page finishes.
Happy Stitching!

Belated Merry Christmas, Everyone!
I had a nice Christmas Eve (with the in-laws) and a quiet Christmas Day at home. Hubby got me some great, yet simple, gifts. Craft-wise, he got me four small diamond painting kits. They are printed acrylics that you accent with the diamonds and the diamonds are round or teardrops. Well, the kit I opened has the two shapes. He also got me wooden Quilting Dice which look like they’re going to be fun and helpful.
Now for the progress I promised in the blog title:
I just finished the 5th page on my SSMC Farewell to Anger. I’m now just over 5% finished. Yep, it’s a big’un. I really wanted to get this page done before January 1st as that’s when HAED releases the charts for the 2026 SAL. I’m going to try for a complete finish of this SAL, so I didn’t want to be distracted by an incomplete page on an existing WIP—that would drive me nuts! Since it was asked, I’m doing Glistening Wings (dragonflies) in the SAL.
Happy New Year and Happy Stitching!
Stacy
